Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device may include: a camera; a display; and at least one processor electrically connected to the camera and the display. The at least one processor may: display, on the display, as a preview image, an image acquired by driving the camera; determine a first region in the preview image to be a main region; by varying the field of view of the camera, acquire, according to a predetermined sequence, a plurality of images corresponding to the respective plurality of fields of view; acquire a first image for the first region by using the camera; and generate a result image on the basis of the acquired plurality of images and first image, wherein at least a portion of the first image may overlap with at least one of the plurality of images. Other various embodiments are possible as identified in the specification.
