A method for setting a camera for image capture, said method comprising the steps of: capturing an initial set of two or more evaluation images; assessing a plurality of characteristics of said initial set of evaluation images to provide a first assessment, said characteristics including subject motion vectors between at least two of said initial set of evaluation images; when said subject motion vectors are in excess of a predetermined threshold, setting a final capture state of said camera responsive to said first assessment; when said subject motion vectors are less than said predetermined threshold: (a) capturing one or more additional evaluation images after said capturing of said initial set of evaluation images; (b) determining said characteristics of said additional one or more images to provide a second assessment; (c) analyzing both said assessments; and (d) setting said final capture state of said camera responsive to said analyzing.
