Abstract
Imaging capable of obtaining information regarding an object regardless of a motion state of the object is disclosed. In one example, a solid-state imaging element includes photoelectric conversion elements that perform photoelectric conversion to generate a photoelectric conversion signal; and a generation unit that generates a first signal in a case where an amount of change of a photoelectric conversion signal output from a single one of the photoelectric conversion elements exceeds a predetermined value, and generates a second signal in a case where a difference value between photoelectric conversion signals output from two of the photoelectric conversion elements exceeds a predetermined value.
