Abstract
This disclosure relates to an imaging element, an imaging element control method, an imaging apparatus, and an electronic device adapted to suppress the drop in yield of the imaging element with an ever-higher density of circuitry. Multiple transfer paths are configured to transfer, bit by bit, a time code of a predetermined number of bits for use in converting into a digital signal a pixel signal reflecting the intensity of light received by a pixel. The transfer paths are provided with a relief transfer path that is switched for use in the case where an error has occurred on the multiple transfer paths. This disclosure may be applied to the imaging element.
