- and
- disabling the first camera and enabling the second camera to capture images when the first camera is covered.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a first surface;
- a second surface;
- a first camera, disposed at the first surface;
- a second camera, disposed at the second surface;
- and
- a processor, electrically connected to the first camera and the second camera, wherein the processor is used for enabling or disabling the first camera or the second camera, wherein when the first camera captures images and the processor detects the first camera is covered, the processor disables the first camera and enables the second camera.
