Abstract

Technologies are generally described herein for generating a higher resolution still frame. Some example technologies may configure a video camera at a first configuration, which the video camera to capture video at a first pixel offset. The technologies may capture a first frame of al field-of-view through the video camera configured at the first configuration. The first flame may contain the field-of-view captured at the first pixel offset. The technologies may adjust the video camera from the first configuration to a second configuration, which adapts the video camera to capture the video at a second pixel offset, the adjustment using a hardware mechanism. The technologies may capture a second frame of the field-of-view through the video camera configured at the second configuration. The second frame may contain the field-of-view captured at the second pixel offset.
