Methods and apparatuses for capturing multiple digital image frames

An apparatus comprising:

• a digital camera;
• at least one memory comprising camera settings;
• a processor communicably coupled with the digital camera and the at least one memory and configured to control operation of the digital camera together with the camera settings stored in the at least one memory;
• and
• a user interface for at least one of inputting and adjusting the camera settings, wherein the user interface enables a user to manually define an image capture sequence comprising:
• a first camera setting input including a value for at least two different capture parameters, and storing the first camera setting input in the image capture sequence to be used for capturing a first digital image frame;
• and
• a second camera setting input including a value for at least two different capture parameters, and storing the second camera setting input in the image capture sequence to be used for capturing a second digital image frame,
• wherein the processor is configured to store the so formed image capture sequence in the at least one memory, and to control the digital camera to capture a bracketing sequence of digital image frames using the first camera setting input and the second camera setting input such that a first set of image frames of the bracketing sequence are captured using the first camera setting input or the second camera setting input, and wherein a second set of the image frames of the bracketing sequence are captured using both the first camera setting input and the second camera setting input, wherein the second set of the image frames are captured subsequent to the first set of the image frames.

A method, comprising:

• providing a user interface for at least one of inputting and adjusting camera settings associated with a digital camera, wherein the user interface enables a user to manually define an image capture sequence;
• receiving, by a processor, a first camera setting input provided by the user using the user interface, the first camera setting input including at least one first capture parameter value and a first number of digital image frames to capture using the at least one first capture parameter value;
• storing, by the processor, the first camera setting input in the image capture sequence;
• receiving, by the processor, a second camera setting input provided by the user using the user interface, the second camera setting input including at least one second capture parameter value and a second number of digital image frames to capture using the at least one second capture parameter value;
• storing, by the processor, the second camera setting input in the image capture sequence;
• and
• causing, by the processor, a capture of a bracketing sequence of digital image frames by the digital camera using the first camera setting input and the second camera setting input such that a first set of image frames of the bracketing sequence are captured using the first camera setting input or the second camera setting input, and wherein a second set of the image frames of the bracketing sequence are captured using both the first camera setting input and the second camera setting input, wherein the second set of the image frames are captured subsequent to the first set of the image frames.
