An apparatus capable of taking a self-portrait picture, comprising:
- a display;
- a camera;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the display to display a preview image for a self-portrait mode received from the camera,
- in response to detecting a first user input for triggering display of an indicator on the display while the preview image for the self-portrait mode is displayed on the display, control the display to display the indicator over the preview image at a position where the first user input is detected, wherein an area defined by the indicator and an area occupied by the first user input are substantially identical, and the indicator indicates that the apparatus is ready to detect a second user input different from the first user input, and
- in response to detecting the second user input within the area defined by the indicator while the indicator is displayed on the display, control the camera to capture an image to save as a self-portrait picture in the memory,
- wherein a location of the area defined by the indicator within the display depends on a location of the area that the first user input occupies.

- a display;
- a camera;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the display to display a preview image for a self-portrait mode received from the camera,
- in response to detecting a first user input for triggering display of an indicator on the display while the preview image for the self-portrait mode is displayed on the display, control the display to display the indicator over the preview image at a position where the first user input is detected, wherein the indicator indicates that the apparatus is ready to detect a second user input different from the first user input;
- and
- in response to detecting the second user input within an area defined by the indicator while the indicator is displayed on the display, control the camera to capture an image to save as a self-portrait picture in the memory,
- wherein a location of the area defined by the indicator within the display depends on a location of the area which the first user input occupies.
