Abstract
A method of controlling a photographing apparatus having a voice call function is described. A determination of whether the voice call function is being performed is made upon an input of a shutter release signal of the photographing apparatus. A distance between the photographing apparatus and an object is sensed when the voice call function is being performed upon the input of the shutter release signal. A barrel driving mode is disabled based on the shutter release signal when the sensed distance is equal to or less than a predetermined value.
