An electronic device includes: a plurality of image sensors including a first image sensor and a second image sensor; a processor; a display connected to the processor; and memory storing instructions being executable by the processor, which cause the electronic device to at least: execute a camera application; activate all of the plurality of image sensors, based on at least one of a specified event executed through the camera application, determine a first image sensor among the plurality of image sensors as an image sensor outputting image data to be displayed on the display, set a resolution of first image data acquired through the first image sensor as a first resolution, and in response to the determination, set a resolution of second image data acquired through a second image sensor among the plurality of image sensors as a second resolution lower than the first resolution.

Image capturing method using plurality of cameras, and electronic device therefor

At least one processor of an electronic device is configured to: activate a first image sensor and a second image sensor; obtain first image data by means of the first image sensor; obtain second image data by means of the second image sensor; and determine to output a preview image on the basis of the first image data among the first image data and the second image data on a display. In response to the determination to output the preview image, the at least one processor is configured to: set the resolution of the first image data as a first resolution; and set the resolution of the second image data as a second resolution which is lower than the first resolution.

Image capturing method using plurality of cameras, and electronic device

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus and a method for controlling a plurality of cameras in an electronic device. Herein, the electronic device comprises: a first camera; a second camera set to have an angle of view included in an angle of view of the first camera; a display; and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to display, on the display, a first image acquired through the first camera of the plurality of cameras; detect information corresponding to the second camera from the first image; activate the second camera, when it is determined to activate the second camera on the basis of the information corresponding to the second camera; and display, on the display, at least one image corresponding to activation of the first camera and the second camera. Other embodiments are also possible.

Method for controlling camera and electronic device therefor

A method and electronic device reproducing a multiple shutter sound that reproduces a same shutter sound or a series of different shutter sounds during the period where an image is being processed by transmitting two or more interrupts to a controller by an image signal processor and an electronic device thereof. The repetitive shutter sounds can indicate to a user that the image is still being processed, so that the user does not move the camera and affect the capture of the image. The method of reproducing a multiple shutter sound includes: receiving a command for shooting a photograph; processing an image in response to the command; and transmitting at least two interrupt to a controller such that the shutter sound is reproduced at least twice while processing the image.
