Abstract
To facilitate conversion of a frame rate of moving image data in an imaging element that images the moving image data. A pixel array unit is divided into a plurality of divided regions each including a plurality of partial regions. A scanning circuit sequentially performs control of exposing a predetermined number of regions of the plurality of partial regions as first partial regions to output first pixel data in each of the plurality of divided regions, and control of exposing a region different from the first partial regions of the plurality of partial regions as a second partial region to output second pixel data in each of the plurality of divided regions. An image processing unit sequentially performs processing of arraying the first pixel data to generate a first frame and processing of arraying the second pixel data to generate a second frame.
