An electronic device according to an embodiment disclosed herein comprises: a camera; a sensor configured to sense the distance between the electronic device and an object; a display; a light-emitting module comprising circuitry configured to generate a flash corresponding to a first light emission and/or a second light emission when capturing an image using the camera; and at least one processor electrically connected to the camera, the sensor, the light-emitting module, and the display. The at least one processor is configured to: control the display to display an image obtained by driving the camera as a preview image on the display; determine a main object included in the preview image; execute a first mode based on the distance between the main object and the electronic device as sensed through the sensor being less than a threshold value, the first mode being a mode for image capture using the first light emission; and executing a second mode based on the distance between the main object and the electronic device as sensed through the sensor being equal to or greater than the threshold value, the second mode being a mode for image capture using the first light emission and the second light emission occurring subsequent to the first light emission.

Image capturing method and electronic device for capturing images using different light emissions

Various embodiments of the present invention comprise: a first image sensor for acquiring a first image of an external object; a second image sensor for acquiring a second image of the external object; and a processor, wherein the processor is set so as to: acquire, through the first image sensor, the first image by using a first setting related to an exposure for the external object; acquire, through the second image sensor, the second image by using a second setting related to the exposure, during the operation of acquiring the first image; select one corresponding setting from among the first setting and the second setting on the basis of at least the first image or the second image; and acquire, through the first image sensor or the second image sensor, a third image of the external object on the basis of at least the one corresponding setting, thereby enabling an entry time of a dual camera mounted on a rear surface of an electronic device to be reduced. Other various embodiments are possible in addition to the embodiments disclosed in the present invention.
