Abstract
A method of and an apparatus for taking an image of a mobile terminal. A shooting direction of the mobile terminal is recognized. When the recognized shooting direction is not a reference direction and an image is taken, a direction of an image stored in a storage unit is matched with a direction of a preview image. Therefore, since an image displayed on a preview screen, desired by a user, is stored, additional editing of the image is not required and user convenience is improved.
