Abstract:
According to one aspect of the present invention, an image sensor and a sensor module have a configuration in which the image sensor outputs first brightness information representing brightness information of first image information obtained with a first exposure time and second brightness information representing brightness information of second image information obtained with a second exposure time separately from a composite image obtained by synthesizing the first image information and the second image information, updates the first and second exposure times based on an exposure time set value externally generated based on the first brightness information and the second brightness information, and changes a synthesis set value used for synthesis of the composite image based on the exposure time set value externally generated based on the first brightness information and the second brightness information.
