1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a plurality of cameras, wherein the plurality of cameras have a magnification-adjustable section different from each other;
a memory; and
a processor operatively connected to the display, the plurality of cameras, and the memory,
wherein the memory stores instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to:
identify a camera magnification of each of the plurality of cameras in response to an execution of a camera application of the electronic device,
receive a first user input for adjusting a camera magnification of a specific camera among the plurality of cameras,
display a scrollable user interface (UI) for adjusting the camera magnification in response to receiving the first user input, wherein the scrollable UI includes a specific section corresponding to the specific camera among the different magnification-adjustable sections, and each of the different magnification-adjustable sections is corresponding to a camera magnification of a different camera among the plurality of cameras,
calculate a scroll speed on the displayed scrollable UI by using an acceleration factor corresponding to the received first user input or a second user input received on the specific section corresponding to the specific camera among the different magnification-adjustable sections, and an input speed of the first user input or the second user input,
adjust the camera magnification of the specific camera among the plurality of cameras by using the calculated scroll speed,
display a related camera magnification UI including a plurality of magnification icons based on frequently used camera magnifications,
adjust the camera magnification in response to receiving a touch input to the related camera magnification UI, wherein adjusting the camera magnification includes identifying the specific camera among the plurality of cameras, and using the identified specific camera for adjusting a camera magnification, and
highlight, based on identifying that the adjusted camera magnification using the calculated scroll speed is identical to a camera magnification assigned to one of the plurality magnification icons, the one of the plurality magnification icons,
wherein each of the different magnification-adjustable sections is displayed to have a predetermined number of gradations and to have a different length,
wherein a camera magnification of the specific camera among the plurality of cameras is set to change in response to a user input moving along the gradations and being received on the specific section corresponding to the camera magnification of the specific camera and based on an amount of the number of gradations along which the user input moves,
wherein the number of gradations along which the user input moves is set to increase in proportion to the length of in the specific section
wherein an interval of the gradations is same across all sections, and
wherein the length of the specific section is set as the number of gradations in the specific section multiplied by the interval of the gradations.
