Provided is a mobile terminal including a main body, first and second cameras that are arranged on the front and rear sides of the main body, respectively, a sensing unit that senses the extent to which the main body moves when driving the first and second cameras, and a controller that when a panorama photographing mode is selected, drives the first and second cameras at the same time in such a manner that the first and second cameras capture their respective images depending on movement of the main body, and when the extent of the sensed movement of the main body falls out of a reference range, stops photographing and connects first images captured by the first camera and second images captured by the second camera to generate at least one panorama picture. The rotation of the main body within a reference range enables a panorama picture to be generated.
