Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an electronic device and a recording method thereof. The electronic device may comprise: a touch screen; an image sensor for capturing an image; a processor operatively connected to the touch screen and the image sensor; and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to designate at least a partial screen area of the touch screen as a motion detection area, determine whether a motion is detected in the motion detection area, and control the image sensor, in response to detecting the motion in the motion detection area, so as to perform super slow recording. Various other embodiments are also possible.
