Abstract: An imaging apparatus is provided, which includes an image sensor which includes a plurality of image pixels and a plurality of sensing pixels, and is configured to capture images through collection of light that is incident through a lens and the plurality of phase sensing pixels; and a processor configured to divide a region of interest of the image sensor into a plurality of sub-regions of interest, calculate disparity information of objects that correspond to the plurality of sub-regions of interest using at least one of the plurality of phase sensing pixels included in the plurality of sub-regions of interest, and determine a focal region in the region of interest on the basis of the disparity information. Accordingly, user convenience is increased.

Abstract: A photographing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a first buffer configured to store a plurality of images generated by a first camera module among a plurality of camera modules, a second buffer configured to store a plurality of images generated by a second camera module among the plurality of camera modules, a display configured to display an image generated by the first camera module as a live image, and a controller configured to analyze the images stored in the first buffer and the second buffer using at least one of image information of each image stored in the first buffer and the second buffer and photographing information of the plurality of camera modules, and in response to an event occurring in at least one of the plurality of images stored in the second buffer, to control the display to provide a state notification service on the second camera module. When a foreign substance appears on at least one of the plurality of camera modules, the photographing apparatus may notify a user of the state more intuitionally.
