1. An apparatus comprising: a memory configured to store an exposure data associated with a first image captured from a sensor prior to said apparatus entering a power down state; a motion detector configured to initiate (i) a capture of a second image using said stored exposure data and (ii) a power on of one or more input sensors configured to gather information during a system boot time after said apparatus exits said power down state; and a processor configured to determine if said stored exposure data from said first image is usable to calibrate exposure data used to capture future images from said sensor based on said information, wherein (i) said future images are captured without calculating said exposure data if said stored exposure data is determined to be usable and (ii) said determination of whether said stored exposure data is usable occurs during all or part of the time during the capture of said second image.
