According to an embodiment of the invention, the mobile communication terminal comprises two buttons relating to the camera function positioned separately on a main body of the terminal, wherein one of the two button is settled as a photographing button and the other is settled as a supporting button according to a user's choice. Under such a settling state, the mobile communication terminal is structured to protrude a camera lens or to take a photograph only when all of the two buttons are pushed. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a possibility of a dropping of the terminal due to a user's carelessness during the photographing, and to decrease a possibility of damage danger of a camera lens even when the terminal is dropped on the ground.
