CPC Class H04N

Provided is an imaging apparatus and an imaging control method, which can change a distance measuring accuracy according to a distance from the imaging apparatus to an object. The imaging apparatus includes a control unit that controls outputs of an irradiation signal including an irradiation code and a reference signal including a reference code, and an imaging unit that includes a photoelectric conversion element. The imaging unit generates a pixel signal indicating correlation between reception light incident into the photoelectric conversion element and the reference signal, and generates a distance pixel signal based on a distance to an object on the basis of a ratio between a first pixel signal in a case where a first combination of the irradiation signal and the reference signal is used and a second pixel signal in a case where a second combination of the irradiation signal and the reference signal is used.

The present disclosure relates to a detection device and electronic equipment, in which a detection accuracy of minute light can be improved.A detection device includes: a pixel array portion in which a plurality of first pixels including a photoelectric conversion unit, and a plurality of second pixels not including a photoelectric conversion unit, are arranged; and a driving unit configured to drive the first pixel and the second pixel. The present technology, for example, can be applied to a light detector, a radiation counter device performing radiation counting by using the light detector, and a biological examination device using the light detector, such as a flow cytometer.
