Disclosed herein are a mobile terminal and an operating method thereof. The mobile terminal includes a short-range communication module configured to perform short-range communication with an omnidirectional capture device for capturing an omnidirectional image, a display unit configured to display the omnidirectional image received through the short-range communication module and to receive user input, and a controller configured to set an area, in which a moving image is generated, in the omnidirectional image and to generate the moving image in the set area. Therefore, it is possible to acquire the moving image of the moving object in the omnidirectional image.
