Imaging elements and imaging devices are disclosed. In one example, a potential of a charge retaining unit that retains a charge generated by photoelectric conversion is adjusted. An imaging element includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a charge retaining unit, a charge transfer unit, a reset unit, an image signal generating unit that generates an image signal, capacitive coupling wiring, and a potential adjustment unit. The capacitive coupling wiring is different from wiring that transmits control signals of the charge transfer unit, the reset unit, and the image signal generating unit and wiring that transmits a generated image signal and is capacitively coupled to the charge retaining unit. The potential adjustment unit applies an adjustment signal for adjusting the potential of the charge retaining unit via the capacitive coupling wiring.
