Abstract

A hand-held image-capturing electronic device with ability to compensate for unstable rotation and images during 360-degree panoramic captures includes a display screen, a first lens unit, a second lens unit, and a third lens unit. The first lens unit and the second lens unit are positioned on opposing surfaces, the third lens unit is independently rotatable on the electronic device and can cooperate with the first lens unit and the second lens unit to capture images which are refined and synthesized together by the device. A method for capturing such images with such device is also disclosed.
