Method and apparatus for recording video sequences

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer program code configured to, when executed on at least one processor, cause an apparatus or a system to:

• receive a first instruction, which defines the position of a first boundary with respect to a preview image,
• receive a second instruction, which defines the position of a second boundary with respect to the preview image, which defines a framing path, or which defines a tracking mode,
• determine the position of a first sensor portion according to the position of the first boundary,
• determine the position of a second sensor portion according to the second instruction,
• provide first sensor data by forming a first optical image on an image sensor after receiving the second instruction,
• provide second sensor data by forming a second optical image on the image sensor after the first optical image has been formed,
• determine a first image frame from the first sensor data obtained from the first sensor portion,
• determine a second image frame from the second sensor data obtained from the second sensor portion, and
• store and/or transmit the first image frame and the second image frame.

An apparatus comprising at least one processor, a memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:

• receive a first instruction, which defines the position of a first boundary with respect to a preview image,
• receive a second instruction, which defines the position of a second boundary with respect to the preview image, which defines a framing path, or which defines a tracking mode,
• determine the position of a first sensor portion according to the position of the first boundary,
• determine the position of a second sensor portion according to the second instruction,
• provide first sensor data by forming a first optical image on an image sensor after receiving the second instruction,
• provide second sensor data by forming a second optical image on the image sensor after the first optical image has been formed,
• determine a first image frame from the first sensor data obtained from the first sensor portion,
• determine a second image frame from the second sensor data obtained from the second sensor portion, and
• perform at least one of store or transmit the first image frame and the second image frame.
