Abstract

An electronic device is provided that includes an image sensor of first pixels receiving light for a first duration and second pixels receiving light for a shorter second duration, and a processor to acquire first and second raw data including first long pixel values through the first pixels and first short pixel values through the second pixels, second long pixel values through the first pixels and second short pixel values through the second pixels, and third raw data based on the first and second raw data. The third raw data includes third long pixel values and third short pixel values, and each of the third long pixel values is an average value of a first and a second long pixel value and each of the third short pixel values is a value obtained by gamma correcting a sum of a first and a second short pixel value.
