Abstract
Embodiments are directed to an electronic device including a camera module capturing a video, a memory, and a processor sequentially storing, in the memory, each of a plurality of frames respectively focused during the video capture on a plurality of frame areas selected from the video.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a camera module;
- a touch screen;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify focusing areas corresponding to a plurality of objects included in a preview video obtained from the camera module;
- obtain a video including a plurality of frames which are alternately focused on the identified focusing areas;
- store, in the memory, the plurality of frames alternately focused on the identified focusing areas;
- in response to request for playing back the video, play back, on the touch screen, a first video including frames focused on a first focusing area among the focusing areas;
- and
- in response to a user's selection via the touch screen while playing back the first video, play hack, on the touch screen, a second video including frames focused on a second focusing area which is different from the first focusing area among the focusing areas.

A method for operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
- identifying focusing areas corresponding to a plurality of objects included in a preview video obtained from a camera of the electronic device;
- obtaining a video including a plurality of frames alternately focused on the identified focus areas;
- storing, in a memory of the electronic device, the plurality of frames alternately focused on the identified focusing areas;
- in response to request for playing back the video, playing back, on a touch screen of the electronic device, a first video including frames focused on a first focusing area among the focusing areas;
- and
- in response to a user's selection via the touch screen while playing back the first video, playing back, on the touch screen, a second video including frames focused on a second focusing area which is different from the first focusing area among the focusing areas.

An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch screen;
- a memory configured to store a video including a plurality of frames which are alternately focused on focusing areas, wherein the plurality of frames includes first frames focused on a first focusing area included in the video and second frames focused on a second focusing area included in the video, the second frames alternating with the first frames, and the first and second frames having been captured at a first frame rate;
- a processor configured to play back, on the touch screen, a video corresponding to one of the first frames and the second frames at a second frame rate differing from the first frame rate;
- and
- in response to a user's selection via the touch screen while playing back the video corresponding the one of the first frames and the second frames, play back, on the touch screen, a video corresponding to another of the first frames and the second frames.
