Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an image sensor and a camera and an electronic apparatus including the same. An image sensor according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a first light amount detection pixel to detect a first light amount of a first area, a first sensor pixel to output pixel data by converting light of the first area into an electric signal, a second light amount detection pixel to detect a second light amount of a second area, and a second sensor pixel to output pixel data by converting light of the second area into an electric signal, wherein a dynamic range of the first sensor pixel is different from a dynamic range of the second sensor pixel. Accordingly, a high dynamic range may be implemented within one frame.
