Abstract: A method and an electronic device are provided for generating a still image from a video file. The electronic device includes an image sensor, a display, and a controller configured to generate a video file from an image signal input through the image sensor, assign frame characteristics to each frame included in the video file, selectively display at least one of the frames on the display, receive a selection of a frame among the displayed at least one of the frames, and generate a still image from the selected frame.

Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling an electronic apparatus. The method includes: generating a focus map that indicates focus values of a plurality of blocks defined by splitting a field; continuously capturing a plurality of images corresponding to the focus values in the focus map; and storing the plurality of images, focus value information of each of the plurality of images, and focus value information of the field.

Abstract: A method of an electronic device for automatically focusing on a moving object is provided. The method includes generating, by a processor, at least one focal code based on information comprising depth information of the moving object obtained using at least one previous position of the moving object, focusing, by the processor, on at least one portion of the moving object based on the at least one focal code, and capturing, by a sensor, at least one image of the moving object comprising the at least one portion of the moving object.

Abstract: An electronic device and an image storage method thereof are provided. The image storage method includes acquiring a plurality of image frames, determining a number of image frames per compressed file and a divided number for image frames, dividing each of the plurality of image frames into regions having a same size according to the divided number in response to the plurality of image frames being acquired, packaging the plurality of image frames divided into the regions having the same size according to the determined number of image frames per compressed file according to the regions, and compressing the packaged plurality of image frames and storing a compressed result.
