Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, with an image sensor of an image capture device, scene frames for a scene to be captured by the image capture device; automatically adjusting, by an auto-exposure algorithm, exposure settings of the scene frames to be captured; displaying, on a touch-sensitive display of the image capture device, at least one scene frame for the scene to be captured; receiving, on the touch-sensitive display, a touch gesture; adjusting, by the auto-exposure algorithm, exposure settings for the scene to be captured by focusing on a portion of the scene frames in an area of focus around a location of the touch gesture; displaying the scene frames to be captured according to the auto-exposure settings that are adjusted by the touch gesture; displaying, upon receiving the touch gesture, a bounding shape substantially centered on the area of focus; displaying a slider element substantially adjacent to the bounding shape; receiving, on the touch-sensitive display, a slide gesture using the slider element for manually adjusting the auto-exposure settings for the scene frames for the scene to be captured based on the auto-exposure settings for the portion of the scene frames in the area of focus; and displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, the scene frames for the scene to be captured using the manually adjusted exposure settings as adjusted by the slide gesture.
