1. A method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus including a 3D touch panel, the method comprising:
- determining plane coordinate information of an object over the 3D touch panel;
designating a subject area corresponding to the determined plane coordinate information of the object of an image input to the digital photographing apparatus;
determining depth information of the object over the 3D touch panel;
performing a photographing preparation operation with respect to a first image including the subject area, and according to the determined depth information of the object; and
capturing a second image including the subject area in relation to which the photographing preparation operation is performed.

Abstract
Provided are a digital photographing apparatus including a 3D touch panel through which various manipulation signals of a photographer are input, and a method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus. Accordingly, not only plane coordinates information of an object is determined but also a distance between the object and the digital photographing apparatus is recognized as depth information to thereby control execution of a predetermined operation according to the depth information.
