Abstract
An image sensor element includes: a first pixel having a first photoelectric conversion part, a first accumulation part which accumulates electric charge generated by the first photoelectric conversion part, and a first output part based on a voltage of the first accumulation part; a second pixel having a second photoelectric conversion part, a second accumulation part wherein electric charge generated by the second photoelectric conversion part, and a second output part which a second signal based on a voltage of the second accumulation part; an output line to which the first and the second output parts are connected and from which the first and second signals are output; and a control unit which is able to control the voltage of the first accumulation part to be a first voltage and ability to control the voltage of the second accumulation part to be a second voltage different from the first voltage.
