1. An imaging element comprising:
a processor that is configured to read out, at a first frame rate, image data of each frame obtained by imaging a subject, process the image data, and output the processed image data at a second frame rate; and
a memory that stores the image data read out by the processor,
wherein the first frame rate is a frame rate higher than the second frame rate,
the processor is configured to read out the image data of a plurality of frames in parallel within an output period that is defined by the second frame rate as a period in which the image data of one frame is output,
the memory stores, in parallel, the image data read out in parallel by the processor, and
the processor is configured to perform generation processing of generating output image data of one frame using the image data of the plurality of frames stored in the memory and output the output image data generated by the generation processing at the second frame rate.
