Abstract
A video-capture device is configured to determine when it is disposed on a supporting surface and, in response, automatically adjust one or more device settings to optimize the device settings for automatic mode. In various embodiments, a sensor, such as a grip sensor, an inertial sensor, or a pressure sensor included in the video-capture device, or an optical flow algorithm that quantifies visible shake may be used to detect when the video-capture device is disposed on the supporting surface. Automatically adjusting the settings of the video-capture device when the device is resting on a supporting surface provides a simpler and more seamless user experience and also improves the overall quality of video content being captured when the device is in automatic mode.
