Providing optimized digital images
First Claim
1. A method for providing an optimized digital image, comprising:
- obtaining digital image data by a digital image capture device;
based on said digital image data, automatically determining at least two setting types, and a plurality of setting values therefor, for capturing a plurality of digital images;
automatically capturing said plurality of digital images using said digital image capture device, each said image being captured with at least one setting value different than another of said images; and
providing an optimized digital image based on said plurality of digital images.

Abstract
An exemplary method for providing an optimized digital image comprises obtaining digital image data by a digital image capture device, based on the digital image data, automatically determining at least two setting types, and a plurality of setting values therefor, for capturing a plurality of digital images, automatically capturing the plurality of digital images using the digital image capture device, each image being captured with at least one setting value different than another image, and providing an optimized digital image based on the plurality of digital images. In one exemplary embodiment, the optimized image is selected from the plurality of digital images. In another exemplary embodiment, the optimized image is synthesized based on the plurality of digital images.
