An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor having a plurality of light receivers that receive light, a detector to detect a monitoring voltage which corresponds to a difference between a dark voltage corresponding to dark current generated from at least one of the plurality of light receivers and a predetermined reset voltage, and a controller to reset the image sensor if the monitoring voltage detected by the detector becomes lower than a threshold voltage. Accordingly, the imaging apparatus can perform divided exposure promptly and accurately to minimize the problem occurring due to dark current.

Imaging apparatus and method of controlling the same

An electronic apparatus having a photographing function includes: a flash that emits light including a visible light wavelength range and an infrared wavelength range and radiates the light onto a subject; an infrared detector that absorbs light in the infrared wavelength range and generates a detection signal corresponding to the light; an image sensor that photoelectrically transforms incident light and generates an image signal; and a controller that controls an exposure time of the image sensor based on the detection signal.

Method of controlling exposure time by using infrared light, computer-readable storage medium having recorded thereon computer program codes for performing the method, and electronic apparatus having photographing function

An image sensor module includes a circuit board, an image sensor package and an optical system. The circuit board has an upper surface and a lower surface, the substrate having a window. The image sensor package includes a mounting substrate and an image sensor chip mounted on the mounting substrate, the image sensor package being adhered to the lower surface of the circuit board such that the image sensor chip is exposed through the window. The optical system is provided on the upper surface of the circuit board to guide light from an object to the image sensor chip.
