An electronic device according to an embodiment may include a display; a first camera and a second camera mounted at different positions with respect to a screen of the display; a sensor; and a processor operatively connected to the sensor, the plurality of cameras, and the display, wherein the processor may be configured to acquire state information according to a change in state of the display based on a detection signal of the sensor, to control the first camera and the second camera to acquire a first image from the first camera in real time and a second image from the second camera in real time, to generate a third image by synthesizing the first image and the second image based on the state information, and to display at least a portion of the third image as a preview image on the display in real time.

Method of providing preview image and electronic device therefor

An embodiment of the disclosure relates to a foldable electronic device including a plurality of cameras, providing a preview image of a camera in response to folding or unfolding of the device and an operating method thereof. A foldable electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include: a plurality of cameras, at least one display, at least one processor operatively connected with the plurality of the cameras and the at least one display, and at least one memory operatively connected with the at least one processor, and the at least one memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: while a first preview image corresponding to a first camera among the plurality of the cameras is displayed on the at least one display, select at least one other camera, based on an analysis result of at least one object included in the first preview image, in response to detecting folding or unfolding of the electronic device, display a second preview image corresponding to the selected at least one other camera, and obtain a captured image based on the displayed second preview image.

Electronic device for providing camera preview image and operating method thereof

A foldable electronic device may include: a foldable housing foldable along at least one axis; a first display disposed on a first surface of the foldable housing; a second display disposed on a second surface of the foldable housing; a first camera; a second camera; at least one sensor; a memory; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: provide a first preview to the first display by using the first camera in a folded state; receive a region configuration input for the first preview through the first display; after the reception of the region configuration input, sense unfolding of the foldable electronic device by using the at least one sensor; and provide a second preview corresponding to the region configuration input through the second display by using the second camera in an unfolded state. In addition, various other embodiments can be understood through the specification.
