Abstract
An image capture device may include a display for presenting controls. The controls may be used by a user to operate the image capture device in capturing visual content. A control customization interface may include interface feature(s) that enables selection of one or more selectable controls for inclusion in a set of controls. Based on user interaction with the control customization interface, the set of controls may be determined and presented on the display.
Claims20
An image capture device for capturing visual content, the image capture device comprising:
- a housing;
- an optical element carried by the housing and configured to guide light within a field of view to an image sensor;
- the 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 the visual content;
- a display carried by the housing and configured to present a set of controls for controlling the capture of the visual content;
- one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- present a control customization interface on the display, the control customization interface including multiple portions corresponding to multiple control positions on the display, wherein the multiple portions include a first portion corresponding to a first control position and a second portion corresponding to a second control position different from the first control position, the control customization interface including a first interface feature that enables selection of one or more of selectable controls for inclusion in the set of controls in one or more of the multiple control positions based on user interaction with one or more of the corresponding portions of the control customization interface, the selectable controls including a first selectable control and a second selectable control different from the first selectable control;
- determine user interaction with the control customization interface;
- determine the set of controls based the user interaction with the control customization interface;
- and
- present the set of controls on the display, the set of controls presented differently on the display than the multiple portions of the control customization interface corresponding to the multiple control positions, wherein visual appearance of the set of controls on the display is different from visual appearance of the multiple portions of the control customization interface corresponding to the multiple control positions.
A method for capturing visual content, the method performed by an image capture device including one or more processors, an optical element, an image sensor, and a display, the optical element configured to guide light within a field of view to an image sensor, the image sensor configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining the visual content, and the display configured to present a set of controls for controlling capture of the visual content, the method comprising:
- presenting a control customization interface on the display, the control customization interface including multiple portions corresponding to multiple control positions on the display, wherein the multiple portions include a first portion corresponding to a first control position and a second portion corresponding to a second control position different from the first control position, the control customization interface including a first interface feature that enables selection of one or more of selectable controls for inclusion in the set of controls in one or more of the multiple control positions based on user interaction with one or more of the corresponding portions of the control customization interface, the selectable controls including a first selectable control and a second selectable control different from the first selectable control;
- determining user interaction with the control customization interface;
- determining the set of controls based the user interaction with the control customization interface;
- and
- presenting the set of controls on the display, the set of controls presented differently on the display than the multiple portions of the control customization interface corresponding to the multiple control positions, wherein visual appearance of the set of controls on the display is different from visual appearance of the multiple portions of the control customization interface corresponding to the multiple control positions.
