Methods and apparatus for image capturing are provided. A first camera mounted on a rear side of a mobile terminal, and a second camera mounted on a front side of a mobile terminal, are driven in an image capturing mode. A user's face is detected in a second image generated by the second camera. An alarm is generated that indicates that a first image is out of an intended image capturing area, when the user's face is not detected in the second image and when a difference is detected between the first image and a reference first image.
