1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a touch screen comprising a first display area disposed at a front of a terminal body and a second display area disposed at a side of the terminal body;
a camera; and
a controller configured to:
display a preview image of an image to be photographed by the camera on the first display area,
when the entire terminal body is rotated from a first position to a second position in which the preview image is displayed on the first display area except the second display area, fit the preview image to a screen mode corresponding to the second position, display the fitted preview image on the first display area, and display, on the second display area, a first menu related to the preview image displayed on the first display area,
display a second menu on the second display area in response to a first input on the touch screen, and
select an item from the first menu in response to a second input on the touch screen.
2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the touch screen is a flexible touch screen.
3. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first input is a gesture input of dragging the first display area of the touch screen in a first direction.
4. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first position is a vertical position such that a longitudinal direction of the terminal body is perpendicular to a ground and the second position is a horizontal position such that the longitudinal direction of the terminal body is parallel to the ground.
5. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, in response to the terminal body being rotated from the second position to the first position, the controller is configured to detect a user's grip area from the second display area of the touch screen.
6. The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein, in response to the terminal body being rotated from the second position to the first position, the controller is configured to automatically display the first menu on an area other than the detected grip area.
7. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, in response to the terminal body being rotated from the second position to the first position, the controller is configured to disable a touch sensor provided at the second display area.
8. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first menu is an option setting menu related to a photographing function.
9. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the first input is a drag input in a first direction and the second input is a drag input in a second direction.
10. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second input is a drag input to display items in a menu and stopping the drag input to select the displayed item.
11. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
displaying an preview image of an image to be photographed by a camera on a first display area of a touch screen disposed at a front of a terminal body;
when the terminal body is rotated from a first position to a second position in which the preview image is displayed on the first display area except a second display area, fitting the preview image to a screen mode corresponding to the second position, displaying the fitted preview image on the first display area, and displaying, on the second display area of the touch screen disposed at a side of the terminal body, a first menu related to the preview image displayed on the first display area;
displaying a second menu on the second display area in response to a first input on the touch screen; and
selecting an item from the first menu in response to a second input on the touch screen.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the touch screen is a flexible touch screen.
13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first input is a gesture input of dragging the first display area of the touch screen in a first direction.
14. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first position is a vertical position such that a longitudinal direction of the terminal body is perpendicular to a ground and the second position is a horizontal position such that the longitudinal direction of the terminal body is parallel to the ground.
15. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
detecting a user's grip area from the second display area of the touch screen, in response to the terminal body being rotated from the second position to the first position.
16. The method according to claim 15 , further comprising:
automatically displaying the first menu on an area other than the detected grip area, in response to the terminal body being rotated from the second position to the first position.
17. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
disabling a touch sensor provided at the second display area, in response to the terminal body being rotated from the second position to the first position.
18. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first menu on the second display area is an option setting menu related to a photographing function.
19. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first input is a drag input in a first direction and the second input is a drag input in a second direction.
