Abstract: A decrease in strength is reduced of a polarizer of an imaging element in which the polarizer that detects polarization information of a subject is arranged. The imaging element includes a plurality of pixels. The plurality of pixels included in the imaging element each includes a color filter that transmits light having a predetermined wavelength of incident light and a polarizer that performs polarization of the incident light, and generates an image signal based on the incident light transmitted through the color filter and the polarizer. The polarizer included in each of the plurality of pixels adjusts the polarization depending on the color filter in a corresponding one of the pixels of the imaging element.
