Abstract

A method and a multi-camera system for obtaining pictures with improved image quality. At least two cameras are used for each capturing an image, and a fast shooting mode is employed. The fast shooting mode may work in a preprocessing mode, in which the captured image of highest sharpness is acquired as a final picture, or may work in a post processing mode, in which multiple captured images are acquired, and are then post-processed to obtain a final picture of high image quality. In both modes it may be automatically determined, whether to activate the fast shooting mode or not. The determination is based on a relative movement of the multi-camera system to an object of interest, or is based on a shooting behavior of the user.
