A method for reducing overexposure or underexposure in a time-lapse includes acquiring, using an image capture device, a first frame of the time-lapse using a first exposure setting; and acquiring, using the image capture device, a second frame of the time-lapse. The first frame of the time-lapse is acquired under a first luminance condition. The second frame of the time-lapse is acquired under a second luminance condition that is different from the first luminance condition. The second frame of the time-lapse is acquired using an exposure setting that is determined based on respective exposure settings of one or more preview images obtained between the first frame of the time-lapse and the second frame of the time-lapse. The one or more preview images are not included in the time-lapse.

Optimized exposure temporal smoothing for time-lapse mode

An image capture device may detect presence of an on-housing hand within a periphery of a field of view of an optical element during capture of visual content through the optical element. The image capture device may generate an alarm to indicate the presence of the on-housing hand within the periphery of the field of view of the optical element.

Detection of hand obstruction for image capture device

A processor of a camera for capturing a time-lapse is configured to acquire a first frame of the time-lapse; calculate an exposure setting for a second frame of the time-lapse; and acquire the second frame of the time-lapse using the exposure setting. The exposure setting prevents a flickering effect in the time-lapse. The exposure setting is determined using one or more preview images that are previewed in a time gap between the first frame and the second frame.

Generating a time-lapse is disclosed. A method includes acquiring, using a camera, a first frame of the time-lapse; acquiring, using the camera, one or more preview images, the preview images are not included in the time-lapse; determining an exposure setting for a second frame of the time-lapse using the one or more preview images; and acquiring, using the camera, the second frame of the time-lapse using the exposure setting. A camera includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to acquire a first frame of the time-lapse; acquire one or more preview images, the preview images are not included in the time-lapse; determine an exposure setting for a second frame of the time-lapse using the one or more preview images; and acquire the second frame of the time-lapse using the exposure setting.
