Image capture systems capable of ensuring clear images are provided, in which an image capture module senses at least one image, and an operational module performs a compensation to the image capture system according to a modulation transfer function (MTF) value corresponding to the image, such that the image capture system can be operated under an optimized total gain thereby ensuring clear images.

Image capture methods and systems compensated to have an optimized total gain

A camera having a shutter button, a photo sensor array, an anti-shake module controlled by an anti-shake enable signal, and a mechanical shutter. By pressing the shutter button, a first operation and a second operation are provided to trigger an auto-focus enable signal and an image exposure control signal, respectively. The anti-shake enable signal is enabled when the auto-focus enable signal has been triggered and the image exposure control signal is disabled or has just been triggered. The photo sensor array performs image exposure according to the image exposure control signal. The mechanical shutter is disabled and closed after the image exposure control signal is triggered for exposure period.

Camera

A control system for compensating for image shake of an image capture device is provided, including a shake compensating module, a shake compensating switch, a control unit, and a shutter control element operated between a first operating stage and a second operating stage. The shake compensating switch is switched between an active state to enable the shake compensating module and an inactive state to disable the shake compensating module. The control unit enables the shake compensating module when the shake compensating switch is in the active state. The control unit produces a reset signal to disable the shake compensating module when the shutter control element is in the second operating stage before the shake compensating switch is switched to the inactive state. The control unit enables the shake compensating module after a specific period of time from when the shake compensating module was disabled.
