Abstract
An example sensor for image capturing may include a pixel array including a plurality of pixels; a read-out circuit configured to receive an analog electrical signal output from each of the plurality of pixels, convert the analog electrical signal into a digital electrical signal, and output the digital electrical signal; and a memory temporarily storing the digital electrical signal output from the read-out circuit and outputting at least part of the temporarily stored digital electrical signal to an external circuit.
