The lens assembly  210  may collect light emitted or reflected from an object whose image is to be taken. The lens assembly  210  may include one or more lenses. According to an embodiment, the camera module  180  may include a plurality of lens assemblies  210 . In such a case, the camera module  180  may form, for example, a dual camera, a 360-degree camera, or a spherical camera. Some of the plurality of lens assemblies  210  may have the same lens attribute (e.g., view angle, focal length, auto-focusing, f number, or optical zoom), or at least one lens assembly may have one or more lens attributes different from those of another lens assembly. The lens assembly  210  may include, for example, a wide-angle lens or a telephoto lens. 
     The flash  220  may emit light that is used to reinforce light reflected from an object.

     The image stabilizer  240  may move the image sensor  230  or at least one lens included in the lens assembly  210  in a particular direction, or control an operational attribute (e.g., adjust the read-out timing) of the image sensor  230  in response to the movement of the camera module  180  or the electronic device  101  including the camera module  180 . This allows compensating for at least part of a negative effect (e.g., image blurring) by the movement on an image being captured. According to an embodiment, the image stabilizer  240  may sense such a movement by the camera module  180  or the electronic device  101  using a gyro sensor (not shown) or an acceleration sensor (not shown) disposed inside or outside the camera module  180 .

     The memory  250  may store, at least temporarily, at least part of an image obtained via the image sensor  230  for a subsequent image processing task. For example, if image capturing is delayed due to shutter lag or multiple images are quickly captured, a raw image obtained (e.g., a Bayer-patterned image, a high-resolution image) may be stored in the memory  250 , and its corresponding copy image (e.g., a low-resolution image) may be previewed via the display device  160 . Thereafter, if a specified condition is met (e.g., by a user&#39;s input or system command), at least part of the raw image stored in the memory  250  may be obtained and processed, for example, by the image signal processor  260 . According to an embodiment, the memory  250  may be configured as at least part of the memory  130  or as a separate memory that is operated independently from the memory  130 . 
     The image signal processor  260  may perform one or more image processing with respect to an image obtained via the image sensor  230  or an image stored in the memory  250 . The one or more image processing may include, for example, depth map generation, three-dimensional (3D) modeling, panorama generation, feature point extraction, image synthesizing, or image compensation (e.g., noise reduction, resolution adjustment, brightness adjustment, blurring, sharpening, or softening). Additionally or alternatively, the image signal processor  260  may perform control (e.g., exposure time control or read-out timing control) with respect to at least one (e.g., the image sensor  230 ) of the components included in the camera module  180 . An image processed by the image signal processor  260  may be stored back in the memory  250  for further processing, or may be provided to an external component (e.g., the memory  130 , the display device  160 , the electronic device  102 , the electronic device  104 , or the server  108 ) outside the camera module  180 . According to an embodiment, the image signal processor  260  may be configured as at least part of the processor  120 , or as a separate processor that is operated independently from the processor  120 . If the image signal processor  260  is configured as a separate processor from the processor  120 , at least one image processed by the image signal processor  260  may be displayed, by the processor  120 , via the display device  160  as it is or after being further processed. 
     According to an embodiment, the electronic device  101  may include a plurality of camera modules  180  having different attributes or functions. In such a case, at least one of the plurality of camera modules  180  may form, for example, a wide-angle camera and at least another of the plurality of camera modules  180  may form a telephoto camera. Similarly, at least one of the plurality of camera modules  180  may form, for example, a front camera and at least another of the plurality of camera modules  180  may form a rear camera.

       FIG.  3 B  illustrates a flowchart indicating a method for displaying an image in an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device  101  of  FIG.  3 A ) according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  3 B , in a method  350 , in operation  351 , a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may obtain a first image including a plurality of subjects. The first image may be an image captured using a camera (e.g., a camera module  180  of  FIG.  2   ). For example, the first image may be an image obtained by means of a lens assembly (e.g., a lens assembly  210  of  FIG.  3 A ). The plurality of subjects may be targets focused on the first image. For example, the plurality of subjects may be persons included in the captured first image. 
     In operation  353 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  may set a plurality of sub-regions respectively including the plurality of subjects. The processor  120  may set each of the plurality of sub-regions to include at least one of the plurality of subjects. For example, the processor  120  may set a rectangular sub-region to surround each of persons included in the first image. 
