Abstract: An electronic device is provided and includes an image sensor including a first unit pixel including a first micro-lens and a plurality of first photodiodes facing each other with a first color filter interposed between the plurality of first photodiodes, and a second unit pixel including a second micro-lens and a plurality of second photodiodes facing each other with a second color filter interposed between the plurality of second photodiodes, a camera module including the image sensor, and a processor operatively connected with the image sensor. The first unit pixel includes a first photodiode, a second photodiode, a third photodiode, and a fourth photodiode, which are disposed in a square shape such that a horizontal number of photodiodes is identical to a vertical number of photodiodes. The second unit pixel includes a fifth photodiode, a sixth photodiode, a seventh photodiode, and an eighth photodiode, which are disposed in a square shape such that a horizontal number of photodiodes is identical to a vertical number of photodiodes. The image sensor identifies an operation setting and an external environmental condition of the camera module and, upon identifying that the operation setting is a preview mode and the external environmental condition is a high luminous environment, identifies a first area signal corresponding to a signal of the first photodiode and the second photodiode, which are concatenated with each other and included in the first unit pixel, and identifies a second area signal that corresponds to a signal of the fifth photodiode, included in the second unit pixel, corresponding to a location of the first photodiode and the sixth photodiode, included in the second unit pixel, corresponding to a location of the second photodiode, and forms first auto focus (AF) information based on the first area signal and the second area signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for synchronizing data by an electronic device. A first operation characteristic of a first image sensor of the electronic device and a second operation characteristic of a second image sensor of the electronic device are identified. At least one of a first access period of a first row of the first image sensor and a second access period of a second row of the second image sensor is changed, based on a difference between the first operation characteristic and the second operation characteristic, to synchronize the first access period and the second access period. The second row corresponds to the first row. Image data corresponding to the first row is acquired through the first image sensor based on the synchronized first access period. Image data corresponding to the second row is acquired through the second image sensor based on the synchronized second access period.
