A mobile terminal comprising: a camera ; a touch screen configured to display an executed screen of a note application; a controller configured to: in response to a first touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application, designate an initial area on the executed screen of the note application based on the first touch input, wherein the first touch input is a drag touch input; characterized in that the controller is further configured to: when a pre-set touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application is sensed after the initial area is designated, designate further areas (252b-252d) corresponding to the number of times of sensing the pre-set touch input on the executed screen of the note application; and when a first area and a second area among the initial area and the further designated areas (252b-252d) are designated by a further touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application, operate the camera to sense a preview image from the outside to receive the same, and display a first portion of the preview image in the designated first area and a second portion of the preview image in the designated second area. a camera ; a touch screen configured to display an executed screen of a note application; a controller configured to: in response to a first touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application, designate an initial area on the executed screen of the note application based on the first touch input, wherein the first touch input is a drag touch input; characterized in that the controller is further configured to: when a pre-set touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application is sensed after the initial area is designated, designate further areas (252b-252d) corresponding to the number of times of sensing the pre-set touch input on the executed screen of the note application; and when a first area and a second area among the initial area and the further designated areas (252b-252d) are designated by a further touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application, operate the camera to sense a preview image from the outside to receive the same, and in response to a first touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application, designate an initial area on the executed screen of the note application based on the first touch input, wherein the first touch input is a drag touch input; characterized in that the controller is further configured to: when a pre-set touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application is sensed after the initial area is designated, designate further areas (252b-252d) corresponding to the number of times of sensing the pre-set touch input on the executed screen of the note application; and when a first area and a second area among the initial area and the further designated areas (252b-252d) are designated by a further touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application, when a pre-set touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application is sensed after the initial area is designated, designate further areas (252b-252d) corresponding to the number of times of sensing the pre-set touch input on the executed screen of the note application; and when a first area and a second area among the initial area and the further designated areas (252b-252d) are designated by a further touch input applied to the executed screen of the note application, operate the camera to sense a preview image from the outside to receive the same, and display a first portion of the preview image in the designated first area and a second portion of the preview image in the designated second area. <EOS>
