Systems and methods for capturing digital images

A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor instruct the processor to:

• determine at least one ambient exposure parameter;
• determine at least one flash exposure parameter based on the at least one ambient exposure parameter;
• capture, via at least one camera module, an ambient image at a first resolution;
• capture, via the at least one camera module, a flash image at a second resolution according to the at least one flash exposure parameter, wherein the first resolution is different than the second resolution;
• store the captured ambient image and the captured flash image;
• and
• combine the captured ambient image and the captured flash image to generate a first merged image.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• determining, using a processor, at least one ambient exposure parameter;
• determining, using the processor, at least one flash exposure parameter based on the at least one ambient exposure parameter;
• capturing, via at least one camera module, an ambient image at a first resolution;
• capturing, via the at least one camera module, a flash image at a second resolution according to the at least one flash exposure parameter, wherein the first resolution is different than the second resolution;
• storing the captured ambient image and the captured flash image;
• and
• combining, using the processor, the captured ambient image and the captured flash image to generate a first merged image.
