Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device including an image sensor including a lens, a pixel array configured to convert light collected through the lens into an electric signal and to output the electric signal, a readout circuit configured to convert electric signals sequentially received for each row of the pixel array into pixel data and to output the pixel data, a memory, and a controller configured to control the pixel array, the readout circuit and the memory, and a processor electrically connected to the image sensor. The controller is configured to generate a frame by integrating the pixel data sequentially received from the readout circuit, generate a profile regarding flickering of the collected light using the generated frame and another frame generated prior to the generated frame, and store the generated profile in the memory, obtain a profile set including profiles corresponding to a plurality of frames from the memory, and transfer the generated frame and the obtained profile set to the processor.
