Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces. In some examples, the electronic device provides for transitioning between simulated lighting effects. In some examples, the electronic device applies a simulated lighting effect to an image. In some examples, the electronic device provides user interfaces for applying a filter to an image. In some examples, the electronic device provides for a reduced filter interface. In some examples, the electronic device provides a visual aid displayed in a viewfinder.
Claims48
An electronic device, comprising:
- a camera;
- a sensor;
- a display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, via the display, a camera viewfinder for capturing media;
- and
- while displaying the camera viewfinder:
- in accordance with a determination, based on data from the sensor, that the device meets alignment-guide display criteria, wherein the alignment-guide display criteria include a requirement that a relative difference between an orientation of a plane of focus of the camera and a predetermined orientation is within a respective alignment threshold in order for the alignment-guide display criteria to be met, displaying, via the display, an alignment guide in the camera viewfinder, wherein an appearance of the alignment guide changes as the orientation of the plane of focus of the camera changes relative to the predetermined orientation;
- in accordance with a determination, based on data from the sensor, that the alignment-guide display criteria are not met, forgoing displaying the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder;
- detecting a movement of the device while the alignment guide is displayed;
- and
- in response to detecting the movement of the device:
- in accordance with a second determination, based on data from the sensor, that the device meets the alignment-guide display criteria, maintain display, via the display, of the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder;
- and
- in accordance with a second determination, based on data from the sensor, that the alignment-guide display criteria are no longer met, ceasing to display, via the display, the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a camera, a sensor, and a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, via the display a camera viewfinder for capturing media;
- and
- while displaying the camera viewfinder:
- in accordance with a determination, based on data from the sensor, that the device meets alignment-guide display criteria, wherein the alignment-guide display criteria include a requirement that a relative difference between an orientation of a plane of focus of the camera and a predetermined orientation is within a respective alignment threshold in order for the alignment-guide display criteria to be met, displaying, via the display, an alignment guide in the camera viewfinder, wherein an appearance of the alignment guide changes as the orientation of the plane of focus of the camera changes relative to the predetermined orientation;
- in accordance with a determination, based on data from the sensor, that the alignment-guide display criteria are not met, forgoing displaying the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder,
- detecting a movement of the device while the alignment guide is displayed;
- and
- in response to detecting the movement of the device:
- in accordance with a second determination, based on data from the sensor, that the device meets the alignment-guide display criteria, maintain display, via the display, of the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder;
- and
- in accordance with a second determination, based on data from the sensor, that the alignment-guide display criteria are no longer met, ceasing to display, via the display, the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder.

A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with a camera, a sensor, and a display:
- displaying, via the display a camera viewfinder for capturing media;
- and
- while displaying the camera viewfinder:
- in accordance with a determination, based on data from the sensor, that the device meets alignment-guide display criteria, wherein the alignment-guide display criteria include a requirement that a relative difference between an orientation of a plane of focus of the camera and a predetermined orientation is within a respective alignment threshold in order for the alignment-guide display criteria to be met, displaying, via the display, an alignment guide in the camera viewfinder, wherein an appearance of the alignment guide changes as the orientation of the plane of focus of the camera changes relative to the predetermined orientation;
- in accordance with a determination, based on data from the sensor, that the alignment-guide display criteria are not met, forgoing displaying the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder;
- detecting a movement of the device while the alignment guide is displayed;
- and
- in response to detecting the movement of the device:
- in accordance with a second determination, based on data from the sensor, that the device meets the alignment-guide display criteria, maintain display, via the display, of the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder;
- and
- in accordance with a second determination, based on data from the sensor, that the alignment-guide display criteria are no longer met, ceasing to display, via the display, the alignment guide in the camera viewfinder.
