1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
an imaging element that includes column signal lines which are for reading out signals and extend signals and extend in a first direction and a plurality of phase difference pixels which are arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction,
wherein the imaging element has a first phase difference pixel region and a second phase difference pixel region each including the plurality of phase difference pixels, and an imaging pixel region between the first phase difference pixel region and the second phase difference pixel region in the first direction,
the processor is configured to
cause the imaging element to perform imaging at a frame cycle,
execute first readout processing of reading out a signal from the first phase difference pixel region during a first frame period, and
execute second readout processing of reading out a signal from the second phase difference pixel region during a second frame period subsequent to the first frame period, and
a first exposure time, during which the first phase difference pixel region is exposed, and a second exposure time, during which the second phase difference pixel region is exposed, are different from an exposure time of the imaging pixel region.
