This imaging device is provided with: an optical lens system having a lens and an aperture stop; an image sensor (N), upon which light that has passed through the optical lens system is incident; an array optical element (K), which is positioned between the optical lens system and the image sensor (N), and has a plurality of optical elements (M1), which extend in a row direction in a plane that is vertical to the optical axis of the optical lens system, and are arranged in a column direction in said plane. The image sensor (N) contains a plurality of pixel groups (Pg1 to Pg3) having a plurality of first pixels (P1) arranged in the row direction, and a plurality of second pixels (P2) arranged in the row direction, at a position adjacent to the plurality of first pixels (P1) in the column direction. The plurality of pixel groups (Pg1 to Pg3) are arranged in the column direction, and boundary positions between the plurality of optical elements (M1) are each offset, in the column direction, relative to the corresponding boundary position between the plurality of pixel groups (Pg1 to Pg3).
