Abstract

A portable communication device configured to activate an image capturing function of a camera module. When the image capturing function is activated, use an image sensor to obtain first raw image data including a specified channel pattern, generated by binning image data obtained from the specified number of image pixels corresponding to the same channel. Display a first image generated based on the first raw image data on a display. While the image capturing function is activated, receive an input associated with adjustment of a zoom setting. Use the image sensor to obtain second raw image data having the specified channel pattern, generated by re-mosaicing image data obtained from some of the plurality of image pixels corresponding to a portion of the image sensor based on the input. Display a second image generated based on the second raw image data on the display.
