Abstract
The invention is directed to determining compensation distance for capturing an image in a zoom mode using a camera. An exemplary method comprises determining the camera is in a non-zoom mode; receiving first depth information associated with an object in the image when the camera is in the non-zoom mode; receiving first angle information associated with the object in the image when the camera is in the non-zoom mode; switching from the non-zoom mode to a zoom mode; receiving second angle information associated with the object in the image when the camera is in the zoom mode; determining a compensation distance for capturing the image of the object in the zoom mode based on the first depth information, the first angle information, and the second angle information; and generate an image based on the compensated distance.
