Abstract

A digital camera having a plurality of photography modes, comprising: an imaging sensor; an optical system for imaging a scene onto the imaging sensor; an image capture control for initiating an image capture operation; a photography mode user interface for selecting between a plurality of photography modes, the photography modes having associated image capture and image processing settings; a power control for turning the digital camera on or off, wherein when the camera is in an off state and the power control is activated with a first activation pattern the digital camera is turned on and set to operate in a default photography mode and when the power control is activated with a second activation pattern the digital camera is turned on and set to operate in a previously selected photography mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is in the field of digital cameras, and more particularly relates to the automatic selection of photography modes. Background technique [0002] Digital cameras have been a consumer product for decades with a number of operating features including, but not limited to, exposure control, white balance, autofocus, and the like. As cameras have increased in complexity, so have the actions required by a user to operate a digital camera. [0003] Most digital cameras have multiple photography modes that can be selected by the user to control the image capture process and various elements of the image processing chain. Examples of typical photography modes include Smart Capture, Portrait, Sports, Landscape, Macro, Sunset, Backlight, Kids, Bright, Self-Portrait, Night Portrait, Night Scene, High ISO, and Panorama. Various methods have been described to select the appropriate photography mode and control other digital camera functions. ...
