1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
a memory;
a plurality of image sensor circuits comprising:
a first image sensor circuit and a second image sensor circuit disposed on one surface of the housing, and
the plurality of image sensor circuits configured to support capturing image based on a first frame rate and a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate; and
at least one processor operatively connected to the first image sensor circuit and the second image sensor circuit,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
control the first image sensor circuit to output first frame data associated with a first field of view at a first frame rate from a first time point to a second time point, obtain the output first frame data, and store the obtained first frame data in the memory,
obtain a signal indicating completion of the outputting of the first frame data from the first image sensor circuit,
control, based on the obtained signal, the second image sensor circuit to output second frame data associated with a second field of view at the first frame rate from a third time point after the second time point to a fourth time point, obtain the output second frame data, and store the obtained second frame data in the memory,
obtain the stored first frame data and the stored second frame data from the memory,
display, based on the obtained first frame data, a first preview image associated with the first field of view and display, based on the obtained second frame data, a second preview image associated with the second field of view,
based on reception of an input for selecting the first preview image while displaying the first preview image and the second preview image, control the first image sensor circuit to output at least one piece of third frame data associated with the first field of view at the second frame rate faster than the first frame rate, and
based on the at least one piece of third frame data, generate a first video associated with the first field of view.
