A method for focusing on an object to capture an image of that object is provided. The method includes obtaining the travel time between the point in time that an ultrasonic signal is sent and the point in time at which the reflected signal is received. The method also includes obtaining environment information of the electronic device based on location/position information. The method further includes determining local sound speed according to environment information and determining the distance to an object using the local sound speed and the travel time. In addition, the method can include focusing on the object according to the object distance.

Systems and methods for focusing on objects to capture images thereof

Techniques and implementations related to automatic image capture during preview, as well as recommendation of images, are described. A method for operating an electronic apparatus may involve receiving a stream of one or more preview images in a preview mode of the electronic apparatus. The method may also involve determining whether any preview image of the stream of preview images is valuable. The method may further involve controlling an operation of the electronic apparatus in response to the determining.

Automatic image capture during preview and image recommendation

An electronic device and a method for setting a sensor are provided. The electronic device includes a sensor and a processor. The processor is coupled to the sensor and configured to calculate a plurality of groups of candidate sensor settings every calculation cycle, wherein each calculation cycle includes one or more frames, and each of the groups of candidate sensor settings corresponds to one respective frame of the calculation cycle. Every frame of the calculation cycle, the processor is further configured to determine a respective group of adoptable sensor settings for each frame of the calculation cycle according to the plurality of groups of candidate sensor settings, wherein the respective group of adoptable sensor settings is for provision to set a sensor.

Electronic device, processor and method for setting a sensor

A photographic system and an associated image tuning method are provided. The image tuning method includes the steps of: capturing an image by an image sensor of the photographic system; analyzing an image content of the captured image to obtain a plurality of candidate images using a preference search strategy; providing the plurality of candidate images for selection by a user of the photographic system; determining an output image based on one of the candidate images selected by the user; and adjusting the preference search strategy by using the user's selection.
