Claim 0:
1. A camera module comprising:
a light-emitting unit that includes a plurality of light-emitting areas and outputs an optical signal by driving at least one of the plurality of light-emitting areas according to a first control signal;
a light-receiving unit configured to receive the optical signal;
a sensor unit that includes a plurality of light-receiving areas corresponding to the plurality of light-emitting areas, respectively, and generates an image signal based on the received optical signal by driving at least one of the plurality of light-receiving areas according to a second control signal;
a control unit that generates at least one of the first control signal and the second control signal based on the image signal and controls at least one of the light-emitting unit and the sensor unit based on at least one of the first control signal and the second control signal; and
an image processing unit configured to generate an image based on the image signal,
wherein the control unit is configured to generate at least one of the first control signal and the second control signal for a second sequence based on the image generated by the image processing unit in a first sequence, and
wherein the first sequence is a sequence for light saturation area detection, and the second sequence is a sequence for photographing an object according to a result of the first sequence.
