Mobile terminal having two cameras and method for storing images taken by two cameras
A mobile terminal includes a memory; a touch screen; a first camera having a first capturing angle; a second camera having a second capturing angle that is wider than the first capturing angle; and a controller. The controller is configured to: cause the touch screen to display a first preview image of the first camera, a second preview image of the second camera, or both the first and second preview images overlapping each other; cause the memory to store a first image taken by the first camera in response to a first capture command received while the first preview image is displayed; and cause the memory to store both the first image and a second image taken by the second camera when a wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied while at least one of the first preview image or the second preview image is displayed.
1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a memory;
a touch screen;
a first camera with a first capturing angle;
a second camera with a second capturing angle that is different from the first capturing angle; and
a controller configured to:
cause the touch screen to display a first preview image of the first camera, the first preview image comprising at least one or more subject;
determine a ratio of an area occupied by the at least one or more subject in the first preview image to an entire area of the first preview image;
cause the memory to store a first image taken by the first camera in response to a capture command to the touch screen received while the first preview image is displayed; and
cause the memory to store both the first image and a second image taken by the second camera in response to a capture command to the touch screen received when a wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied while the first preview image is displayed,
wherein the wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied when the ratio is greater than a prescribed value.
2. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a memory;
a touch screen;
a first camera with a first capturing angle;
a second camera with a second capturing angle that is different from the first capturing angle; and
a controller configured to:
cause the touch screen to display a first preview image of the first camera;
measure a distance between the mobile terminal and a subject to be captured via the first or second camera;
cause the memory to store a first image taken by the first camera in response to a capture command received while the first preview image is displayed; and
cause the memory to store both the first image and a second image taken by the second camera in response to a capture command received when a wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied while the first preview image is displayed,
wherein the wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied when the distance between the mobile terminal and the subject is greater than a prescribed distance.
3. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a memory;
a touch screen;
a first camera with a first capturing angle;
a second camera with a second capturing angle that is different from the first capturing angle; and
a controller configured to:
cause the touch screen to display a first preview image of the first camera, the first preview image comprising at least one or more subject;
determine a ratio of an area occupied by the at least one or more subject in the first preview image to an entire area of the first preview image; and
cause the touch screen to display a second preview image of the second camera instead of the first preview image when a wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied while the first preview image is displayed,
wherein the wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied when the ratio is greater than a prescribed value.
4. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a memory;
a touch screen;
a first camera with a first capturing angle;
a second camera with a second capturing angle that is different from the first capturing angle; and
a controller configured to:
cause the touch screen to display a first preview image of the first camera;
measure a distance between the mobile terminal and a subject to be captured via the first or second camera; and
cause the touch screen to display a second preview image of the second camera instead of the first preview image when a wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied while the first preview image is displayed,
wherein the wide-angle capturing condition is satisfied when the distance between the mobile terminal and the subject is greater than a prescribed distance.
