Abstract
A method for a zero shutter-lag (ZSL) mode of an image capture device includes, in response to detecting a first event indicative of the ZSL mode, setting the image capture device to the ZSL mode. Setting the image capture device to the ZSL mode includes setting a sensor of the image capture device to a first resolution that is higher than a second resolution of a non-ZSL mode, and setting a timer to expire after a predefined period. The method also includes, in response to the timer expiring after the predefined period, setting the image capture device to the non-ZSL mode. The non-ZSL mode cancels the ZSL mode.

A method for a zero shutter-lag (ZSL) mode of an image capture device, the method comprising:
- in response to detecting a first event indicative of the ZSL mode,
- setting the image capture device to the ZSL mode,
- wherein, setting the image capture device to the ZSL mode comprises:
- setting a sensor of the image capture device to a first resolution that is higher than a second resolution of a non-ZSL mode;
- setting a timer to expire after a predefined period;
- and
- in response to the timer expiring after the predefined period,
- setting the image capture device to the non-ZSL mode,
- wherein the non-ZSL mode cancels the ZSL mode.
An image capture device, comprising:
- a sensor;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to:
- in response to detecting a first event indicative of a zero shutter-lag (ZSL) mode,
- set the image capture device to the ZSL mode;
- and
- set a timer for the ZSL mode;
- and
- in response to the timer expiring,
- set the image capture device to a non-ZSL mode,
- wherein the non-ZSL mode cancels the ZSL mode, and
- wherein the image capture device operates in the ZSL mode at a higher resolution than in the non-ZSL mode.
A method for energy management of an image capture device, comprising:
- setting the image capture device to a first mode;
- setting a timer;
- and
- in response to the timer expiring, setting the image capture device to a second mode,
- wherein setting the image capture device to the second mode cancels the first mode, and
- wherein the image capture device consumes more energy in the first mode than in the second mode.
