A camera mode controlling method using a pressure detection sensor and a mobile communication terminal for performing the method are provided to turn off LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) backlight when a camera module is driven, and to enter a preview mode, then to maintain the off-state of the LCD backlight if a user does not press a camera button at more than certain strength in the preview mode, thereby reducing current consumption. Entrance of a camera mode is requested(S210). A mobile communication terminal enters the camera mode, and displays a preview screen which displays an image of an object(S220). The terminal senses strength of a camera button being pressed by using a pressure detection sensor, compares the sensed strength with the first and third preset threshold values, and controls so that different modes can be carried out according to the compared results(S230-S280).
