Abstract
There is provided an imaging device which includes a photoelectric conversion section including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements photoelectrically convert incoming light into an electrical signal, a first detection section that detect a detection signal in a case where an absolute value of an amount of change in the electrical signal generated by each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements exceeds a predetermined threshold, a flicker determination section that determines whether or not a detection signal caused by a flicker of a light source is included in the detection signals detected by the first detection section, and a second detection section that detects a detection signal caused by a factor other than the flicker, in a case where it is determined that the detection signal caused by the flicker is included.
