Method and apparatus for controlling video recording

An apparatus for controlling video recording, wherein the apparatus is applied to a head-wearable device which is provided with a camera and a touch-control area, and the apparatus comprises:

• a processor and a memory for storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• start video recording in response to a multi-touch operation on the touch-control area, wherein one touch point is formed where each finger touches the touch-control area, a user can complete the multi-touch operation with no more than two fingers;
• adjust, in a process of the video recording, a zoom ratio for the video recording according to a moving track of a touch point corresponding to the multi-touch operation;
• and
• terminate the video recording if it is determined that a recording termination condition is met, wherein the recording termination condition comprises that the multi-touch operation disappears and a duration of the disappearing reaches a first preset duration;
• wherein the processor-executable instructions further cause the processor to:
• perform a photographing operation and maintain the video recording, in the process of the video recording, when a part of touch points disappears and then recovers within a fourth preset time.
