Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of dynamic region of interest adaptation and image capture device providing same. In one embodiment, there is a method of operating an image capture device. One or more regions within a real-time image may be used to set one or more user-defined regions of interest (ROIs) within the real-time image for applying one or more first image acquisition parameters. The one or more user-defined ROIs are cancelled and one or more default ROIs within the real-time image for applying one or more second image acquisition parameters are set when a position of the image capture device has changed by an amount which exceeds a threshold amount. Digital image data is acquired by the digital image sensor in accordance with one of the one or more user-defined ROIs and the one or more default ROIs.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for processing of data captured by an image sensor in bust mode at two different quality levels. The data processed at the higher quality level is stored in a buffer memory until the higher quality processing is performed.

Abstract: The technology includes processor-implemented methods, computer program products, and electronic devices for media module control. Media module zoom specifications are requested. Media module zoom specifications comprising zoom range are received. The received zoom range is divided into n discrete steps. A zoom bar is presented comprises an indicator of increasing zoom direction, an indicator of decreasing zoom direction, and a slider bar is presented. The slider bar is disposed substantially between the indicators. The slider bar displays zoom level as one of the n discrete steps from a first step equal to no zoom level, and an nth step equal to full zoom level. User input regarding a zoom level is received. Zoom is performed on the displayed image. The relative zoom level is displayed in the zoom bar.

Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated method, for a mobile device, or other portable electronic device, tags a captured image with geographical indicia. The mobile device includes camera functionality to capture an image. A determination is made of the geographic positioning of the mobile device at, or close to, the time at which the image is captured. A geographical indicia is associated with the geographic positioning. And, the geographical indicia is used to tag the image, such as to provide a name to the image file containing the image.

Abstract: A touch screen on a camera is provided. The touch screen comprises a button, wherein removal of contact from the button by lifting contact from the touch screen causes a photograph to be taken, and wherein removal of contact from the button by maintaining contact with the touch screen while moving contact to a portion of the touch screen other than the button causes a photograph not to be taken.
