Abstract:
1. An image sensor, comprising: a plurality of imaging pixels, each constituted with a first micro-lens and a first photoelectric conversion element that receives, via the first micro-lens, an image-capturing light flux transmitted through a photographic optical system and executes photoelectric conversion on the received image-capturing light flux at a photoelectric conversion area in the first photoelectric conversion element; and a plurality of focus detection pixels disposed within a two-dimensional array of the plurality of imaging pixels, and made up with a plurality of first focus detection pixels each of which receives one light flux in a pair of focus detection light fluxes transmitted through the photographic optical system and a plurality of second focus detection pixels each of which receives the other light flux in the pair of focus detection light fluxes, the plurality of focus detection pixels each being constituted with a second micro-lens and a second photoelectric conversion element, wherein:
