Abstract
A method and apparatus of example embodiments are related to photographing using a plurality of sensors in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a plurality of output units comprising output circuitry configured to output an identification signal to an external object, a sensor configured to acquire an identification signal that is a reflection of the identification signal from an external object, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a first state of the external object, based on the reflected identification signal, to designate the plurality of output units as a first subset and a second subset, based at least on the first state of the external object, and to differently control the first subset and the second subset to output the identification signal.
