Abstract
An apparatus for and a method of removing a moire pattern of a digital imaging device are provided. It is determined whether or not a moire pattern is created based on an image frequency of a preview image and a spatial frequency of an image sensor, and when it is determined that a moire pattern is generated, an optical path of light incident to an image sensor is slightly changed to remove the moire pattern. Accordingly, image quality deterioration can be improved, and a problem of unnecessary filtering that causes deterioration of resolution even when there is no moire pattern can be enhanced.
