The embodiment of the invention provides a camera flow starting control method and
electronic equipment, and relates to the technical field of terminals. The problem of display lagging caused in the process that the
electronic equipment is switched from a single-
stream mode to a multi-
stream mode is solved. According to the specific scheme, a first
image frame from a first camera is displayed; when a first condition is met, the second camera is controlled to start
stream, and the first condition comprises the operation that a user indicates that the
zoom magnification is configured to be a first
magnification value, the difference value between the first threshold value and the first
magnification value is smaller than a preset value, and the first magnification value is smaller than the first threshold value, or the first threshold value is smaller than the preset value; the difference value between the first magnification value and a second threshold value is smaller than a preset value, the second magnification value is larger than the second threshold value, the first threshold value is the minimum value of the focal section of the second camera, and the second threshold value is the maximum value of the focal section of the second camera; and after the first image output instruction is detected, displaying a second
image frame collected by the first camera, and discarding a third
image frame collected by the second camera.
