    Abstract: An imaging element incorporates a processing circuit and a memory. The memory stores captured image data obtained by imaging a subject at a first frame rate. The processing circuit performs processing based on the captured image data stored in the memory. An output circuit outputs output image data based on the captured image data to an outside of the imaging element at a second frame rate. The first frame rate is a frame rate higher than the second frame rate and is determined in accordance with an occurrence cycle of a flicker, and the processing circuit detects a flicker effect avoidance timing at which an effect of the flicker on imaging by the imaging element is avoided, based on the captured image data of a plurality of frames.

    Abstract: A digital camerathat includes an imaging sensor having a stop 2 arranged in front of an imaging surface includes an imaging control unit that starts exposure of pixels on the entire imaging surface at the same time and then, ends the exposure of the pixels at the same time in a state where light from a subject is incident on the imaging surface, by controlling an imaging sensor drive circuit which drives the imaging sensor, and a processr that sequentially changes an F number of the stop 2 to a plurality of values during a period from the start of the exposure until the end of the exposure. The processr controls a time in which the F number is maintained at each of the plurality of values to be a time that is based on a function indicating light transmittance characteristics of an APD filter.

    Abstract: A digital camera includes an imaging control unit that images a subject by performing driving based on a rolling shutter method on an imaging sensor, and a light emission control unit that emits auxiliary light a plurality of times from a light emission device while the imaging is performed. A difference At between start timings of exposure started by the driving in two adjacent pixel rows is a value other than 1/n (n is an integer greater than or equal to 1) of an exposure time in which the exposure is performed. The light emission control unit controls a light emission cycle of the auxiliary light to be a time that is m (m is an integer greater than or equal to 1) times the difference.

    Abstract: An imaging element includes a reading circuit that reads out pixel data obtained by imaging a subject at a first frame rate, a memory that stores the read pixel data, and an output circuit that outputs image data based on the stored pixel data at a second frame rate. The first frame rate is a frame rate higher than the second frame rate. The pixel data includes phase difference pixel data and non-phase difference pixel data different from the phase difference pixel data. The reading circuit reads out the pixel data of each of a plurality of frames in parallel within an output period defined by the second frame rate as a period in which the image data of one frame is output, and performs reading of the non-phase difference pixel data and a plurality of reading of the phase difference pixel data within the output period.