     In operation  355 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may obtain a distance between the plurality of sub-regions. The processor  120  may measure a length in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction of each of the plurality of sub-regions displayed on a display device (e.g., a display device  160  of  FIG.  3 A ) on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The pixel-by-pixel basis may be a physical length in a horizontal and/or vertical direction of any one of a plurality of pixels arranged on the display device  160 . The processor  120  may measure a distance between any two of the plurality of sub-regions on a pixel-by-pixel basis. For example, the processor  120  may measure that a first region among the plurality of sub-regions has a length in units of 50 pixels in a horizontal direction, that a second region among the plurality of sub-regions has a length in units of 30 pixels in the horizontal direction, and that a distance between the first region and the second region changes from units of 20 pixels to units of 60 pixels in the horizontal direction. 
     In operation  357 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may identify whether the distance between the first region and the second region, which are adjacent to each other, among the plurality of sub-regions is greater than or equal to a specified threshold distance. Another sub-region may fail to be disposed between the first region and the second region, and a background of a first image may be filed between the first region and the second region. The threshold distance may be preset according to a size of the first region and the second region and a specified magnification condition. For example, when the threshold distance is set to 1.5 times of a length in a horizontal direction of a region with a short length in the horizontal direction between the first region and the second region, when the first region has a length in units of 50 pixels in the horizontal direction, and when the second region has a length in units of 30 pixels in the horizontal direction, the threshold distance may be a length in units of 45 pixels. When the distance between the first region and the second region, which are adjacent to each other, among the plurality of regions is less than the threshold distance (No in operation  357 ), the processor  120  may proceed to operation  359 . When the distance between the first region and the second region, which are adjacent to each other, among the plurality of regions is greater than or equal to the threshold distance (Yes in operation  357 ), the processor  120  may proceed to operation  361 . 
     In operation  359 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may display a first screen. When the distance between the first region and the second region is less than the threshold distance, the processor  120  may determine that it is unnecessary to omit a background between the first region and the second region. The display device  160  may display a first image without change. 
     In operation  361 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may omit at least a portion of a third region disposed between the first region and the second region from the first image. The third region may be a region displaying the background between the first region and the second region. When the distance between the first region and the second region is greater than or equal to the threshold distance, the processor  120  may determine to omit at least a portion of the third region to more emphasize the first region and the second region. 
     In operation  363 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may display a second image obtained by resetting a size of each of the plurality of sub-regions and rearranging each of the plurality of sub-regions. The processor  120  may reset a size of each of the plurality of sub-regions to fill a region remaining after emitting the at least a portion of the third region. For example, the processor  120  may zoom in on the first region and/or the second region. The processor  120  may rearrange the zoomed-in first region and/or the zoomed-in second region to correspond to a screen composition to generate the second image. The display device  160  may display the second image, the first region and the second region of which are more emphasized. 
       FIG.  4    is a drawing illustrating a plurality of focused subjects captured by a camera (e.g., a camera module  180  of  FIG.  2   ) of an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device  101  of  FIG.  3 A ) according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  4   , a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) may set a plurality of subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  to persons inn image data  400 , respectively. The processor  120  may obtain a first image captured by the camera module  180  and may display the obtained first image on a display device (e.g., a display device  160  of  FIG.  1   ). 
     In an embodiment, the first image may be a screen, a video, and/or a preview screen captured by one camera (e.g., the camera module  180 ). The processor  120  may obtain the first image including the plurality of subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  using the one camera (e.g., the camera module  180 ) without using several cameras (e.g., camera modules). 
     In an embodiment, the plurality of focused subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  may include the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430 . The first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430  may be persons. The first image including the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430  may be displayed on a display device (e.g., a display device  160  of  FIG.  3 A ). 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may set a plurality of sub-regions respectively including the plurality of subjects in the first image in the first image. The processor  120  may set each of the plurality of sub-regions to include at least one of the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430 . The processor  120  may set each sub-region to include at least one of the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430 . For example, the processor  120  may set a virtual rectangular region including the first subject  410 , a virtual rectangular region including the second subject  420 , and a virtual rectangular region including the third subject  430  to sub-regions. 
