1. An image acquisition apparatus comprising:
a first image sensor configured to obtain a first image based on detection of a light of a first wavelength band;
a second image sensor configured to obtain a second image based on detection of a light of a second wavelength band that is wider than the first wavelength band; and
a processor configured to obtain a third image having a spatial resolution corresponding to the first image and a color gamut corresponding to the second image, based on the first image and the second image, by determining whether color conversion is required for each of a plurality of areas of the first image, based on the second image that is obtained using the second wavelength band wider than the first wavelength band, and by performing color conversion only for an area of the first image, wherein the color gamut indicated by the second image for the area is outside a range of the color gamut indicated by the first image.
