Claim:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: an image sensor including a plurality of image pixels and a plurality of focal point detection pixels; an auto-focus (AF) detection unit that detects an AF value based on a first focal point detection signal output from a first focal point detection pixel from the plurality of focal point detection pixels and a second focal point detection signal output from a virtual second focal point detection pixel corresponding to the first focal point detection pixel, wherein the plurality of focal point detection pixels comprise a plurality of horizontal focal point detection pixels and a plurality of vertical focal point detection pixels, wherein the plurality of image pixels and the plurality of focal point detection pixels are repeatedly arranged in the image sensor; and a control unit that generates image data based on an image signal output from the plurality of image pixels and the AF value detected by the AF detection unit, wherein a horizontal first focal point detection pixel and a vertical first focal point detection pixel are arranged in a first area of the image sensor, and a vertical second focal point detection pixel corresponding to the horizontal first focal point detection pixel and the vertical first focal point detection pixel is included in a second area adjacent to the first area in a horizontal direction.
