Abstract

An electronic device includes a display, a camera, and a processing device. The processing device is configured to determine whether (i) a user's face or eyes are within the camera's field of view or (ii) a gaze of the user is directed towards the display. The processing device is also configured, in response to determining that (i) the user's face or eyes are not within the camera's field of view or (ii) the gaze of the user is not directed towards the display, to modify a user interface button presented on the display. The user interface button may represent a shutter button configured to cause the camera or another camera of the electronic device to capture one or more images.
