Abstract
A method of controlling a photographing apparatus having a voice call function is described. A determination of whether the voice call function is being performed is made upon an input of a shutter release signal of the photographing apparatus. A distance between the photographing apparatus and an object is sensed when the voice call function is being performed upon the input of the shutter release signal. A barrel driving mode is disabled based on the shutter release signal when the sensed distance is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

A method of controlling a photographing apparatus having a voice call function, the method comprising:
- determining whether the voice call function is being performed upon an input of a shutter release signal of the photographing apparatus;
- sensing a distance between the photographing apparatus and an object when the voice call function is being performed upon the input of the shutter release signal;
- and
- disabling a barrel driving mode based on the shutter release signal when the sensed distance is equal to or less than a predetermined value.
A photographing apparatus having a voice call function, the photographing apparatus comprising:
- a voice call detecting unit that determines whether the voice call function is being performed upon an input of a shutter release signal of the photographing apparatus;
- a distance determining unit that senses a distance between the photographing apparatus and an object when the voice call function is being performed upon the input of the shutter release signal;
- and
- a barrel driving control unit that disables a barrel driving mode based on the shutter release signal when the sensed distance is equal to or less than a predetermined value.
