Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems, device, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for enabling semi-manual media capture. Semi-manual media capture can involve calculating optimal exposure settings in an auto-exposure loop, displaying a scene with optimal exposure settings in real time, receiving a manual adjust gesture, and adjusting the scene, in real time, based on the manual adjust gesture.

First claim

We claim:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, with an image sensor of an image capture device, scene frames for a scene to be captured by the image capture device;
automatically adjusting, by an auto-exposure algorithm, exposure settings of the scene frames to be captured;
displaying, on a touch-sensitive display of the image capture device, at least one scene frame for the scene to be captured;
receiving, on the touch-sensitive display, a touch gesture;…
