Embodiments of this application provide an image obtaining method and a terminal device. When the terminal device moves, a motion sensor collects motion data of the terminal device, and sends the motion data to an optical image stabilization OIS controller and an electronic image stabilization EIS controller, where the terminal device includes the motion sensor, the OIS controller, the EIS controller, and an image sensor. The OIS controller controls, based on the motion data, a lens of the terminal device to move. The image sensor collects an image sequence. The EIS controller performs, by using movement information of the lens and the motion data, jitter compensation on the image sequence collected by the image sensor, so that stability of an obtained image can be improved.
