Abstract

An electronic device including a first camera configured to capture a first front image; a display module configured to display a preview screen of the first front image obtained by the first camera; and a controller configured to receive a focus input designating an object included in the preview screen is to be focused, receive an input for performing continuous shooting, and control the first camera to capture a plurality of images in different zoom levels while maintaining a focus on the designated object intact based on the received input for performing the continuous shooting.

Claims (38)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a first camera configured to capture a first image;

a second camera configured to capture a second image;

a touchscreen configured to display a first preview screen of the first image obtained by the first camera and a second preview screen of the second image obtained by the second camera; and

a controller configured to:

receive a focus input designating an object included in the first preview screen is to be focused,

receive an input for performing continuous capture;

control the first camera to capture a plurality of fits images in different zoom levels while maintaining a focus on the designated object intact based on the received input for performing the continuous capture,

control the second camera to capture at least one second image when the plurality of first images is captured by the first camera,

generate and store a group image including at least of the plurality of first images and the at least one second image, and

generate an icon of the group image having a form in which the at least two of the plurality of first images and the at least one second image are overlapped with each other.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the second camera to capture at least one image of a photographer when the plurality of first images is captured by the first camera,

group and store at least two of the plurality of first images and the at least one photographer image, and

perform a setting so that the at least two first images and the at least one photographer image are displayed in order of photographing.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the second camera to capture a plurality of images of a face of the photographer when the plurality of images of the photographer is captured by the first camera,

group and store the at least two images and at least two of the plurality of photographer images, and

perform a setting so that the at least two images and the at least two photographer images are displayed in order of photographing.

4. A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:

capturing, via a first camera of the mobile terminal, a first image;

capturing, via a second camera of the mobile terminal, a second image;

displaying, via a touchscreen of the mobile terminal, a first preview screen of the first image obtained by the first camera and a second preview screen of the second image obtained by the second camera;

receiving, via a controller of the mobile terminal, a focus input designating an object included in the first preview screen is to be focused;

receiving, via the controller, an input for performing continuous capture;

controlling, via the controller, the first camera to capture a plurality of first images in different zoom levels while maintaining a focus on the designated object intact based on the received input for performing the continuous capture;

controlling, via the controller, the second camera to capture at least one second image when the plurality of first images is captured by the first camera;

generating and storing a group image including at least two of the plurality of first images and the at least one second image; and

generating an icon of the group image having a form in which the at least two of the plurality of first images and the at least one second image are overlapped with each other.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

controlling a second camera on the mobile terminal to capture at least one image of a photographer when the plurality of first images is captured by the first camera;

grouping and storing at least two of the plurality of first images and the at one photographer image; and

performing a setting so that the at least two first images and the at least one photographer image are displayed in order of photographing.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

controlling the second camera to capture a plurality of images of a face of the photographer when the plurality of images of the photographer is captured by the first camera;

grouping and storing the at least two images and at least two of the plurality of photographer images; and

performing a setting so that the at least two images and the at least two photographer images are displayed in order of photographing.
