The method includes: an electronic device displays a preview interface; detects a first operation used to start burst shooting; obtains N images; then performs scene recognition based on K images that meet an image quality screening condition, to determine a shooting scene; and finally determines M images based on the shooting scene, where N is greater than or equal to K, N is greater than or equal to M, N and K are positive integers greater than 1, and M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. This technical solution helps improve quality of an image obtained by the electronic device through screening, thereby improving user satisfaction with an image that is automatically obtained through screening during burst shooting by the electronic device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: displaying, by an electronic device comprising a camera and a display, a preview interface on the display, wherein the preview interface displays an image captured by the camera;
