1. An imaging element, comprising:
a pixel array including a plurality of pixels; and
a light-shielding portion provided between each of the plurality of pixels included in the pixel array,
wherein the light-shielding portion is formed to have a width of a portion narrowest between two pixels arranged adjacent to each other among the plurality of pixels such that the width is defined according to a difference in sensitivity between the two pixels.
