The present invention relates to an apparatus for selecting a shooting mode of a camera for a mobile phone, which is configured to move in steps when a photographing mode is selected in a terminal having a camera lens module.

In general, the term “portable communication device” refers to a device that a user can carry and perform wireless communication with a counterpart. Such portable communication devices are referred to as HHP, CT-2 cellular phones, digital phones, PCS phones and PDAs, and are classified into various types in appearance. For example, wireless terminals are classified into bar-type, flip-type, or folder-type wireless terminals according to their appearance. The bar-type wireless terminal means that the single housing is configured as a bar-type, and the flip-type wireless terminal means that the flip or cover is rotatably configured by the hinge device in the bar-type housing. The terminal means that the folder is rotatably connected to the single bar-shaped housing by a hinge device and configured in a folding manner.

In addition, in the conventional portable communication device for video call, a known camera lens module must be essentially mounted to the portable terminal in order to photograph a subject. The known camera lens module is composed of a camera lens, a CD element and a circuit for transmitting a signal of the element.

A bar lens or flip type terminal is also used with a camera lens module mounted in a main body housing. In addition, a notebook lens and a PDA have a camera lens module mounted on the main body housing in the same structure.

As such, the user wants a high function of the camera lens module, and the trend is that the camera lens module that can perform a variety of additional functions in addition to the mobile phone.

In addition, recently, a mobile phone having a high pixel lens has been released to enable a user to capture a sharp subject, and to implement functions of various shooting modes included in a digital camera.

However, a mobile terminal having a conventional camera lens module should select a shooting mode function when taking a macro shot, a subject, and a background image through a lens, but the mobile phone does not have a mode switching device and presses a key button provided on the terminal It was inconvenient when switching shooting modes.

In addition, since the user needs to press a key button of the terminal, it is difficult to select an accurate shooting mode function, and there is a disadvantage in that a click feeling for selection is also reduced.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve a conventional problem as described above. To provide.

Another object of the present invention, by configuring a device capable of sliding step by step when selecting a shooting mode in the terminal equipped with a camera lens module, to shoot the camera for a mobile phone to improve the click feeling according to the movement when selecting the shooting mode of the product It is to provide a mode selection device.
