  • Publication number: 20240121512
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first camera, a second camera including a lens moving within a movable range, a display, a processor, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. In response to the execution of a function related to the first camera, the electronic device may display a first preview image of a first magnification acquired through the first camera through the display. The processor may move the lens included in the second camera from a starting position to a preset first position configured based on the movable range of the lens while the first preview image of the first magnification is displayed. In response to an input requesting a zoom function to a second magnification, the processor may move the lens of the preset first position to a second position corresponding to the second magnification.
