The present disclosure relates to a solid-state imaging element, a method for operating a solid-state imaging element, an imaging device, and an electronic device which make it possible to achieve a low-resolution image with low power consumption without deteriorating imaging characteristics of all pixels. A floating wire that connects floating diffusions (FDs) each set for each shared pixel comprising at least one or more pixels in every predetermined number of rows, and a switch for switching between connection and non-connection of the FD and the floating wire. Switching between connectionand non-connection of the FD and the floating wire is performed by the switch according to a low-resolution resolution. The present disclosure is applicable to a solid-state imaging element. 本发明涉及可以在不会使所有像素的摄像特性劣化的情况下以低功耗实现低分辨率图像的固体摄像器件、固体摄像器件操作方法、摄像装置和电子装置。浮动线连接分别针对各共用像素的设置在具有预定行数的各行中的浮动扩散(FD)，共用像素包括至少个或多个像素，开关在FD和浮动线的连接与断开之间切换。根据分辨率，即低分辨率，通过开关执行FD和浮动线的连接与断开之间的切换。本发明适用于固体摄像器件。
