Patent ID: 7738018

Claim:
An image capture control method, comprising: (A) capturing automatic exposure environmental data; (B) calculating initial shutter exposure period (t) and initial sensitivity (ISO) according to the environmental data; (C) capturing the image according to the initial shutter exposure period (t) and the initial sensitivity (ISO) when the initial shutter exposure period (t) is not larger than a predetermined period (T); (D) modifying parameters for image capture to obtain a final shutter exposure period (t′) and a final sensitivity (ISO′) when the initial shutter exposure period exceeds the predetermined period; and (E) capturing the image with the final shutter exposure period (t′) and processing the captured image with the final sensitivity (ISO′), wherein step (D) further comprises, if the initial shutter exposure period t exceeds a first period, setting the final exposure period (t′) and the final sensitivity (ISO′) by the formula: t′=t/ 3; ISO′= 3 *ISO, wherein ISO represents the initial sensitivity.
