Abstract: A photographing method, a photographing apparatus, and a terminal, where the method includes receiving a camera turn-on instruction, previewing a preview image collected by the camera based on the received camera turn-on instruction, where in a preview state, an operation mode of an image sensor of the camera is an average pixel combination mode, and photographing the preview image when detecting that luminance of at least one pixel in the preview image is less than a preset condition, where when the preview image is being photographed, the operation mode of the image sensor of the camera is a sum pixel combination mode. In this way, luminance of a photographed image can be increased, and a problem that an image cannot be photographed in low light can be resolved.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a shooting method and apparatus of an electronic device, and the electronic device. The shooting method of an electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present invention includes: enabling a front-facing camera to prepare for shooting; and when the front-facing camera is used to perform shooting, adjusting a pixel grayscale of a liquid crystal display to a set grayscale value and/or adjusting a color of the liquid crystal display to a set color, so as to supplement light to an object being photographed. In the embodiments of the present invention, a pixel grayscale and/or a color of a liquid crystal display are/is adjusted so as to supplement light to an object being photographed, thereby resolving a problem of a dim shooting effect of a front-facing camera.
