Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for generating a high dynamic range (HDR) image from a plurality of frames simultaneously captured by cameras of a portable device. The method includes detecting, by a main camera of the portable device, a current dynamic range level of a current scene. In response to detecting the current dynamic range level, a main camera exposure compensation value is applied to the main camera and an auxiliary camera exposure compensation value, which is different from the main camera exposure compensation value, is applied to at least one auxiliary camera. The method further includes simultaneously capturing a first frame by the main camera and at least one second frame by at least one auxiliary camera. The method further includes combining the first frame and the at least one second frame to create the HDR image.
