Abstract: An image capturing apparatus and an image capturing method are provided. The image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image; and a controller connected to the image capturing unit, wherein the controller is configured to obtain a background image with depth information, position a three-dimensional (3D) virtual image representing a target object in the background image based on the depth information, and control the image capturing unit to capture the target object based on a difference between the target object viewed from the image capturing apparatus and the 3D virtual image in the background image.

Abstract: A method for searching for an image includes receiving a user input to select a region of interest from an image; displaying an indicator showing the region of interest; determining at least one piece of identification information for the region of interest as a search word; searching for an image corresponding to the search word from an image database; and displaying a found image.

Abstract: A control method and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a photographing unit configured to photograph a hand including fingers, a display unit configured to display a plurality of content objects, and a control unit configured to recognize a finger gesture of the photographed hand and a distance from the electronic device to the finger, and control the display unit to change and display a range of a displayed content object according to the recognized finger gesture and the distance.
