    Abstract: Provided is an imaging element that includes a pixel array unit, an individual on-chip lens, a common on-chip lens, and an adjacent on-chip lens. The individual on-chip lens is arranged for each of pixels and individually condenses incident light components on corresponding one of the pixels. The common on-chip lens is commonly arranged in the plurality of phase difference pixels and commonly condenses the incident light components. The adjacent on-chip lens is arranged for each of a phase difference pixel adjacent pixels, individually condenses the incident light components on corresponding one of the phase difference pixel adjacent pixels, and is formed to have a size different from the individual on-chip lens to adjust a shape of the common on-chip lens.
