Abstract

An electronic device and method for capturing an image are disclosed. The electronic device includes an image sensor configured to capture images, a location sensor configured to detect a location of the electronic device, and a processor. The processor may execute the method, which includes capturing a first image, and detecting a first location where the first image is captured, detecting, by a processor, a second location at which a second image is to be captured and generating guidance information for travel to the second location, and when a present location is within a predefined range of the second location, automatically capturing the second image.
