Provided is an image pickup element capable of preventing the occurrence of variations in image signals from pixels comprising filters of the same color arranged on light receiving surfaces. The image pickup element is provided with a timing generation unit 25 that causes a switching unit 245 to switch, on the basis of the type of filter arranged on the light receiving surfaces of photoelectric conversion elements from which image pickup signals have been output, a transfer destination of the image pickup signals transferred from a first horizontal transfer line 259 and a third horizontal transfer line 261 to either a first output amplifier unit 311 or a second output amplifier unit 312, and that controls a vertical scanning unit 241 so that, in a case in which image pickup signals from one row of unit pixels 230 are output to a plurality of sample-and-hold units from a plurality of pixel units G1 and G2, the image pickup signals are divided into a predetermined number of groups which are output separately during one horizontal scanning period, and so that, in each output group, the image pickup signals are output from photoelectric conversion elements in which mutually different types of filters are arranged on the light receiving surfaces.Linvention concerne un élément de capture dimage apte à empêcher lapparition de variations dans des signaux dimage à partir des pixels comprenant des filtres de la même couleur qui sont placés sur des surfaces de réception de lumière. Lélément de capture dimage comprend une unité de génération de synchronisation 25 qui amène une unité de commutation 245 à commuter, sur la base du type de filtres placés sur les surfaces de réception de lumière déléments de conversion photoélectrique à partir desquels des signaux de capture dimage ont été émis, une destination de transfert des signaux de capture dimage transférés à partir dune première ligne de transfert horizontal 259 et dune troisième ligne de transfert horizontal 261 à une premi
