A method for performing an operation in an electronic device, the method comprising: obtaining a plurality of images through consecutive imaging by using a camera unit of the electronic device; comparing the plurality of images to determine regions in the plurality of images where motion is occurring; synthesizing the regions in the plurality of images to create content, the content capable of being played to illustrate motion; in response to detecting that a control information setting menu is selected by a user, displaying a control information setting screen; based on input information which is input by the user via the control information setting screen, setting at least two playback schemes for the content such that each playback scheme is activated in response to different types of input which comprise a first type of input and a second type of input, wherein a first playback scheme is activated in response to the first type of input, and a second playback scheme is activated in response to the second type of input; and when a content executing event for the content occurs: in response to detecting an input, determining if a playback scheme corresponding to a type of the detected input exists among the at least two playback schemes set for the content; if a playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input exists, playing back the content according to the playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input; and if a playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input does not exist, generating at least one of a warning message and a warning sound. obtaining a plurality of images through consecutive imaging by using a camera unit of the electronic device; comparing the plurality of images to determine regions in the plurality of images where motion is occurring; synthesizing the regions in the plurality of images to create content, the content capable of being played to illustrate motion; in response to detecting that a control information setting menu is selected by a user, displaying a control information setting screen; based on input information which is input by the user via the control information setting screen, setting at least two playback schemes for the content such that each playback scheme is activated in response to different types of input which comprise a first type of input and a second type of input, wherein a first playback scheme is activated in response to the first type of input, and a second playback scheme is activated in response to the second type of input; and when a content executing event for the content occurs: in response to detecting an input, determining if a playback scheme corresponding to a type of the detected input exists among the at least two playback schemes set for the content; if a playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input exists, playing back the content according to the playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input; and if a playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input does not exist, generating at least one of a warning message and a warning sound. in response to detecting an input, determining if a playback scheme corresponding to a type of the detected input exists among the at least two playback schemes set for the content; if a playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input exists, playing back the content according to the playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input; and if a playback scheme corresponding to the type of the detected input does not exist, generating at least one of a warning message and a warning sound.
