Portable television (TV) phone and method for controlling operation thereof

A method for performing a camera function in a mobile communication terminal. When the mobile communication terminal is switched to a camera mode in a state in which it is connected to an earphone with a predetermined key for performing call connection and termination functions, the predetermined key of the earphone is configured as a shutter key for capturing an image. When a signal of the predetermined key processed as the shutter key is input from the earphone, the image is captured. A clearer image can be captured without blur when the call connection and termination key serves as the shutter key in an earphone or a wireless headset connected to the mobile communication terminal, rather than the shutter key provided in the conventional mobile communication terminal.
