A second image is captured through a second camera; and the first and second images are then combined. The combined image may be a picture-in-picture (PIP) type combination image. The first and second cameras may be front and rear cameras of a portable terminal, or vice versa. The successive image capture and selection technique may also be applied to the second camera.
