Abstract
In general, techniques are described regarding adaptation of image capture modes to provide refined image capture capabilities. Cameras comprising image sensors configured to perform the techniques are also disclosed. An image sensor may use different image capture modes to capture frames of image data based at least in part on various operating conditions. For example, the processor can cause an image sensor to transition between image capture modes specifying different binning levels in the case that a digital zoom level satisfies a predefined threshold.
