Abstract
A camera apparatus for capturing a picture image or a dynamic image of a constant composition without relation to a slope of a camera apparatus and a capturing method thereof are provided. The capturing method includes converting an image input through a lens into at least one of a picture image and a dynamic image, determining whether an operation mode of the camera apparatus corresponds to a fixed composition mode, and cropping at least a part of the at least one of the picture image and dynamic image having a preset composition and storing the least a part of the at least one of the picture image and the dynamic image if the operation mode corresponds to the fixed composition mode.
Claims13
A camera apparatus comprising:
- a camera configured to receive an image input through a lens;
- an image processor configured to convert the image into at least one of a picture image and a dynamic image;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine whether an operation mode of the camera apparatus corresponds to a fixed composition mode,
- if the operation mode corresponds to the fixed composition mode, control the image processor to crop at least a part of the at least one of the picture image and the dynamic image so that the at least a part has a preset composition, and
- control the image processor to store the at least a part of the at least one of the picture image and the dynamic image.
A capturing method of a camera apparatus, the capturing method comprising:
- converting an image input through a lens into at least one of a picture image and a dynamic image;
- determining whether an operation mode of the camera apparatus corresponds to a fixed composition mode;
- if the operation mode corresponds to the fixed composition mode, cropping at least a part of the at least one of the picture image and the dynamic image so that the at least a part has a preset composition;
- and
- storing the least a part of the least one of the picture image and the dynamic image.
