Abstract
An electronic device includes a camera and a processor. The processor is configured to: obtain a first image from the camera with respect to an external object, move a lens device depending on a specified amount of movement using a lens driver, obtain a second image corresponding to a position to which the lens device moves with respect to the external object, determine a first partial area of the first image corresponding to a specified portion of the external object, determine a second partial area of the second image corresponding to the first partial area based on the first partial area and the specified movement amount, determine a focus position with respect to the lens device based on a defocus difference between the first partial area and the second partial area and the specified movement amount, and move the lens device to the focus position using the lens driver.
