A resistivity imaging device and a method of operating the resistivity imaging device in a wellbore. The resistivity imaging device includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a circuit electrically coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode. An impedance is measured of a formation surrounding the wellbore. Based on the impedance, the circuit is configured into one of a first circuit configuration for operating the resistivity imaging device in a first mode and a second circuit configuration for operating the resistivity imaging device in a second mode. The resistivity imaging device is operated using the circuit in the one of the first circuit configuration and the second circuit configuration.
