The present invention discloses a method for image pickup and an image pickup device using the same. The image pickup device includes a lens, an image-processing program, and a user interface. The lens is utilized to obtain a main image by shooting an object. The image-processing program divides the main image into a plurality of sub-image blocks, computes the resolution of every sub-image block, and compares each resolution with a threshold. The user interface displays the compared result of each sub-image block to indicate if the lens and the object are parallel.
