Abstract
Image-exposure systems and methods are disclosed. One embodiment of the system includes a motion detecting device, and logic configured to determine when to terminate an image-exposure based on detected motion of a camera.
Claims32
An image-exposure method, comprising:
- detecting motion by a motion detecting device;
- and
- determining when to terminate an image exposure based on pre-exposure detected motion of a camera, wherein the image exposure is not terminated in response to detecting camera motion associated with following a moving subject, and the image exposure is terminated in response to detecting motion that is not associated with the camera following the moving subject.
An image-exposure system, comprising:
- a motion detecting device;
- a user interface configured to present a plurality of priority selection interfaces to a user, each of the priority selection interfaces enabling at least one fixed parameter and automatic setting of other parameters, the plurality of priority selection interfaces including a motion interface, a shutter interface, an aperture interface, and a sensor gain interface;
- and
- logic configured to determine, responsive to user selection of one of the plurality of priority selection interfaces, when to terminate an image exposure based on pre-exposure detected motion of a camera.
1 more element
An image-exposure system, comprising:
- means for detecting motion;
- means for presenting a plurality of priority selection interfaces to a user, each of the priority selection interfaces enabling at least one fixed parameter and automatic setting of other parameters, the priority selection interfaces comprising a motion interface, a shutter interface, an aperture interface, and a sensor gain interface;
- and
- means for terminating, responsive to a user activating the motion interface, an image exposure based on whether a threshold level of pre-exposure detected motion of a camera has occurred.
1 more element
A computer program for controlling image exposure, the computer program being stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer program comprising:
- logic configured to detect motion;
- and
- logic configured to terminate an image exposure based on pre-exposure detected motion of a camera, wherein the image exposure is only terminated for unintentional motion.
