and a memory storing the plurality of instructions, wherein execution of the plurality of instructions configures the processor to be configured to: encode a dynamic event comprising a plurality of first images received from a camera; receive a selection of a target camera position and a target light quantity in response to a user input from among the plurality of first images; and generate a target image by performing decoding based on the target camera position and the target light quantity. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of first images is captured at a different time. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plurality of first images is captured by a same camera. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to encode a light quantity of the plurality of first images and a position of the camera. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to provide a user interface for changing a light quantity and a position of the camera to capture the plurality of first images. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to: determine that a light quantity corresponding to one of the plurality of first images is the target light quantity in response to the selection; and generate a plurality of second images by changing a position of a camera while a light quantity is fixed to the target light quantity. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to: determine that a position of a camera corresponding to one of the plurality of first images is the target camera position in response to the selection; and generate a plurality of third images by changing a light quantity while the position of the camera is fixed to the target camera position. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to: generate a plurality of fourth images from the plurality of first images by simultaneously modifying a position of the camera and a light quantity in each image of the plurality of first images; and provide the plurality of fourth images as options for the selection. ### Claim 9 A processor implemented method, the method comprising: encoding a dynamic event of a plurality of first images; selecting a target camera position and a target light quantity in response to a user input from among the plurality of first images; and generating a target image by performing decoding based on the target camera position and the target light quantity. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein each of the plurality of first images is captured at a different time. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the plurality of first images is captured by a same camera. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the encoding of the dynamic event comprises encoding a light quantity of the plurality of first images and a position of a camera. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: providing a user interface for changing a light quantity and a position of a camera to capture the plurality of first images. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the selecting of the target camera position and the target light quantity comprises: determining that a light quantity corresponding to one of the plurality of first images is the target light quantity in response to the selection; and generating a plurality of second images by changing a position of a camera while a light quantity is fixed to the target light quantity. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the selecting of the target camera position and the target light quantity comprises: determining that a position of a camera corresponding to one of the plurality of first images is the target camera position in response to the selection; and generating a plurality of third images by changing a light quantity while the position of the camera is fixed to the target camera position. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: generating a fourth plurality of images from the plurality of first images by simultaneously changing a position of the camera and a light quantity; and providing the plurality of fourth images as options for the selection. ### Claim 17 (depends on 9) A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method of claim 9.
