An apparatus and method for capturing a light field image. The light field image capture apparatus includes a mirror array or a micro-lens array. An activated mirror selected from among the multiple mirrors of the mirror array provides light to the multiple elements of an image sensor. An activated lens, selected from among the multiple lenses of the micro-lens array, provides light to the multiple elements of the image sensor. Based on timesharing, the mirror, selected as the activated mirror from among the multiple mirrors, is changed, and the lens, selected as the activated lens from among the multiple lenses, is changed.
