An imaging element of the present disclosure includes an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert multiple analog pixel signals that are acquired under multiple imaging conditions different from each other and that are output from a pixel, to multiple digital pixel signals, a threshold setting unit configured to set, on an input side of the analog-to-digital converter, a threshold that is randomly varied, a comparison unit configured to use, as a comparison threshold, the threshold set by the threshold setting unit and compare the comparison threshold with one of the multiple analog pixel signals, and a selection unit configured to select and output, on the basis of a result of comparison from the comparison unit, one of the multiple digital pixel signals that are output from the analog-to-digital converter.
