1. An imager, comprising: a pixel array including a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns; a color filter array (CFA) including a color pattern of a first color filter allowing a first pixel to detect a first color of light, and a second color filter allowing a second pixel to detect a second color of light and a third color of light, wherein each of the color filters in the color pattern are included in each row of the pixel array; and a controller configured to generate an extended dynamic range image by combining short exposure data from pixels in a first row of the pixel array, interpolated data based on the short exposure data from the pixels in the first row of the pixel array, long exposure data from pixels in an adjacent second row of the pixel array, and interpolated data based on the long exposure data from the pixels in the adjacent second row of the pixel array.
