An imaging device including a miniaturized pixel is provided. A pixel is provided with a photoelectric conversion element, a first transistor, a second transistor, and a capacitor. One electrode of the photoelectric conversion element is electrically connected to one of a source and a drain of the first transistor. The other of the source and the drain of the first transistor is electrically connected to a gate of the second transistor. The gate of the second transistor is electrically connected to one electrode of the capacitor. In a first period, a first potential is supplied to the other electrode of the capacitor and the first transistor is set in an on state so that imaging data corresponding to illuminance of light delivered to the photoelectric conversion element is written to the pixel. Furthermore, in a second period, a second potential is supplied to the other electrode of the capacitor so that the imaging data is read from the pixel.
