Image capturing method and electronic device for capturing images using different light emissions

Abstract

An electronic device according to an embodiment disclosed herein comprises: a camera; a sensor configured to sense the distance between the electronic device and an object; a display; a light-emitting module comprising circuitry configured to generate a flash corresponding to a first light emission and/or a second light emission when capturing an image using the camera; and at least one processor electrically connected to the camera, the sensor, the light-emitting module, and the display. The at least one processor is configured to: control the display to display an image obtained by driving the camera as a preview image on the display; determine a main object included in the preview image; execute a first mode based on the distance between the main object and the electronic device as sensed through the sensor being less than a threshold value, the first mode being a mode for image capture using the first light emission; and executing a second mode based on the distance between the main object and the electronic device as sensed through the sensor being equal to or greater than the threshold value, the second mode being a mode for image capture using the first light emission and the second light emission occurring subsequent to the first light emission.
