Abstract
The present technology relates to a light receiving device, a control method, and an electronic apparatus capable of suppressing saturation of a sensor that receives light. A control unit performs exposure control to control, in accordance with a photometry result of a photometry sensor that performs photometry by receiving light, exposure of another sensor of which a light receiving surface that receives light is divided into a plurality of blocks, the exposure control being performed for each block. The present technology can be applied, for example, an electronic apparatus such as a digital camera that receives light.
