An image sensor system includes an image sensor and a prediction part. The image sensor includes an illumination module and a processing part. The illumination module includes a light emitting part for emitting light and a nonvolatile memory. The processing part stores a first data and a second data in the memory. The first data includes an electric parameter value when the light emitting part is applied with a power and a cumulative power-on time obtained by accumulating a time when the light emitting part is applied with the power. The second data includes a value obtained by multiplying the electric parameter value when the light emitting part is applied with the power by the cumulative power-on time. The prediction part obtains the first data or the second data from the memory and predicts a lifetime of the light emitting part based on the first data or the second data.
