Claim:
1. A method of capturing an image with an electronic device, comprising: checking a battery status of the electronic device; reducing a resolution of the image to be captured by an image sensor of the electronic device to a low power reduced resolution when a battery level of the electronic device is less than a battery threshold level; disabling, without turning off the electronic a live preview of the image to be captured by the image sensor on a display of the electronic device when the battery level of the electronic device is less than the battery threshold level; displaying a static low power screen on the display of the electronic device instead of displaying the live preview of the image to be captured by the image sensor on the display of the electronic device when the battery level of the electronic device is less than the battery threshold level; capturing the image at the low power reduced resolution of the image sensor when the battery level of the electronic device is less than the battery threshold level and simultaneously displaying, on the entire display of the electronic device, the static low power screen; and providing a low power feedback notification from the electronic device without displaying the captured image to indicate that the image is captured when the battery level of the electronic device is less than the battery threshold level.
