Claim:
1. A method comprising: exposing substantially half of first lines of pixels of a sensor and substantially half of different second lines of pixels of the sensor when a flash occurs; reading out the first lines of pixels of the sensor, where the first lines are read out in a sequence of the first lines in a first direction along the sensor; reading out the different second lines of the pixels of the sensor, where the second lines are read out in a sequence of the second lines in a different second direction along the sensor; and interleaving the read outs from the first lines and the second lines, where the interleaving of the read outs from the first and second lines of pixels comprises interleaving the readouts together such that adjacent lines of pixels are alternately exposed during the flash and exposed without flash forming a single new image partially exposed to flash and partially not exposed to flash.
