Abstract:
1. A mobile terminal comprising: a memory; a display; a camera; and a controller configured to: receive a focus adjustment command at a first timing point, repeatedly receive low-resolution images and high-resolution images of a subject from the camera after the focus adjustment command is received, wherein only the low-resolution images are being repeatedly received in a first cycle before the focus adjustment command is received, and both the low-resolution images and the high-resolution images are being repeatedly received synchronously with each other in a same second cycle longer than the first cycle after the focus adjustment command is received, so that each of the low-resolution images is synchronously generated at a same time as each of the high-resolution images is generated, display one of the low-resolution images as a preview image of the subject on the display, receive a photograph taking command at a second timing point after the first timing point, and store in the memory more than one of the high-resolution images repeatedly received prior to the second timing point as a photo file of the subject when the photograph-taking command is received, wherein the second cycle is set shorter than a time interval between the first timing point and a third timing point corresponding to when the high-resolution images are initially and synchronously received at the same time as the low-resolution images are generated.
