Abstract
A method and an apparatus are provided in which an image sensor, operatively coupled with an electronic device, is operated in a first state based on a determination that the image sensor is to be operated in a low power mode. When the image sensor is operating in the first state, a setup value corresponding to a photographing mode is preserved, and the image sensor is refrained from outputting a stream of data.
