Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an image sensor including at least one phase detection pixel, and a control unit operatively coupled to the image sensor. The control unit is configured to obtain image information and phase difference information about at least one subject through the image sensor, to identify a plurality of pieces of distance information corresponding to a plurality of regions associated with the image information, based on the phase difference information, and to process the image information, based on the distance information.
