According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a motion sensor; a first camera module including a lens assembly and a driving circuit configured to move the lens assembly in a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis, the first camera module having a first angle of view when the lens assembly is positioned in a reference position; a second camera module having a second angle of view, wherein the first angle of view is entirely in the second angle of view; and at least one processor electrically connected to the motion sensor, the first camera module, and the second camera module, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control the driving circuit to move the lens assembly based on motion data received from the motion sensor, thereby causing the first camera module to have a third angle of view, offset from the first angle of view by an angle, acquire, from the first camera module, a first image corresponding to the third angle of view, acquire a second image corresponding to the second angle of view from the second camera module, acquire depth information for the first image based on the second image and the motion data, and apply a bokeh effect to the first image based on the depth information.

Electronic device applying bokeh effect to image and operating method thereof

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes at least one camera module including at least one lens, a first sensor configured to detect a motion of the electronic apparatus, and at least one processor configured to perform a first focusing operation of determining a target position of the at least one lens by focusing processing on a subject and moving the at least one lens to the target position, and perform a second focusing operation of, according to a determination that a first condition that a photographing distance, which is a distance to the subject, is less than a distance reference value and a depth-of-field value is less than or equal to a depth reference value is satisfied, additionally driving the at least one lens based on a calculated focusing correction value for compensating a motion.

Electronic apparatus including camera and control method thereof

A method is provided including: capturing a first set of images, wherein each one of the first set of images is captured in accordance with a different value of a camera setting; generating a second set of reduced images, wherein each of the second set of reduced images is a reduced version of a respective one of the first set of images; generating, by an electronic device, a third set of composite images, wherein each one of the third set of composite images is generated by HDR-compositing the second set of reduced images in accordance with a different weight-ratio; receiving a selection of a first composite image, the first composite image being part of the third set of composite images; and storing a second composite image, the second composite image being generated by HDR-compositing the first set of images in accordance with a weight ratio associated with the first composite image.
