Abstract
To divide an image capture region into multiple regions for which different image capture conditions are set and to generate multiple moving images corresponding to the multiple regions. An electronic apparatus includes an image sensor that captures first and second moving images in first and second regions of an image capture region on different image capture conditions, the second region differing from the first region, and a moving image generation unit that generates the first and second moving images captured in the first and second regions.
Claims28
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- an imaging sensor including a plurality of first pixels and a plurality of second pixels, the first pixels each including a first photoelectric converter configured to convert light to a charge and a first circuit unit connected to the first photoelectric converter, the second pixels each including a second photoelectric converter configured to convert light to a charge and a second circuit unit connected to the second photoelectric converter;
- and
- a generation unit configured to generate first moving image data on the basis of first signals outputted from the first pixels and generate second moving image data on the basis of second signals outputted from the second pixels, wherein
- in the imaging sensor, a plurality of the first photoelectric converters are arranged in a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction in a first region where light enters, and a plurality of the second photoelectric converters are arranged in the first direction and the second direction in a second region where light enters, and
- the imaging sensor includes first control lines to which a first control signal is outputted and second control lines different from the first control lines to which a second control signal is outputted, the first control signal being used to control the first circuit unit in each of the plurality of the first photoelectric converters arranged in the first direction and the second direction in the first region, the second control signal being used to control the second circuit unit in each of the plurality of the second photoelectric converters arranged in the first direction and the second direction in the second region.
