Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention comprise: a first image sensor for acquiring a first image of an external object; a second image sensor for acquiring a second image of the external object; and a processor, wherein the processor is set so as to: acquire, through the first image sensor, the first image by using a first setting related to an exposure for the external object; acquire, through the second image sensor, the second image by using a second setting related to the exposure, during the operation of acquiring the first image; select one corresponding setting from among the first setting and the second setting on the basis of at least the first image or the second image; and acquire, through the first image sensor or the second image sensor, a third image of the external object on the basis of at least the one corresponding setting, thereby enabling an entry time of a dual camera mounted on a rear surface of an electronic device to be reduced. Other various embodiments are possible in addition to the embodiments disclosed in the present invention.
