Abstract:
“Programmed manual modes” mimic the processes a digital camera user goes through manually, but at the speed of the processor built in the camera. Each program preferably includes an exposure condition and a set of exposure parameters, with each exposure parameter having a plurality of exposure settings and a plurality of exposure setting priorities. The processor automatically applies an exposure value from each exposure setting and determines if the exposure condition is met. If the exposure condition is met, the processor captures and stores the image. If not, the processor applies a different exposure value and determines if the exposure condition is met based on the different exposure value.

Claim (Index 39):
A method of taking a picture, comprising the steps of:\n setting as an active shooting mode, a user-created, programmed manual mode from a memory of a digital camera, wherein:\n the user-created, programmed manual mode comprises an exposure condition and a set of shooting parameters; \n each shooting parameter comprises at least one exposure setting and a parameter priority; \n each range of exposure settings comprises an upper limit and a lower limit; and \n each parameter priority defines an order in which the shooting parameters are automatically adjusted, relative to each other; \n automatically applying the shooting parameters of the user-created, programmed manual mode in a sequence based on the parameter priority associated with each shooting parameter, wherein the shooting parameters are applied by adjusting each applied shooting parameter within its range of exposure settings until the exposure condition is met or, if the range of exposure settings is exhausted without meeting the exposure condition, advancing the sequence of applying the shooting parameters to a different shooting parameter; and taking a picture and storing the picture in memory in response to the exposure condition of the active shooting mode being met.
