A mobile terminal including a camera having an image sensor; a memory; a display; and a controller configured to synthesize first image data generated by a first exposure and second image data generated by a second exposure, store a log image in the memory obtained by applying a log profile to the synthesized image data in a first mode, and display a first image on the display obtained by transforming the log image in a second mode. Further, the controller controls the first exposure and the second exposure based on first exposure information corresponding to an average brightness information and a maximum brightness information of the synthesized image data.

Mobile terminal

A mobile terminal including a main body; an image sensor provided in the main body; a driving unit coupled to the image sensor and configured to change the posture of the image sensor in at least one of roll, pitch, and yaw directions; a sensing unit configured to sense movement information of a subject as an imaging target in an image input through the image sensor; a touch screen; and a controller configured to change the posture of the image sensor using the driving unit such that the image sensor tracks a movement of the subject based on the sensed movement information, and display guide information on the touch screen related to the movement information of the subject to guide a movement of the main body of the mobile terminal.

Mobile terminal and control method thereof

A method of controlling a mobile terminal includes the steps of injecting a laser signal to a direction at which a camera is facing, receiving a reflected laser signal corresponding to the injected laser signal returned in a manner of being reflected to a subject, calculating a distance from the subject using a difference between time of injecting the laser signal and time of receiving the reflected laser signal, calculating standard illuminance of a flash based on the distance from the subject, injecting light by controlling the flash according to the standard illuminance and storing a first image including the subject using a camera module. According to the method, since it is able to obtain an image of which a whole screen is maintained by a reasonable brightness, a subject and a background can be included in an image.

Method for controlling mobile terminal and mobile terminal

A mobile terminal and a method for controlling the mobile terminal are disclosed. A mobile terminal according to the present invention comprises a camera; touch screen; and a controller displaying a first preview image obtained from the camera on the touch screen, if receiving a touch input selecting one area of the first preview image, displaying at least one recommended image with respect to the selected area having image attributes different from those of the selected area on one area of the touch screen, and if receiving an input selecting one of the displayed recommended images, displaying on the touch screen a second preview image reflecting the selected recommended image on the selected area. According to the present invention, since a recommended image is provided for a selected area from among preview images displayed on a touch screen, image attributes of the selected area can be changed easily.

Mobile terminal for providing partial attribute changes of camera preview image and method for controlling the same

A mobile terminal configured to process images, the mobile terminal comprising: a camera configured to capture images; an image sensor configured to acquire an image signal of an object in an image captured via the camera; an infrared sensor configured to detect an infrared signal reflected from the object; a controller configured to utilize the image sensor to: determine whether flicker is generated; and detect information related to a light source contributing to the generated flicker based on the detected infrared signal; and an image processor configured to perform white balance of the acquired image, the white balance performed based on the detected information if flicker is generated, and provides an effective white balancing method according to types of peripheral light sources through flicker analysis based on the image sensor and the infrared sensor.

Mobile terminal equipped with a camera and controlling method thereof

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which fluctuation of a screen can be reduced. The present invention includes a lens, a lens drive unit configured to move the lens along an x-axis and y-axis which are vertical to an optical axis and a z-axis parallel to the optical axis or to rotate the lens centering on the x-axis and the y-axis, an image pickup unit configured to generate a digital signal by detecting a light having passed through the lens, an image processor configured to create a preview image by applying an image processing to the digital signal, a display unit configured to display the preview image, and a controller, if a distance between the lens and the image pickup unit is shorter than a preset distance, controlling a partial region of the preview image to be outputted through the display unit.

Mobile terminal and controlling method thereof

A mobile terminal and method of controlling an image photographing therein are disclosed, by which a user interface for effectively receiving an input of a control command for each of a plurality of cameras provided to a mobile terminal can be provided. The present invention includes receiving an input of a first image and an input of a second image using a first camera and a second camera, respectively, setting a first photographing condition for the first camera and a second photographing condition for the second camera, photographing the first image and the second image using the first camera and the second camera according to the set first photographing condition and the set second photographing condition, respectively, generating a third image by synthesizing the photographed first and second images together, and displaying the generated third image as a photographed image.

Mobile terminal and method of controlling an image photographing therein

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which a 3D or stereoscopic image can be generated to considerably relive an observer from visual fatigue. The present invention includes a first camera and a second camera configured to take a 3D image, a display unit displaying an image taken by at least one of the first and second cameras, and a controller controlling the first camera, the second camera and the display unit, wherein the controller sets a plurality of divisional sections on a left eye image taken by the first camera and a right eye image taken by the second camera and then generates the 3D image based on a depth value of each of a plurality of the divisional sections.
