An imaging element incorporates a memory and a processor. The memory stores image data obtained by performing imaging at a first frame rate. The processor is configured to output the image data at a second frame rate. In addition, the processor derives shake degree information indicating a degree of shake included in an image indicated by the image data, using the image data, and outputs the derived shake degree information at a rate greater than or equal to the second frame rate. The first frame rate is a frame rate greater than or equal to the second frame rate.
