An image sensor comprises a 4-cell DPD pixel array having a first group of pixels, a second group of pixels, a third group of pixels, and a fourth group of pixels. The first group of pixels comprises a first pixel, a second pixel, a third pixel, and a fourth pixel. The first pixel comprises a first photodiode, a second photodiode, a third photodiode, and a fourth photodiode. The four photodiodes are covered by a microlens. The first photodiode is diagonally binned with the fourth photodiode, and the second photodiode is counter-diagonally-binned with the third photodiode.
