IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGING METHOD

To output event information at high sensitivity and high speed with a simple configuration. An imaging device includes: a plurality of pixels each having a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements that photoelectrically converts incident light to generate an electric signal; a detecting section that outputs a detection signal in a case where an absolute value of a change amount of the electric signal in a pixel of the plurality of pixels exceeds a predetermined threshold; a signal processing section that performs predetermined signal processing on the basis of the detection signal output from the detecting section; an AZ output section that outputs an auto-zero signal for initializing the detecting section; a time code generator that outputs a time code changing at a predetermined cycle; a first holding circuit that holds the time code output from the time code generator when the auto-zero signal is output; a second holding circuit that holds the time code output from the time code generator when the detection signal is output; and a transfer section that transfers the time code held in the first holding circuit and the time code held in the second holding circuit to the signal processing section in association with each other.
