The invention discloses an image acquisition method and electronic equipment and belongs to the technical field of computers. The method includes the following steps that in the image acquisition period, the first movement state of the electronic equipment is obtained; first movement information corresponding to the first movement state of the electronic equipment is extracted; second movement information is worked out according to the first movement information; an image acquisition unit is adjusted according to the second movement information, and the second movement state of the image acquisition unit is obtained; images acquired by the image acquisition unit in the period of the second movement state are obtained. In the image acquisition period, the image acquisition unit is adjusted according to the first movement state of the electronic equipment, and therefore influences caused on the acquired images when the electronic equipment jitters are reduced; the problem that because electronic equipment is prone to jittering in the prior art, video images acquired by the electronic equipment are poor in quality is solved; the influences caused on the acquired images during jittering can be reduced, and the quality of the images is improved.
