A method provides techniques for reducing object interference in a multi-camera system. The method includes selecting, by at least one processor of an electronic device, a first image capturing device having a first field of view (FOV) and that produces first image content. In response to detecting a partial occlusion of the first image capturing device by an object while the first image capturing device is receiving first image content, the at least one processor determines a zoom factor sufficient to remove the object from the received first image content. The processor then performs a zoom operation, based on the zoom factor, such that the object causing the partial occlusion of the first image capturing device is removed from subsequently received image content.
