Claim 10:
11. An electronic device, comprising:
a light receiving unit that includes
a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arranged in a lattice-pattern array, and
a plurality of lenses provided for respective sets of elements on a one-to-one basis, each set of elements including two or more of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arranged adjacent to each other; and
a plurality of pixel blocks each having n×n photoelectric conversion elements receiving light having a same wavelength band, among the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, and arranged in a lattice-pattern array;

an optical unit that guides external light to the light receiving unit;
an image processing unit that generates image data by executing image processing on the basis of a plurality of outputs read out from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, respectively; and
a storage unit that stores the image data generated by the image processing unit,
wherein, in the light receiving unit,—among a plurality of pixel sets each including the set of elements and one of the plurality of lenses provided in the set of elements, at least two pixel sets adjacent to each other are different from each other in pupil correction amount,
wherein the plurality of pixel blocks are arranged according to a pattern in which pixel blocks having photoelectric conversion elements receiving light having the same wavelength band are not adjacent to each other, and
wherein at least one of the plurality of pixel blocks includes two of the pixel sets that are different from each other in the pupil correction amount,
wherein the n is an integer of 3 or more, and, wherein at least one of the plurality of pixel blocks includes three or more of the pixel sets that are different from each other in the pupil correction amount.
