A digital photographing apparatus for performing an Auto Focusing (AF) function and a method for controlling thereof, the method including: measuring vibration degrees of the digital photographing apparatus; determining based on the measured vibration degrees whether a time is right before an AF operation is performed; if the time is right before the AF operation is performed, performing a preceding AF operation of determining a moving direction of a focus lens by moving the focus lens; and if a first shutter release button is pressed, performing a subsequent AF operation of moving the focus lens in the determined moving direction. Accordingly, an AF operation time (from after a user pushes a shutter) may be reduced by decreasing a moving distance of a focus lens and the number of direction changes by recognizing a behavior pattern of the user through vibration transition measured by a vibration detection sensor.

Digital photographing apparatus and method for controlling thereof

A digital photographing apparatus and method of using the digital photographing apparatus that can manually set a white balance gain. The digital photographing apparatus including a light-emitting device configured to emit light of a plurality of colors; a light-emitting device control unit configured to control light emission of the light-emitting device; an imaging device configured to capture light incident to a subject to generate a plurality of image signals; and a gain setting unit configured to set a white balance gain by using the generated image signals.
