Abstract
An imaging sensor according to an embodiment includes a pixel () including a first light receiving element (L) and a second light receiving element (S) that generate and accumulate photocharges through photoelectric conversion according to received light, and an interpixel capacitance that accumulates photocharges overflowed from the first light receiving element and the second light receiving element during an exposure period. The second light receiving element has a sensitivity to light lower than a sensitivity to light of the first light receiving element.
