The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for setting a shooting parameter. The method includes displaying a digital color temperature adjusting key and at least one scenario color temperature adjusting key in a menu bar on the touch screen, receiving a tapping signal on a digital color temperature adjusting key displayed on a touch screen, displaying a scrolling list according to the tapping signal. A first set of n color temperature values are displayed in the scrolling list and one color temperature value in the n color temperature values is in an active state. The method further includes receiving a scrolling signal associated with the scrolling list, scrolling the first set of n color temperature values to display a second set of n color temperature values in the scrolling list in response to the scrolling signal, and selecting as the shooting parameter a color temperature value which is in an active state. The present disclosure may solve the problem that the number of scenario adjusting modes is limited and a user is not able to adjust the color temperature values of all the scenarios.
