Abstract

Media user interfaces are described, including user interfaces for capturing media (e.g., capturing a photo, recording a video), displaying media (e.g., displaying a photo, playing a video), editing media (e.g., modifying a photo, modifying a video), accessing media controls or settings (e.g., accessing controls or settings to capture photos or videos to capture videos), and automatically adjusting media (e.g., automatically modifying a photo, automatically modifying a video).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display device;
one or more cameras;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the display device, a camera user interface, the camera user interface including:
a camera display region, the camera display region including a representation of a field-of-view of the one or more cameras; and
a camera control region, the camera control region including a plurality of camera mode affordances at a first location;

while displaying the camera user interface, detecting a first gesture on the camera user interface; and
in response to detecting the first gesture, modifying an appearance of the camera control region, including:
in accordance with a determination that the first gesture is a gesture of a first type, displaying one or more additional camera mode affordances at the first location; and
in accordance with a determination that the first gesture is a gesture of a second type different from the first type, ceasing to display the plurality of camera mode affordances and displaying a plurality of camera setting affordances at the first location, wherein the camera setting affordances are settings for adjusting image capture for a currently selected camera mode.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the camera control region includes an affordance for displaying the plurality of camera setting affordances, and wherein the gesture of the second type is a selection of the affordance for displaying the plurality of camera setting affordances.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the gesture of the second type is movement of a contact in the camera display region.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the gesture of the first type is movement of a contact on at least one of the plurality of camera mode affordances.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
detecting a second gesture on the camera user interface corresponding to a request to display a first representation of previously captured media; and
in response to detecting the second gesture, displaying a first representation of the previously captured media.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while not displaying a representation of previously captured media, detecting capture of first media using the one or more cameras; and
in response to detecting the capture of the first media:
displaying one or more representations of captured media, including a representation of the first media.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of camera setting affordances include an affordance for configuring the electronic device to capture media that, when displayed, is displayed with a first aspect ratio in response to a first request to capture media.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the electronic device is configured to capture media that, when displayed, is displayed with a first aspect ratio, receiving a second request to capture media;
in response to receiving the second request to capture media, displaying a representation of the captured media with the first aspect ratio;
receiving a request to change the representation of the captured media with the first aspect ratio to a representation of the captured media with a second aspect ratio; and
in response to receiving the request to change the representation of the captured media with the first aspect ratio to the representation of the captured media with the second aspect ratio, displaying the representation of the captured media with the second aspect ratio.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the representation of the captured media with the second aspect ratio includes visual content not present in the representation of the captured media with the first aspect ratio.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the representation of the field-of-view of the one or more cameras is displayed at a first zoom level, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the representation of the field-of-view of the one or more cameras is displayed at the first zoom level, receiving a first request to change the zoom level of the representation; and
in response to receiving the first request to change the zoom level of the representation:
in accordance with a determination that the request to change the zoom level of the representation corresponds a request to increase the zoom level of the representation, displaying a second representation field-of-view of the one or more cameras at a second zoom level larger than the first zoom level; and
in accordance with a determination that the request to change the zoom level of the representation corresponds a request to decrease the zoom level of the representation, displaying a third representation field-of-view of the one or more cameras at a third zoom level smaller than the first zoom level.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the representation of the field-of-view of the one or more cameras is displayed at a fourth zoom level, receiving a second request to change the zoom level of the representation; and
in response to receiving the second request to change the zoom level of the representation:
in accordance with a determination that the fourth zoom level is the second zoom level, displaying a fourth representation of the field-of-view of the one or more cameras at the third zoom level;
in accordance with a determination that the fourth zoom level is the third zoom level, displaying a fifth representation of the field-of-view of the one or more cameras at the first zoom level; and
in accordance with a determination that the fourth zoom level is the first zoom level, displaying a sixth representation of the field-of-view of the one or more cameras at the second zoom level.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the camera user interface includes displaying an affordance that includes a graphical indication of a status of capture setting, and wherein the gesture of the second type corresponds to a selection of the graphical indication.

13. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the plurality of camera setting affordances at the first location includes:
in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is configured to capture media in a first camera mode while the gesture of the second type was detected, displaying a first set of camera setting affordances at the first location; and
in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is configured to capture media in a second camera mode that is different than the first camera mode while the gesture of the second type was detected, displaying a second set of camera setting affordances at the first location that is different than the first set of camera setting affordances.

14. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the first set of camera setting affordances includes a first camera setting affordance and the second set of camera setting affordances includes the first camera setting affordance.

15. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein first camera mode is a still photo capture mode and the first set of camera setting affordances includes on
