Abstract
Provided is an image processing method for an electronic device having a camera module. The image processing method may include: acquiring a first image with a first exposure time by using a first pixel group; acquiring a second image with a second exposure time shorter than the first exposure time by using a second pixel group; determining whether the difference between the first exposure time and the second exposure time is greater than or equal to a preset threshold; acquiring, if the difference between the first exposure time and the second exposure time is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, a third image with a third exposure time by using the second pixel group; and generating a high dynamic range (HDR) image by combining the first to third images.
