1. A light detecting device, comprising:
a pixel array including a plurality of areas, each of the areas including at least one pixel that detects a change in luminance of incident light occurring outside a dead band as an address event; and
a processor configured to control a width of the dead band according to a number of times the address event is detected for the at least one pixel within a time period.
