contents In the Kerr-Sen black hole, this study investigates the changes in hotspot images before and after the occurrence of magnetic reconnection. After reviewing the Comisso-Asenjo magnetic reconnection process and introducing the hotspot imaging method, we examine the temporal evolution of hotspot intensity, including when energy extraction occurs, when it does not occur, and when the observer's azimuthal angle is altered. We also discuss the influence of the black hole's expansion parameter and spin on hotspot imaging. The results indicate that the first flare may serve as a potential signature of ongoing energy extraction: changing the observer's azimuthal angle may alter the time interval between the first and second flares: a larger expansion parameter makes it more difficult to identify the energy extraction signal, and a higher spin also makes it more challenging to detect the energy extraction signal.
