Claim 9:
10. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
acquiring a first image with a first magnification using a first camera having a first angle of view, and displaying the acquired first image on a display;
while acquiring the first image by using the first camera, receiving an input requesting changing an image acquisition magnification of a camera module from the first magnification to a second magnification;
changing a distance between the first camera and a second camera having a second angle of view different from the first angle of view in response to receiving the input;
upon detecting that the changed distance between the first camera and the second camera is less than or equal to a threshold distance, or when the distance between the first camera and the second camera is greater than the threshold distance, that a first range of the first image is fully within an estimated second range of an estimated second image corresponding to the second angle of view, switching from the first camera to the second camera; and
acquiring a second image using the second camera, and display the acquired second image on the display.
