  • Patent number: 11102418
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor for capturing an image and a method for controlling the same. An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises an image sensor and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to receive a signal for capturing a moving image and to acquire a first plurality of image frames according to a first frame rate through the image sensor in response to the signal, the first image frames comprising a first image frame and a second image frame corresponding to an external object. The acquiring operation comprises an operation of generating a first part of a moving image according to a second frame rate, which is lower than the first frame rate, using some image frames among the first plurality of image frames.

  • Patent number: 10491847
    Abstract: An example sensor for image capturing may include a pixel array including a plurality of pixels; a read-out circuit configured to receive an analog electrical signal output from each of the plurality of pixels, convert the analog electrical signal into a digital electrical signal, and output the digital electrical signal; and a memory temporarily storing the digital electrical signal output from the read-out circuit and outputting at least part of the temporarily stored digital electrical signal to an external circuit.

  • Patent number: 8308380
    Abstract: A lens barrel assembly that is attached to and detached from a camera includes: a lens barrel, which surrounds a lens and includes an inlet through which an external light enters; and an outlet through which light, which has passed through the lens, exits; a rotating unit, which is attached to the lens barrel such that the rotating unit rotates in a circumferential direction of the lens barrel; a shield plate, which has a first side rotatably connected to the rotating unit and a second side rotatably connected to the lens barrel and moves between a position of closing the outlet and a position of opening the outlet as the rotating unit rotates; and a driving unit, which contacts the camera when the lens barrel is attached to the camera, generates rotation force from friction force, and rotates the rotating unit.
