Abstract
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.
