7. A method for operation of an electronic device, the method comprising:

executing an application using a camera in a first mode;

controlling a display to display a first preview image corresponding to the first mode;

obtaining a first user input changing the first mode to a second mode;

in response to obtaining the first user input, capturing the first preview image at a point in time at which the first user input is received and displaying the captured first preview image and an indicator corresponding to the second mode on the captured first preview image during a resetting of the camera to the second mode;

identifying whether the resetting of the camera to the second mode is completed;

maintaining the displaying the captured first preview image and the indicator corresponding to the second mode on the captured first preview image on the display, until at least one processor identifies that the resetting of the camera to the second mode is completed;

after the resetting of the camera to the second mode, controlling the display to display a second preview image corresponding to the second mode, wherein a size of the second preview image is equal to a size of the indicator; and

storing at least a part of the second preview image in a memory based on a second user input.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the indicator is generated using indicator information generated based on a difference between property of the first mode and a property of the second mode.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the storing comprises:

storing at least a part of the first preview image in the memory based on an additional first user input.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the storing comprises:

obtaining a still image based on the second preview image of the second mode, if the first mode is a video mode; and

obtaining a video based on the second preview image of the second mode, if the first mode is a still mode.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the indicator displayed on the display corresponds at least to a view angle, a size, a ratio, an editing area, or a combination thereof, which is a property of the first mode and a property of the second mode.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the displaying the indicator comprises:

displaying, on the display, the first preview image using at least a first camera included in the camera, based on an input corresponding to the first mode.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein the displaying the indicator comprises:

displaying, on the display, the second preview image using at least a second camera included in the camera, based on an input corresponding to the second mode.

14. An electronic device comprising:

a camera;

a display;

a memory; and

at least one processor,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

execute an application using the camera in a first mode in response to a camera shooting event;

control the display to display a first preview image using first area information based on the first mode;

receive an input corresponding to a second mode;

in response to the input:

capture the first preview image at a point in time at which the input is received;

control the display to display the captured first preview image and an indicator corresponding to the second mode on the captured first preview image during a resetting of the camera to the second mode;

identify whether the resetting of the camera to the second mode is completed; and

maintain displaying the captured first preview image and the indicator corresponding to the second mode on the captured first preview image on the display, until the at least one processor identifies that the resetting of the camera to the second mode is completed; and

after the resetting of the camera to the second mode, control the display to display a second preview image using second area information corresponding to the second mode, wherein a size of the second preview image is equal to a size of the indicator.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

generate third area information based on a difference between the first area information and the second area information; and

control the display to display the second preview image further using the third area information.

16. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the input includes a first input and a second input, and

the at least one processor is further configured to:

control the display to display the second preview image using the second area information in response to the first input, and

obtain at least a part of the second preview image in the second mode in response to the second input.

17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the first input includes at least one of a press on a hardware button, a touch (touch-down) on a software button, a force touch (force touch-down), a gesture input, a voice input, and a macro instruction, and

the second input includes at least one a release of selection of a hardware button or a software button, which is successively generated by the first input, a force touch (force touch-down), a force touch release, a touch movement, a gesture input, a voice input, and a macro instruction.