     Referring to  FIG.  4   , it is shown that a border of each of the plurality of sub-regions is not displayed. However, various embodiments are not limited thereto. The processor  120  may display a border of each of the plurality of sub-regions, which are the virtual rectangular region including the first subject  410 , the virtual rectangular region including the second subject  420 , and the virtual rectangular region including the third subject  430 , on the display device  160 . 
       FIG.  5    is a drawing illustrating a case where a distance between at least one neighboring subject and the other subjects among a plurality of focused subjects captured by a camera (e.g., a camera module  180  of  FIG.  2   ) of an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device  101  of  FIG.  3 A ) is spaced greater than or equal to a threshold distance, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  5   , in an, at least one ( 430 ) of the plurality of focused subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  in image data  400  may move away from the other subjects  410  and  420 . The third subject  430  may move away from the first subject  410  and the second subject  420 . For example, the third subject  430  may be a rightmost captured person. The first subject  410  and the second subject  420  may be the other captured persons. 
     In an embodiment, a distance between the third subject  430  and the first and second subjects  410  and  420  may be less than or equal to a threshold distance (alpha). When the third subject  430  is not distant from the first subject  410  and the second subject  420 , it may be less than the threshold distance. When the distance between the third subject  430  and the first and second subjects  410  and  420  is less than or equal to the threshold distance, the third subject  430  may be included in one sub-region. 
     In an embodiment, the distance between the third subject  430  and the first and second subjects  410  and  420  may be greater than or equal to the threshold distance. The third subject  430  may move away from the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  over the threshold distance in a first direction D 1 . For example, the rightmost captured person who is the third subject  430  may move away from the other captured persons who are the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  over the threshold distance in the first direction D 1 . When the distance between the third subject  430  and the first and second subjects  410  and  420  is greater than or equal to the threshold distance, a space may be generated between the third subject  430  and the first and second subjects  410  and  420 . 
     When the distance between the third subject  430  and the first and second subjects  410  and  420  is greater than or equal to the threshold distance, it may fail to be easy to zoom in on the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430  over a certain ratio due to the space between the third subject  430  and the first and second subjects  410  and  420 . Thus, the captured persons corresponding to the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430  may be represented to be small overall. Furthermore, unnecessary spaces may be generated in a first image. Furthermore, because it is not easy to rearrange the zoomed-in first subject  410 , the zoomed-in second subject  420 , and the zoomed-in third subject  430  on a display device (e.g., a display device  160  of  FIG.  3 A ), the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430  may be displayed in a form limited in a specific composition on the display device  160 . 
     In an embodiment, a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) may measure a distance between the plurality of subjects. The processor  120  may measure a distance between the plurality of sub-regions in units of pixels of the display device  160 . 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may obtain a length of an outer border of each of the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430  and/or may obtain a distance between outer borders which are adjacent to each other. The processor  120  may obtain a length in a first direction D 1  of an outer border of each of the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430  at a specified period and/or may obtain a distance in the first direction D 1  between outer borders, which are adjacent to each other, at the specified period. For example, the processor  120  may detect that the length in the first direction D 1  of the outer border of the first subject  410  is 50 unit pixels, that the length in the first direction D 1  of the outer border of the second subject  420  is 40 unit pixels, and that the length in the first direction D 1  of the outer border of the third subject  430  is 30 unit pixels. 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may detect that an outer border of a sub-region surrounding the third subject  430  moves away from an outer border of a sub-region surrounding the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  over a threshold distance. The threshold distance may be preset according to a size of each of the plurality of sub-regions and a specified magnification condition. For example, when the threshold distance is set to 1.5 times of a length in a horizontal direction of a region with a short length in the horizontal direction among the plurality of sub-regions, because the length in the first direction D 1  of the outer border of the third subject  430  has 30 unit pixels, which is the shortest distance, the processor  120  may set the threshold distance to a length in units of 45 pixels. 
