Abstract

A portable communication device is provided that includes a transceiver, a memory, a touchscreen, an imaging device, and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain, using the imaging device, a first image including objects external to the portable communication device based at least in part on a first focus and a first exposure. When the objects are persons, the processor is configured to display, via the touchscreen, the first image, graphical user interface (GUI) items corresponding to each face region of the persons. The processor is also configured to move at least one of the GUI items according to a user input detected via the touchscreen, and based at least in part on the user input, replace the displayed first image with a second image using at least one of a second focus or a second exposure determined with respect to the moved position.
