The invention discloses an automatic shooting method and system of a wearable device. The system comprises an eyeball movement detection module, a calculation module, a shooting module and a storage module. The eyeball movement detection module is used for detecting eyeball movement and outputting eyeball movement data; the calculation module is used for identifying eyeball pauses according to the eyeball movement data and outputting the line-of-sight direction formed during eyeball pausing and a shooting instruction; after receiving the shooting instruction, the shooting module conducts focusing according to the line-of-sight direction formed during eyeball pausing and then starts to shoot, and a picture is output; the storage module is used for storing the picture. When a person sees a thing with eyes, a picture can be seen clearly after the eyes are turned to fixed positions first, pause and then are focused. The method and system simulate the process, pauses in eye movement are detected, the line-of-sight direction formed during eyeball pausing is identified, automatic focusing is carried out, automatic shooting is conducted for recording, the real view field of a user can be recorded more truly and efficiently, and pictures seen by human eyes can be restored in real time.
