1. A camera apparatus, comprising:
a lens;
a driving member;
a photosensitive chip,
wherein the photosensitive chip is a Bayer array sensor, the photosensitive chip comprises a plurality of pixel areas distributed in columns and rows, and each pixel area comprises four pixel sub-areas; and
a first refractor and a second refractor each configured to deflect a propagation direction of light, and movable by the driving member,
wherein when the first refractor and the second refractor are located outside a path of light incident from the lens and received by the photosensitive chip, the light incident from the lens forms a first image through a first pixel sub-area of the photosensitive chip,
wherein when the first refractor is located on the path of the light and the second refractor is located outside the path of the light, and the light incident from the lens passes through the first refractor and forms a second image through a second pixel sub-area of the photosensitive chip,
wherein when the first refractor is located outside the path of the light and the second refractor is located inside the path of the light, the light incident from the lens passes through the second refractor and forms a third image through a third pixel sub-area of the photosensitive chip, and
wherein contents of the first image, the second image, and the third image are the same, and equivalent pixel sub-areas of the first pixel sub-area, the second pixel sub-area, and the third pixel sub-area in the same pixel area are any three pixel sub-areas in the pixel area.
