Abstract: A method of controlling a photographing apparatus including a main processor and an image processor is provided. The method includes transmitting, by the image processor to the main processor, transmission data that includes preview image data of an image photographed through a photographing module and, if image data that is parallel-processed with the preview image data exists, the image data; extracting, by the main processor, the preview image data from the transmission data; displaying the extracted preview image data on a display portion of the photographing apparatus; and if the image data is included in the transmission data, storing, by the main processor, the image data in a memory.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a photographing unit, a processing unit, and a display unit. The photographing unit creates an image signal and captures a first image corresponding to a first shutter release signal. The processing unit creates a first quick view image of the first captured image and creates a live view image based on the image signal. The display unit displays the first quick view image and the live view image. If a second shutter release signal is inputted within a first reference time from a moment at which the first shutter release signal is inputted, the processing unit creates and displays, at the display unit, a second quick view image corresponding to the second shutter release signal. If the second shutter release signal is not inputted within the first reference time, the processing unit creates and displays, at the display unit, the live view image.

Abstract: A communication method to transfer user operation information includes, if a user's operation is input through the electronic device, and if the electronic device then receives a command from a host device while the electronic device is connected to the host device, transmitting information to the host device notify the host device of the user's operation. Therefore, it is possible for a user to command the host device to perform a frequently used function through a simple operation of the electronic device, without a need to be aware of the complex usage of an application.

Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) device and a method of recognizing a USB mode whereby the USB device automatically recognizes a mass-storage or PictBridge mode according to a type of a connected host such that the USB device configures a communication interface suitable for the recognized host. The USB device includes: a controller to control a USB communication with the host; and an interface unit to automatically determine a mode of the USB communication, from among a plurality of modes, according to a type of the connected host, and to provide a communication interface in the determined mode corresponding to the host. Although the host connected to the USB device does not support several configuration descriptors, a timer of a mass-storage module switches a current mode to the USB mode suitable for a corresponding host, such that the USB device universally supports the USB multi-mode irrespective of host types.