       FIG.  6    is a drawing  600  illustrating a method for setting a plurality of sub-regions  610  and  620  to a plurality of focused subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  captured by a camera (e.g., a camera module  180  of  FIG.  2   ) of an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device  101  of  FIG.  3 A ) according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  6   , in an embodiment, a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) may set the plurality of sub-regions  610  and  620  in image data  600  to respectively include the first subjects  410 , the second subjects  420 , and the third subjects  430 . The processor  120  may determine the first subject  410  and the second subject  420 , which are close or attached less than or equal to the threshold distance, as one subject. The processor  120  may include the first subject  410  and the second subject  420 , which are close or attached less than or equal to the threshold distance, in one sub-region. For example, the processor  120  may set the first sub-region to include the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  and may set the second sub-region  620  to include the third subject  430 . The processor  120  may set a virtual rectangle including the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  to the first sub-region  610 . The processor  120  may set a virtual rectangle including the third subject  430  to the second sub-region  620 . 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may detect that the at least one subject  430  moves away from the other subjects  410  and  420  over the threshold distance. For example, the processor  120  may detect that the at least one subject  430  moves away from the neighboring subject  420  over the threshold distance. For example, the processor  120  may detect that an outer border of the second sub-region  620  surrounding the third subject  430  moves away from an outer border of the first sub-region  610  surrounding the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  over the threshold distance. In this case, the processor  120  may determine that the third subject  430  moves away from the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  over the threshold distance. When the third subject  430  moves away from the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  over the threshold distance, the processor  120  may reconfigure a first image to more clearly represent the first subject  410 , the second subject  420 , and the third subject  430 . 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may set the plurality of sub-regions  610  and  620  such that the plurality of sub-regions  610  and  620  are not overlapped with each other. The processor  120  may set the first sub-region  610  and the second sub-region  620  such that the first sub-region  610  and the second sub-region  620  are not overlapped with each other. 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may obtain a distance between the plurality of sub-regions  610  and  620 . When the third subject  430  moves away from the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  over the threshold distance, the processor  120  may prepare for a trigger operation for reconfiguring the first image. 
     In an embodiment, an image sensor (e.g., an image sensor  230  of  FIG.  3 A ) may obtain image data including the first sub-region  610 , the second sub-region  620 , and a space  630  between the first sub-region  610  and the second sub-region  620 . The image sensor  230  may determine the space  630  between the first sub-region  610  and the second sub-region  620  as the third region  630 . 
       FIG.  7    is a drawing illustrating a screen rearranging and displaying a plurality of sub-regions set according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  7   , in an embodiment, a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) may reset a size of each of the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  in image data  700  based on an image reconfiguration instruction (e.g., an image reconfiguration instruction  314  of  FIG.  3 A ). For example, the processor  120  may zoom in on each of the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720 . The processor  120  may rearrange the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  based on the image reconfiguration instruction  314 . The processor  120  may display an image obtained by rearranging the plurality of sub-region  710  and  720  on a display device (e.g., a display device  160  of  FIG.  3 A ). The processor  120  may display a second image obtained by zooming in on and rearranging the first sub-region  710  and the sub-region  720  of a first image based on the image reconfiguration instruction  314  on the display device  160 . 
     When a distance between the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  is greater than or equal to a specified threshold distance, the processor  120  may omit at least a portion of a third region (e.g., a third region  630  of  FIG.  6   ) disposed between the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  from the first image. The threshold distance may be set according to a distance in a first direction D 1  of each of the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  and a specified magnification of each of the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720 . For example, the threshold distance may be set to 1.5 times of a distance of the first direction D 1  of the sub-region  720  smaller among the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720 . The processor  120  may crop some regions in the first image captured when an interval between moving interest objects is greater than or a threshold distance to digitally generate a plurality of segmented images. When the length in the first direction D 1  of the third region  630  is greater than or equal to the threshold distance, the processor  120  may determine that the third region  630  is occupied over a certain rate in the first image and may crop the first sub-region  610  and the second sub-region  620  of the first image. For example, when the threshold distance is greater than or equal to 1.5 times of the distance in the first direction D 1  of the sub-region  720  smaller among the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720 , the processor  120  may omit at least a portion of the third region  630  from image data. 