Electronic device and method for displaying image in electronic device

An electronic device, comprising:

• a camera circuitry including an image sensor, the camera circuitry being configured to capture image data corresponding to an external environment;
• a processor operatively connected to the camera circuitry;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor,
• wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to:
• obtain a first live video image comprising a plurality of subjects,
• set a plurality of sub-regions, in the first live video image, corresponding to the plurality of subjects,
• cause a second live video image to be displayed by resetting a size of each of the plurality of sub-regions and arranging the plurality of sub-regions depending on a number of the plurality of sub-regions, and
• maintain the plurality of sub-regions of the second live video image for a predetermined waiting time period after an occurrence of one of the plurality of subjects moving outside of a corresponding one of the sub-regions during displaying of the plurality of sub-regions of the second live video image.

A method for displaying an image in an electronic device, the method comprising:

• obtaining a first image comprising a plurality of subjects;
• setting a plurality of sub-regions respectively comprising the plurality of subjects;
• obtaining a distance between the plurality of sub-regions;
• when a distance between a first region and a second region, which are adjacent to each other, among the plurality of sub-regions is greater than or equal to a specified threshold distance, displaying a second image generated based on the first region and the second region;
• when the distance between the first region and the second region is less than the specified threshold distance while displaying the second image, displaying a timer counting a specified waiting time together with the second image;
• and
• returning to the first image, when the specified waiting time counted by the timer elapses.
