Original Abstract Submitted
in order to solve the foregoing problem, the present disclosure provides an imaging device composed of a plurality of pixels, wherein a first pixel among the plurality of pixels includes: a first photoelectric conversion element; a first power storage unit; a first transfer element that enables a conductive state or a non-conductive state between the first photoelectric conversion element and the first power storage unit; and a first amplifying element that amplifies an image signal on the basis of a charge stored by photoelectric conversion in at least any of adjacent pixels, including a second pixel, that are adjacent to the first pixel, the second pixel including: a second amplifying element that amplifies an image signal based on a charge stored in the first power storage unit by photoelectric conversion of the first photoelectric conversion element, and a second distance between the first power storage unit and the second amplifying element is shorter than a first distance between the first power storage unit and the first amplifying element.
