Abstract
An electronic device includes: an imaging unit including a region having a pixel group that has a plurality of first pixels, and second pixels that are fewer than the first pixels in the pixel group; and a control unit that reads out the signals based upon exposure of the second pixels during exposure of the plurality of first pixels.
Claims12
An imaging element comprising a plurality of image capture regions with an image capture condition being able to be set for each of the plurality of image capture regions, the imaging element comprising:
- a first image capture region and a second image capture region that capture an image of a subject;
- and
- first pixels, second pixels, third pixels and fourth pixels that generate signals that are to be used for determining a setting value for the image capture conditions of the first imaging region and the second imaging region, respectively.
An imaging element with an image capture condition being able to be set for each of image capture regions, comprising:
- a first image capture region that captures an image of a subject;
- a second image capture region that generates a signal that is to be used for determining a setting value for the image capture condition for the first image capture region;
- a third image capture region that captures an image of the subject;
- and
- a fourth image capture region that generates a signal that is to be used for determining a setting value for the image capture condition for the third image capture region.
