Claim:
1. An image capturing method, comprising: automatically acquiring image information via a camera contained in an electronic device when the camera is turned on; detecting whether a shake amplitude of the electronic device is within a pre-set range; and automatically capturing the image information acquired by the camera, when the shake amplitude of the electronic device is detected within the pre-set range, the captured image information being a picture captured by the camera; wherein detecting whether the shake amplitude of the electronic device is within the pre-set range comprises: capturing continuous n frames of acquired image information; calculating an image similarity between adjacent two frames of the continuous n frames of the image information, wherein n is a natural number greater than 2; and determining the shake amplitude of the electronic device is within the pre-set range, when the image similarity between every adjacent two frames of the continuous n frames is greater than a predetermined threshold.
