Abstract

An electronic device includes two cameras each with a light sensor. The electronic device uses the light sensor of one of the two cameras which is operational to detect an ambient luminance, and determines if the detected ambient luminance is less than a preset shading value. In response to the detected ambient luminance being less than the preset shading value, the electronic device interchanges the cameras to work. That is, the electronic device powers down the one of the two cameras which is operational and activating the other one of the two cameras.
