Claim Text:
1. An image sensor in which a plurality of pixels are two-dimensionally arranged, comprising: a micro lens provided on a light-receiving side of each of the plurality of pixels; and a plurality of photoelectric conversion units provided in each of the plurality of pixels, and for receiving light collected by the micro lens, wherein the plurality of photoelectric conversion units are disposed such that central points thereof are eccentric relative to a central point of a single light-receiving surface combining light-receiving surfaces of the plurality of photoelectric conversion units, a focal position of the micro lens is positioned further on the micro lens side than the light-receiving surfaces of the plurality of photoelectric conversion units, and a distance from the focal position of the micro lens to the light-receiving surfaces of the plurality of photoelectric conversion units is greater than 0 and less than nFΔ, where n is a refractive index at the focal position of the micro lens, F is an aperture value of the micro lens, and Δ is a diffraction limit of the micro lens.
