The present application provides a control method and device, electronic equipment, and a computer readable storage medium. The method is applied to an imaging device, the imaging device comprises a pixel unit array composed of a plurality of exposure pixels, each exposure pixel is a short exposure pixel, a medium exposure pixel or a long exposure pixel, and the method comprises: determining a brightness level of environmental brightness; adjusting the arrangement positions of the short exposure pixels, the medium exposure pixels and/or the long exposure pixels in the pixel unit array if the brightness level of the shooting environment belongs to a high brightness level or a low brightness level, so that at least two medium exposure pixels are arranged adjacent to each other, and the at least two medium exposure pixels arranged adjacent to each other are used as a first pixel unit; and imaging according to the output pixel values of the at least two medium exposure pixels in the firstpixel unit. The method can retain more effective information in the shot image and improve the brightness of the shot image, thereby improving the imaging effect and the imaging quality.
