Original Abstract Submitted

A foldable electronic device may include: a foldable housing foldable along at least one axis; a first display disposed on a first surface of the foldable housing; a second display disposed on a second surface of the foldable housing; a first camera; a second camera; at least one sensor; a memory; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: provide a first preview to the first display by using the first camera in a folded state; receive a region configuration input for the first preview through the first display; after the reception of the region configuration input, sense unfolding of the foldable electronic device by using the at least one sensor; and provide a second preview corresponding to the region configuration input through the second display by using the second camera in an unfolded state. In addition, various other embodiments can be understood through the specification.
