Combining video streams having different information-bearing levels

An electronic device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a non-transitory memory;
• a camera system;
• one or more input devices;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the non-transitory memory and are configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for performing or causing performance of a method comprising:
• recording, using the camera system, a first video stream characterized by a first value of a first quality characteristic;
• and
• in response to detecting, via the one or more input devices, a capture input:
• obtaining a first image frame characterized by a second value of a second quality characteristic, wherein the second value of the second quality characteristic is indicative of a higher quality than the first value of the first quality characteristic, and wherein the first image frame includes scene information also included in the first video stream;
• storing the first video stream in a buffer;
• and
• generating a second image frame by adding information from the first image frame to the first video stream, wherein the second image frame corresponds to a higher quality version of the first video stream, and wherein generating the second image frame by adding the information from the first image frame to the first video stream includes retrieving the first video stream from the buffer.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by an electronic device comprising a camera system and one or more input devices, cause the electronic device to perform or cause performance of a method comprising:

• recording, using the camera system, a first video stream characterized by a first value of a first quality characteristic;
• and
• in response to detecting, via the one or more input devices, a capture input:
• obtaining a first image frame characterized by a second value of a second quality characteristic, wherein the second value of the second quality characteristic is indicative of a higher quality than the first value of the first quality characteristic, and wherein the first image frame includes scene information also included in the first video stream;
• storing the first video stream in a buffer;
• and
• generating a second image frame by adding information from the first image frame to the first video stream, wherein the second image frame corresponds to a higher quality version of the first video stream, and wherein generating the second image frame by adding the information from the first image frame to the first video stream includes retrieving the first video stream from the buffer.