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may display a second image obtained by resetting a size of each of the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  and rearranging each of the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720 . The processor  120  may resize a first sub-region  410  and a second subject  420  included in the first sub-region  710  and/or a third subject  430  included in the second sub-region  720 . For example, The processor  120  may differently apply a zoom-in rate of the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  included in the first sub-region  710  and a zoom-in rate of the third subject  430  included in the second sub-region  720 . The processor  120  may connect the first sub-region  710  including the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  with the second sub-region  720  including the third subject  430  to generate and display a second image on the display device  160 . 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may rearrange the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  included in the first sub-region  710  and the third subject  430  included in the second sub-region  720  to be reconfigured as the one second image. For example, the processor  120  may stitch the first subject  410  and the second subject  420  included in the first sub-region  710  and the third subject  430  included in the second sub-region  720 . The processor  120  may resize and arrange the first sub-region  710  and the second sub-region  720  cropped by a specific queue signal to suit the display device  160  to configure the second image. 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may rearrange the plurality of sub-regions (or the plurality of zoom regions)  710  and  720  such that the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  are adjacent to each other in the first direction D 1  and such that a division line  730  is displayed between the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720 . The processor  120  may rearrange each of the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720 , may omit at least a portion of the third region  630 , and may increase the zoom-in rate of the first sub-region  710  and the second sub-region  720 . The processor  120  may notify a user of the electronic device  101  that the at least a portion of the third region  630  is omitted and that there is originally the omitted space between the first sub-region  710  and the second sub-region  720 . The processor  120  may control the display device  160  to display the division line  730  between the first sub-region  710  and the second sub-region  720  based on the image reconfiguration instruction  314 . 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may arrange the plurality of sub-region  710  and  720  such that the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  are displayed as separate windows, respectively, and such that at least some of edges and/or regions forming the windows are overlapped with each other. The rearrangement of each of the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  may be performed to be differently applied to zoom-in rates of the first sub-region  710  and the second sub-region  720  or to correspond to a screen ratio of the display device  160 . In this case, the plurality of sub-regions  710  and  720  may be rearranged such that they are displayed as separate windows, respectively, and some of edges and/or regions forming the windows are overlapped with each other. The processor  120  may set a size and a location of a window forming the first sub-region  710  and the second sub-region  720  based on the image reconfiguration instruction  314 . 
       FIG.  8    is a drawing illustrating a method for setting boundary regions of a plurality of subjects according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  8   , in an embodiment, a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) may obtain a distance between objects or persons included in an image. To obtain the distance between the objects or the persons included in the image, the processor  120  may set boundary regions  810 ,  820 ,  830 ,  840 ,  850  of a plurality of subjects  811 ,  812 ,  813 ,  814 , and  815  in image data  800 . For example, the processor  120  may set the first boundary region  810 , the second boundary region  820 , the third boundary region  830 , the fourth boundary region  840 , and the fifth boundary region  850  respectively including the first subject  811 , the second subject  812 , the third subject  813 , the fourth subject  814 , and the fifth subject  815 . 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may control a lens assembly (e.g., a lens assembly  210  of  FIG.  3 A ) to detect an object from image data based on an object detection instruction (e.g., an object detection instruction  311  of  FIG.  3 A ). The processor  120  may control the lens assembly  210  to track an object from the image data based on an object tracking instruction (e.g., an object tracking instruction  312  of  FIG.  3 A ). For example, when an object to be tracked is a person, the processor  120  may calculate a boundary box of each of the subjects  811 ,  812 ,  813 ,  814 , and  815  and an interval between the boundary boxes in real time through human tracking. The human tracking may be a method for executing human detection to identify a position of each of the subjects  811 ,  812 ,  813 ,  814 , and  815  and continuing tracking a position of each of the subjects  811 ,  812 ,  813 ,  814 , and  815  based on a portion similar to a previous frame on consecutive frames of a camera (e.g., a camera module  180  of  FIG.  2   ). Furthermore, the human detection may be a method for detecting a person based on whether a shape of the human body is detected and setting the boundary regions  810 ,  820 ,  830 ,  840 , and  850  in the form of covering the body of the person. 
       FIG.  9    is a drawing illustrating a method for setting a person region  910  according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  9   , in an embodiment, a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) may separate the person region  910  from a background region  920  in a first image in image data  900 . The person region  910  may be a region representing the person in the first image. The background region  920  may be a region except for the person region  910  in the first image. 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may record and/or track an interval between persons included in the person region  910  in real time based on semantic segmentation. The semantic segmentation may be a method for deriving a boundary portion or a mask on a pixel-by-pixel basis with respect to the class, “person”, in the first image. The processor  120  may measure a distance between persons separated in the person region  910  of the first image based on the semantic segmentation to measure an interval between the persons in real time. 
