Abstract
A method and a camera perform processing functions based on a preliminary frame of light before capturing a second frame of light that forms a final camera image. After the light for the final image is captured, additional post-capture processing is performed on image data produced from that light. The results of the pre-capture processing are combined with the results of the post-capture processing to produce a final set of image data.
