The present technology relates to an image sensor, an imaging method, and an electronic apparatus that are capable of improving the image quality. It includes a plurality of signal lines for reading signals from pixels including a photoelectric conversion element, each of the plurality of signal lines being provided for one column of pixels, and a fixing unit configured to fix the potential of the plurality of signal lines to a predetermined potential, is started. The fixing unit fixes the potential of the plurality of signal lines before an operation of resetting the pixel. It is possible to fix the potential of the signal line to a predetermined potential before reading of the signal from the pixel, and to prevent the image quality from degrading due to the discrepancy in the potential when reading is started.
