1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
an image sensor;
a display;
a user interface unit;
a memory including at least one command; and
a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus being coupled to the image sensor and the memory,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
acquire an original image having a first bit number value for each pixel through the image sensor, the original image is acquired without using a plurality of images having different exposures,
based on the original image being acquired through the image sensor, control the display to display the acquired original image,
acquire a plurality of sub images having a second bit number value smaller than the first bit number value for each pixel based on the original image,
identify an amount of information on shapes of objects included in the plurality of sub images from each of the plurality of sub images,
based on a user command for selecting at least one area among a plurality of areas included in the displayed original image being input through the user interface unit, acquire a synthesized weight for each area with respect to two sub images among the plurality of sub images based on the identified amount of the information by assigning a higher synthesized weight to a sub image having a larger amount of information on the shapes of objects included in at least one area selected by a user, compared to other sub images from the plurality of sub images, and
acquire a synthesized image based on the synthesized weight for each of the acquired synthesized weight for each area.
