Abstract
The ability of a user to acquire satisfactory images in varying imaging conditions can be improved by enabling the user to select one or more scene settings that are appropriate for current conditions. In some embodiments, a camera instructed to capture an image can instead capture multiple images, each with different camera settings corresponding to a respective scene setting. The user can then view at least some of these images, and select one or more images that appeal to the user. In some embodiments, this selection process can be used to determine the appropriate settings for the current conditions, and then enable the user to capture images using those settings. The user can also customize, change the selection of, or obtain additional scene settings.
