1. An electronic device comprising:
a first camera having a first field-of-view;
a second camera having a second field-of-view wider than the first field-of-view;
a field-of-view movement optical element configured to control a path of light incident to the first camera so as to move the first field-of-view;
a display comprising a first area and a second area smaller than the first area;
memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions; and
one or more processors electrically connected to the first camera, the second camera, the field-of-view movement optical element, the display, and the memory,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
obtain a first image corresponding to the first field-of-view through the first camera,
obtain a second image corresponding to the second field-of-view through the second camera,
determine a third image corresponding to a partial area of the second image based on a range in which the first field-of-view is movable,
display the first image on the first area of the display,
display the third image on the second area of the display,
while the electronic device is not moving, receive a user input with respect to one point of the second area of the display,
control, in response to the user input, the field-of-view movement optical element so that a subject corresponding to the one point of the second area is located within the first field-of-view, and
display, on the first area of the display, an image obtained through the first camera and corresponding to a movement of the first field-of-view according to the control of the field-of-view movement optical element.
