An apparatus for a camera with a lens barrel and a barrel driving unit.
The apparatus includes an eye-shaped lens barrel, a vertical driving
unit, a horizontal driving unit, a rotation-position sensing unit, a
coordinate input unit, and a controller. The vertical driving unit
rotates the eye-shaped lens barrel about a vertical axis in response to a
vertical rotation control signal. The horizontal driving unit rotates the
eye-shaped lens barrel about a horizontal axis in response to a
horizontal rotation control signal. The rotation-position sensing unit
generates a rotation-position data in response to the rotation of the
eye-shaped lens barrel. The coordinate input unit generates an input
coordinate data according to a manipulating action of a user. The
controller generates the vertical rotation control signal and the
horizontal rotation control signal according to the input coordinate data
and the rotation-position data.
