The technical problem of enhancing the quality of an image captured in low light conditions by a front facing camera is addressed by providing an adaptive front flash system. An adaptive front flash system automatically adjusts configuration parameters of an overlaid view that operates in lieu of a front flash, termed a front flash view. The configuration parameters are adjusted based on characteristics of the output of the digital image sensor of the front facing camera. Examples of configuration parameters of the front flash view include one or more of brightness of the display, color temperature of the front flash view, and transparency of the front flash view.

An apparatus includes an imaging unit, a setting unit configured to set automatic modes, an adjustment unit configured to adjust a white balance of a signal based on an automatic mode set by the setting unit, a recording control unit configured to record the adjusted signal into a recording unit, a display control unit configured to display the adjusted signal on a display unit, and an acquisition unit configured to acquire ambient light information, wherein the display control unit further adjusts a color balance of the displayed signal based on the set automatic mode and the acquired ambient light information.

A system control unit controls an imaging operation of an imaging unit based on an instruction from a user. Further, the system control unit detects a subject in an imaging range, The system control unit records the contents of the control of the operation of the imaging unit based on the instruction from the user in chronological order as operation information. The system control unit records information corresponding to a result of the detection of the subject in chronological order as detection information in association with the operation information. The system control unit reproduces the contents of the control of the operation of the imaging unit in chronological order based on the recorded operation information. Further, the system control unit controls a speed of the reproduction based on the recorded information.

Systems and methods for tagging portions a spherical video segment are provided. The spherical video segment may include visual content. User input indicating a moment in time in the spherical video segment and a viewing angle corresponding to the moment in time may be received. Tag information for the spherical video segment may be generated. The tag information may identify the moment in time and the viewing angle such that a subsequent presentation of the spherical video segment, proximate to the moment in time, includes a notification that the viewing angle is outside a display field of view based on the viewing angle being located outside the display field of view.

Among other things, a user interface device has a sensor configured to detect, at a wrist of a human, nerve or other tissue electrical signals associated with an intended contraction of a muscle to cause a rapid motion of a finger. An output provides information representative of the nerve or other tissue electrical signals associated with the intended contraction of the muscle to an interpreter of the information.

Systems and methods are provided for performing operations including receiving, via a messaging application, a request to scan an image captured by a camera of the user device; determining an attribute of an object depicted in the image; identifying, from a plurality of augmented reality items, an augmented reality item that is associated with the attribute of the object; combining the identified augmented reality item with the image captured by the camera; and displaying, via the messaging application, the image captured by the camera combined with the identified augmented reality item.

Described are a content operation method, a terminal, and a storage medium. The content operation method includes: displaying a camera interface; wherein the camera interface contains a target thumbnail, the target thumbnail being a thumbnail corresponding to a target content, the target content including a recently taken photo or video; displaying at least one shortcut operation control near to the target thumbnail, in response to a trigger operation on the target thumbnail; wherein each shortcut operation control is configured to trigger a certain operation on the target content; and displaying a target content operation interface in response to a trigger operation on a target shortcut operation control of the at least one shortcut operation control; wherein the target content operation interface corresponds to the target shortcut operation control, and the target content operation interface contains the target content.

A photographing method in a telephoto scenario and a mobile terminal are disclosed, which are related to the field of communications technologies, so as to improve sharpness of a photographed object in an image, blur a background, highlight the photographed object, and improve an overall visual effect of the image. The method specifically includes: in a telephoto photographing scenario, when a mobile terminal display a preview or photographed image, recognizing a target photographed object and a background of the target photographed object based on the image collected by a camera; and improving image sharpness of an area in which the target photographed object is located, and adding a blurring effect to the image of the area in which the background of the target photographed object is located.

Provided are an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program capable of changing assignment of functions to a plurality of operation units according to a use environment of the imaging device. An imaging device (1) includes: a plurality of operation units (265) provided on a plurality of surfaces of a device main body (101), respectively, and capable of being assigned functions; a memory (267) that stores assignment information indicating a relationship between a use environment and assignment of the functions to the plurality of operation units (265); and a processor (301), in which the processor (301) performs use environment determination processing of determining the use environment of the imaging device, and assignment setting processing of setting the assignment of the functions to the plurality of operation units on the basis of the assignment information of the memory, according to a result of the use environment determination processing.

Certain embodiments provide an imaging method for a non-line-of-sight object and an electronic device. In certain embodiments, the method includes: detecting a first input operation; and generating first image data in response to the first input operation. The first image data is imaging data of the non-line-of-sight object obtained by fusing second image data and third image data. The first image data includes position information between the non-line-of-sight object and a line-of-sight object. The second image data is imaging data of the line-of-sight object captured by the optical camera. The third image data is imaging data of the non-line-of-sight object captured by the electromagnetic sensor.
