An imaging device that can obtain imaging data corresponding to high-resolution images in a short period of time is provided. The imaging device includes a pixel including a photoelectric conversion element and n (n is an integer more than 2 inclusive) retention circuits. The photoelectric conversion element and the n retention circuits are stacked. One electrode of the photoelectric conversion element is electrically connected to the first to n-th retention circuits. The retention circuits include OS transistors with an extremely low off-state current feature, and can retain imaging data for a long time. In the first to n-th periods, the imaging device obtains the first to n-th imaging data and retains it in the first to n-th retention circuits. Then, the first to n-th imaging data retained in the first to n-th retention circuits are read out. The read imaging data is output outside the imaging data through AD conversion.
