1. An imaging control device that controls an imaging element including a plurality of pixel rows in each of which a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit and a charge holding unit which holds charges transferred from the photoelectric conversion unit are arranged in one direction, the imaging control device comprising:
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
perform a first control of exposing the plurality of pixel rows and of transferring charges accumulated in the photoelectric conversion units of the plurality of pixel rows by the exposing to the charge holding units;
perform a second control of reading out a signal corresponding to the charges held in the charge holding units of a part of the pixel rows among the charge holding units in which the charges are held by the first control;
perform a third control of reading out a signal corresponding to the charges held in the charge holding units of the pixel rows other than the part of the pixel rows among the charge holding units in which the charges are held by the first control, and of exposing the part of the pixel rows from which the signal is read out by the second control; and
perform a fourth control of reading out a signal corresponding to the charges held in the charge holding units of the part of the pixel rows from which the signal is read out by the second control.
