  • Publication number: 20100053363
    Abstract: Provided are a photographing method and apparatus for implementing the method. The photographing method includes setting coordinates where a face to be photographed is to be positioned and setting a size of the face, detecting a face from a preview image of a predetermined subject according to the coordinates and the size, and photographing the subject when a face corresponding to the coordinates and the size is detected from the preview image. Thus, coordinates where a face is positioned and a facial size can be adjusted when a user wants to perform a self-photographing operation.
