    Abstract: A mobile electronic device includes a first camera configured to capture a first image of a subject in a first field of view and including an RGB array, a second camera configured to capture a second image of the subject in a second field of view that is different from the first field of view and including an RGBW array; and an image processor configured to generate a target image using at least one of the first or second images in accordance with a selected mode of a plurality of modes. The plurality of modes includes still image modes and video modes associated with separate, respective combinations of output speed and bit depth such that the image processor is configured to control an output of the second camera to have a different combination of output speed and bit depth based on the selected mode.
