Abstract
An image capture device may buffer video footage in a memory buffer before a command to record video is received. The image capture device may present a progression of color along a path to reflect the amount of buffered video footage. When the command to record the video is received, the video may be generated to include both buffered video footage and the video footage captured after the command.
Claims20
An image capture device for visually indicating buffered amount of video, the image capture device comprising:
- a housing;
- an image sensor carried by the housing and configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content;
- an optical element carried by the housing and configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor;
- a display configured to visually present information;
- and
- one or more physical processors carried by the housing, the one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- buffer the visual content;
- present a buffered-amount element on the display, the buffered-amount element providing information on an amount of the buffered visual content;
- detect activation of a trigger to capture the visual content;
- and
- responsive to the activation of the trigger:
- capture the visual content using the buffered visual content;
- and
- change a color of the buffered-amount element to visually indicate change in operation of the image capture device from the buffering of the visual content to the capture of the visual content.
A method for visually indicating buffered amount of video, the method performed by an image capture device, the image capture device including one or more processors, an image sensor, an optical element, and a display, the image sensor configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content, the optical element configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor, the display configured to visually present information, the method comprising:
- buffering the visual content;
- presenting a buffered-amount element on the display, the buffered-amount element providing information on an amount of the buffered visual content;
- detecting activation of a trigger to capture the visual content;
- and
- responsive to the activation of the trigger:
- capturing the visual content using the buffered visual content;
- and
- changing a color of the buffered-amount element to visually indicate change in operation of the image capture device from the buffering of the visual content to the capture of the visual content.