       FIG.  10    is a drawing illustrating a method for setting a person width according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  10   , in an embodiment, a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) may set a length in a first direction D 1  of a boundary region  810  of a subject  811  to a person width in image data  1000 . When the subject  811  is set to a target to be zoomed in, the boundary region  810  may be substantially the same region as a zoom region (e.g., a second zoom region  720  of  FIG.  7   ) including one subject. The processor  120  may set a length in the first direction D 1  of the zoom region  720  to the person width. 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may set a specified distance based on a width in the first direction D 1  of each of the plurality of zoom regions  810 . The processor  120  may obtain a threshold distance (alpha) on the basis of a length of a narrow side of the boundary region  810  of the one subject  811  based on human detection. When there are a plurality of person width values, the processor  120  may set the smallest of the person width values to the threshold distance. 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may set the threshold distance to a value obtained by multiplying the person width by a specified constant (beta). The specified constant may be generally “1”. However, various embodiments are not limited thereto. The specified constant may be differently set according to an application program. 
       FIG.  11    is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying an image in an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device  101  of  FIG.  3 A ) according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  11   , in a method  1100 , in operation  1110 , a camera (e.g., a camera module  180  of  FIG.  2   ) of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may perform screen reconfiguration according to the number and a size of zoom regions (e.g., a first sub-region  710  and a second sub-region  720  of  FIG.  7   ). The camera  180  may generate a first image based on the number and a size of the sub-regions  710  and  720  and may display the first image on a display device (e.g., a display device  160  of  FIG.  3 A ). 
     In operation  1120 , the camera  180  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may update a camera preview. The camera  180  may display a preview screen showing an external environment obtained by a lens assembly (e.g., a lens assembly  210  of  FIG.  3 A ) in advance on the display device  160 . The camera  180  may update a preview image continuously before capturing an image obtained using an image sensor (e.g., an image sensor  230  of  FIG.  3 A ). 
     In operation  1130 , the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may determine whether the driving of the camera  180  is ended. When the driving of the camera  180  is ended (Yes in operation  1130 ), the electronic device  101  may end the above-mentioned process without proceeding to an additional operation. When the camera  180  continues being driven (No in operation  1130 ), the electronic device  101  may proceed to operation  1140 . 
     In operation  1140 , the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may determine whether a screen division signal is detected. When a distance between a plurality of subjects (e.g., a plurality of subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  of  FIG.  4   ) is greater than or equal to a threshold distance, the processor  120  may transmit the screen division signal to the camera  180 . 
     In operation  1150 , the camera  180  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may track the new target subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  and generate the zoom regions  710  and  720 . The camera  180  may receive the screen division signal from the processor  120  and may track the subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  to set the new zoom regions  710  and  720 . When the distance between the subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  is greater than or equal to the threshold distance, the camera  180  may generate the plurality of zoom regions  710  and  720 . 
     In operation  1160 , the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may determine whether a screen integration signal is detected. When the distance between the plurality of subjects (e.g., the plurality of subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  of  FIG.  4   ) is less than the threshold distance, the processor  120  may transmit the screen integration signal to the camera  180 . When the screen integration signal is detected (Yes in operation  1160 ), the camera  180  may proceed to operation  1170 . When the screen integration signal is not detected (No in operation  1160 ), the camera  180  may proceed with operation  1110  to reconfigure a screen depending on the number and a size of zoom regions to display a second image. 
     In operation  1170 , the camera  180  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may stop tracking the subjects  410 ,  420 , and  430  and may remove the zoom regions  710  and  720 . The camera  180  may end the zoom-in operation and may capture and display an image in a common way. 
       FIG.  12    is a drawing illustrating a method for displaying an image in an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device  101  of  FIG.  3 A ) according to an embodiment. 
     Referring to  FIG.  12   , in a method  1200 , in operation  1210 , a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may display a second image. When a distance between a first region (e.g., a first region  710  of  FIG.  7   ) and a second region (e.g., a second region  720  of  FIG.  7   ), which are adjacent to each other, among a plurality of sub-regions (e.g., the sub-regions  710  and  720  of  FIG.  7   ) is greater than or equal to a specified threshold distance, the processor  120  may display the second image generated based on the first region  710  and the second region  720 . 
