Abstract
A method of capturing images includes the following steps of: providing a camera module including an image capture unit, a liquid lens unit, and an image process unit; capturing a clear image through the camera module; enlarging the camera's relative aperture to create a shallow depth-of-field; adjusting the focal plane of the liquid lens unit to analyze object depth information in the clear image; and adding or storing the depth information of the object to the clear image.
