Abstract
Video or image capture device and method of operation of the capture device are described. One example method includes determining, for a video capture by a capture device, a capture orientation mode setting of the capture device, capturing a video using one of a first camera or a second camera based on the capture orientation mode and a current orientation of the capture device, wherein the video is in the capture orientation mode, and storing, after capturing, the video in a video file.
Claims19
A method of camera operation, comprising:
- capturing, using a capture device comprising a first user-facing camera configured for a selfie-mode capture and a second user-facing camera configured for the selfie-mode capture, a video in a selfie-mode using one of the first camera or the second camera based on a capture orientation mode and a current orientation of the capture device;
- and
- storing, after capturing, the video in a video file;
- wherein changes in the current orientation due to transient rotation of the capture device that occurs within a specified time window are ignored during the capturing, and wherein, during the capturing, frames of the video that are captured while the capture device is at a tilt greater than a threshold are tagged and subsequently presented to a user for keeping or deleting the tagged frames.

A video capture device, comprising:
- a first user-facing camera configured to capture a landscape mode video in a selfie-mode;
- a second user-facing camera configured to capture a portrait mode video in the selfie-mode;
- an orientation sensor configured to detect a current orientation of the video capture device;
- a user interface;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control a selfie video capture session using one of a first camera or a second camera based on the capture orientation mode and the current orientation of the capture device;
- and
- store the video into a memory associated with the video capture device;
- wherein changes in the current orientation due to transient rotation of the video capture device that occurs within a specified time window are ignored during the capturing, and wherein, during the capturing, frames of the video that are captured while the video capture device is at a tilt greater than a threshold are tagged and subsequently presented to a user for keeping or deleting the tagged frames.