     In operation  1220 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may identify whether the distance between the first region  710  and the second region  720  while displaying the second image is less than the threshold distance. A subject (e.g., a first subject  410  and a second subject  420  of  FIG.  7   ) included in the first region  710  and a subject (e.g., a third subject  430  of  FIG.  7   ) included in the second region  720  may move away from each other over the threshold distance and may then move close to each other below the threshold distance. The processor  120  may detect a situation where the distance between the first region  710  and the second region  720  is greater than or equal to the threshold distance to display the second image and then where the distance between the first region  710  and the second region  720  is less than the threshold distance. When the distance between the first region  710  and the second region  720  is greater than or equal to the threshold distance while the second image is displayed (No in operation  1220 ), the processor  120  may return to operation  1210  to continue displaying the second image. When the distance between the first region  710  and the second region  720  is less than the threshold distance while the second image is displayed (Yes in operation  1220 ), the processor  120  may proceed to operation  1230 . 
     In operation  1230 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may display a timer counting a specified waiting time together with the second image. The waiting time may be a time waiting while the second image is maintained before the second image returns to the first image. For example, the waiting time may be set to a time of greater than or equal to about 2 seconds and less than or equal to about 10 seconds. 
     In an embodiment, the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first region  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  may continue moving. The subjects  410  and  420  included in the first area  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  may be temporarily close to each other below the threshold distance and may be close to below the threshold distance such that a specified time elapses. Although the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first area  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  are temporarily close to each other, when the second image returns to the first image whenever a distance between the subjects  410  and  420  and the subject  430  is less than the threshold distance, power consumption may be wasted because a screen change and rearrangement is performed more than is necessary and it may be interrupted for a user to view an image by many screen changes. The processor  120  may maintain the second image before a waiting time elapses after displaying the second image, thus reducing power consumption and improving visibility of the image. 
     In an embodiment, the processor  120  may display a timer counting a waiting time together while displaying the second image. The timer may count down the waiting time from a time when the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first region  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  are close to each other. 
     In operation  1240 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may identify whether the waiting time counted by the timer elapses. The timer may count down the waiting time from a time when the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first region  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  are close to each other. The timer may reach “0” when the waiting time elapses. When the timer reaches “0”, the processor  120  may determine that the waiting time counted by the timer elapses. When the waiting time counted by the timer does not elapse (No in operation  1240 ), the processor  120  may maintain operation  1230  to display the timer counting the waiting time together while displaying the second image. When the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first region  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  move away from each other over the threshold distance before the timer  1310  reaches “0”, the processor  120  may be configured to initialize the waiting time. When the waiting time counted by the timer elapses (Yes in operation  1240 ), the processor  120  may proceed to operation  1250 . 
     In operation  1250 , the processor  120  of the electronic device  101  according to an embodiment may return to the first image. The processor  120  may detect that the timer displays “0” and the waiting time elapses. When the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first region  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  are kept less than the threshold distance although a specified time elapses, the processor  120  may display the original first image. 
       FIG.  13    is a drawing illustrating a second image and a timer according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  13   , in an embodiment, the second image may highlight a first region  710  and a second region  720  in image data  1300 . When a distance between subjects  410  and  420  included in a first region  710  and a subject  430  included in a second region  720  is less than a threshold distance while a second image is displayed, a timer  1310  may be displayed at one side of the second image. When a timer  1310  is displayed, an initial time may be a waiting time. For example, the initial time may be 3 seconds. When the distance between the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first region  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  is less than the threshold distance while the second image is displayed, the timer  1310  may count down time. When the timer  1310  reaches “0”, a processor (e.g., a processor  120  of  FIG.  3 A ) may determine that the waiting time elapses and may return the second image to a first image. When the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first region  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  move away from each other over the threshold distance before the timer  1310  reaches “0”, the processor  120  may be configured to stop the countdown of the timer  1310 . When the subjects  410  and  420  included in the first region  710  and the subject  430  included in the second region  720  move away from each other over the threshold distance before the timer  1310  reaches “0”, the processor  120  may be configured to initialize the timer  1310  to the waiting time and display the second image.
