An electronic device including a motion sensor and motion correction circuitry. The motion sensor detects motion of the electronic device and outputs motion information based on the detected motion. The motion correction circuitry corrects raw domain image data, received from an image sensor that has a block-based analog-to-digital converter architecture, based on the motion information. The corrected image data is output in a same raw domain image data format as the uncorrected raw domain image data.
