Claim One:
1. An image processing method applied in an electronic device comprising an input key, an image sensor module, and a display, the method comprising the following steps of: launching an image-capture application via the input key; capturing at least one first image frame by the image sensor module before the image-capture application is fully launched; storing the at least one first image frame in a first buffer; capturing at least one second image frame by the image sensor module responsive to the image-capture application being fully launched; storing the at least one second image frame in a second buffer; displaying a user interface corresponding to the image-capture application on the display responsive to the image-capture application being fully launched; and receiving an image operation input corresponding to a request for image capture; wherein if the image operation input is received before the image-capture application is fully launched, the at least one first image frame is encoded for output from the first buffer to a memory module, and if the image operation input is received after the image-capture application is fully launched, the at least one second image frame is encoded for output from the second buffer to the memory module and the at least one first image frame is not encoded for output.
