Abstract
An electronic device includes a display; a camera module configured to move an image sensor, wherein the camera module includes a lens unit comprising at least one lens disposed on the image sensor and a lens driving unit configured to move the at least one lens; and a processor configured to display a first image comprising an external object obtained with a first view angle by using the camera module through the display, move a location of the at least one lens by using the lens driving unit so that a view angle of the external object changes from the first view angle to a second view angle, obtain a second image comprising the external object with the second view angle by using the camera module, select a part of the second image so that a view angle of the second image becomes practically identical to the first view angle, and display a part of the selected second image by using the display.
