Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces. In some examples, the electronic device transitions between user interfaces for capturing photos based on data received from a first camera and a second camera. In some examples, the electronic device provides enhanced zooming capabilities that result in visual pleasing results for a displayed digital viewfinder and for captured videos. In some examples, the electronic device provides user interfaces for transitioning a digital viewfinder between a first camera with an applied digital zoom to a second camera with no digital zoom. In some examples, the electronic device prepares to capture media at various magnification levels. In some examples, the electronic device enhanced capabilities for navigating through a plurality of values.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a first camera, a second camera, and a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
concurrently displaying, on the display:
a user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the first camera that includes displaying a digital viewfinder with a first magnification; and
an affordance for modifying the magnification of photos captured by the device using one or more of the first and second cameras;

detecting activation of the affordance;
in response to detecting activation of the affordance:
ceasing to display, on the display, the user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the first camera; and
displaying, on the display, a user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the second camera that includes displaying a digital viewfinder with a second magnification that is greater than the first magnification.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
detecting a user input in the digital viewfinder;
in response to detecting the user input:
displaying, on the display, a zoom control; and
performing a zoom of the digital viewfinder in accordance with the user input.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the user input corresponds to a pinch gesture in the digital viewfinder.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the user input corresponds to a drag gesture in the digital viewfinder.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the user input corresponds to a swipe gesture in the digital viewfinder.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the zoom control includes a zoom indicator affordance.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the zoom control includes a plurality of locations corresponding to a plurality of magnification levels, and wherein a first location of the plurality of locations corresponds to a first optical magnification level and a second location of the plurality of locations corresponds to a second optical magnification level that is different from the first optical magnification level.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
detecting a gesture corresponding to the zoom control, the gesture having a direction and a length;
in response to detecting the gesture corresponding to the zoom control and in accordance with the direction being a first direction, performing a zoom-out of the digital viewfinder at a speed based on the magnitude of the gesture; and
in response to detecting the gesture corresponding to the zoom control and in accordance with the direction being a second direction different from the first direction, performing a zoom-in of the digital viewfinder at a speed based on the magnitude of the gesture.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the affordance for modifying the magnification is displayed in accordance with a determination that the electronic device includes a plurality of cameras with overlapping fields of view.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
detecting a second activation of the affordance for modifying the magnification;
in response to detecting the second activation of the affordance for modifying the magnification:
ceasing to display, on the display, the user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the second camera; and
displaying, on the display, the user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the first camera that includes displaying the digital viewfinder with the first magnification.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the displayed zoom control fades out in response to detecting an input lift-off signal associated with the user input in the digital viewfinder and wherein the displayed affordance for modifying the magnification does not fade out in response detecting the input lift-off signal associated with the user input in the digital viewfinder.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein displaying, on the display, the zoom control includes replacing display of the affordance for modifying the magnification with display of the zoom control.

13. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a first camera, a second camera, and a display:
concurrently displaying, on the display:
a user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the first camera that includes displaying a digital viewfinder with a first magnification; and
an affordance for modifying the magnification of photos captured by the device using one or more of the first and second cameras;

detecting activation of the affordance;
in response to detecting activation of the affordance:
ceasing to display, on the display, the user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the first camera; and
displaying, on the display, a user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the second camera that includes displaying a digital viewfinder with a second magnification that is greater than the first magnification.

14. An electronic device, comprising:
a first camera;
a second camera;
a display;
one or more processors; and
a memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
concurrently displaying, on the display:
a user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the first camera that includes displaying a digital viewfinder with a first magnification; and
an affordance for modifying the magnification of photos captured by the device using one or more of the first and second cameras;

detecting activation of the affordance;
in response to detecting activation of the affordance:
ceasing to display, on the display, the user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the first camera; and
displaying, on the display, a user interface for capturing photos based on data received from the second camera that includes displaying a digital viewfinder with a second magnification that is greater than the first magnification.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
detecting a user input in the digital viewfinder;
in response to detecting the user input:
displaying, on the display, a zoom control; and
performing a zoom of the digital viewfinder in accordance with the user input.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the user input corresponds to a pinch gesture in the digital viewfinder.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the user input corresponds to a drag gesture in the digital viewfinder.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the user input corresponds to a swipe gesture in the digital viewfinder.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the zoom control includes a zoom indicator affordance.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the zoom control includes a plurality of locations corresponding to a plurality of magnification levels, and wher
