The present invention discloses a method of capturing images and an image capturing device using the method. The image capturing device has a first lens module and a second lens module having a view angle which is smaller than that of the first lens module. The method comprises: increasing an exposure time and reducing a light sensitivity value of the first lens module and capturing a first image by using the first lens module; reducing the exposure time and increasing the light sensitivity value of the first lens module and capturing a second image by using the second lens module; extracting a plurality of image features from the first image and the second image respectively and determining a region corresponding to the second image in the first image; and merging the second image into the region in the first image to generate an output image.
