Abstract:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: a main body; an image capturer to capture an image of an object, the image capturer having an optical axis pointing to the object; an image sensor device adapted for sensing a tilt of the image capturer relative to the object, wherein if the object is a person, the image sensor device senses the tilt from a relative position between facial feature points of the person, using the image captured by the image capturer; a tilt determiner to determine the tilt of the image capturer relative to the object; and a compensator adapted for determining whether the image capturer is located above the object or below the object on the basis of the tilt, and for compensating image distortion of the captured image when the image capturer is determined to be above or below the object, using at least one processor.
