Multi capture settings of multi light parameters for automatically capturing multiple exposures in digital camera and method

A method of automatically capturing multiple exposures via an electronic camera, the method comprising:

• providing an image sensor configured to capture an electronic image;
• providing an input system comprising a shutter mechanism configured to be actuated in response to a stroke for selectively allowing light to reach the image sensor;
• providing a display configured to present the electronic image;
• and
• providing a controller configured to control the shutter mechanism and the image sensor, the controller comprising a processor and a memory having computer-readable code embodied therein which, when executed by the processor, causes the controller to:
• open the shutter mechanism,
• allow light to reach the image sensor for an exposure,
• cause the image sensor to capture a first digital image of a scene using a first capture setting in response to the stroke,
• cause the image sensor to capture a second digital image of the scene using a second capture setting in response to the stroke,
• wherein the first capture setting includes a first setting of a low-end value in a first range for a first variable being one of an aperture, a shutter speed, an ISO sensor grain, and
• wherein the second capture setting includes a second setting of a high-end value in the first range for the first variable.

An electronic camera comprising:

• an image sensor configured to capture an electronic image;
• a shutter mechanism for selectively allowing light to reach the image sensor;
• and
• a controller configured to control the shutter mechanism and the image sensor, the controller comprising a processor and a memory having computer-readable code embodied therein which, when executed by the processor, causes the controller to:
• open the shutter mechanism,
• allow light to reach the image sensor for an exposure,
• automatically cause the image sensor to capture a first digital image of a scene using a first capture setting,
• automatically cause the image sensor to capture a second digital image of the scene using a second capture setting,
• wherein the first capture setting includes a first value of at least one of an aperture parameter, a shutter speed parameter, an ISO sensor grain parameter, and
• wherein the second capture setting includes a second value of the at least one of the aperture parameter, the shutter speed parameter, the ISO sensor grain parameter.
