Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses an image sensor, an imaging method, an imaging device and an electronic device. The image sensor includes an array of photosensitive units, an array of filter units and an array of micro lenses, in which the array of photosensitive units includes focusing photosensitive units and non-focusing photosensitive units. With the image sensor, when a current ambient luminous intensity is smaller than a preset intensity, the image sensor generates an image with the first output mode, and when the current ambient luminous intensity is greater than the preset intensity, the image sensor generates an image with the second output mode. In addition, when the image sensor is used to focus, phase focusing may be performed according to output values of two parts of photosensitive pixels.

Claim (Index 1):
An imaging method, wherein an image sensor for imaging comprises an array of photosensitive units, an array of filter units arranged on the array of photosensitive units, and an array of micro lenses arranged on the array of filter units, the array of photosensitive units comprises focusing photosensitive units and non-focusing photosensitive units, the image sensor has a first output mode and a second output mode, the method comprises:\n detecting a current ambient luminous intensity; when the current ambient luminous intensity is smaller than a preset intensity, controlling the image sensor to enter the first output mode; under the first output mode, controlling the array of photosensitive units to enter a focusing mode; obtaining output values of a part of photosensitive pixels in each focusing photosensitive unit as first output values; obtaining output values of another part of photosensitive pixels in each focusing photosensitive unit as second output values; performing focusing control according to the first output values and the second output values; under the first output mode, controlling the array of photosensitive units to enter an imaging mode; and controlling the array of photosensitive units to expose to generate an image under the first output mode.
