Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a digital zoom function configured to form an output image, a sensor and optics configured to produce a primary image, a display in which the primary image is arranged to be cropped in connection with the digital zoom function in order to form said output image, a user interface configured to set more than one size limit for the output image before the sensor and the optics produce the primary image, wherein a first size limit and a second size limit of said more than one size limit are set for each output image, and an image processor configured to set a size for said output image based on the cropping of the primary image at least in part of a digital zoom range, wherein the image processor is configured to perform scaling operations for the cropped primary image in which the scaling operations depend on the size of the cropped primary image in relation to at least said first size limit and said second size limit.
