Abstract
Method for capturing an image of an object (110) by using a camera unit (120) comprising an air touch display (130) and an objective (150). The method comprises activating (401) a viewfinder mode of the camera unit (120), displaying (402) the view of the objective (150) in viewfinder mode on the air touch display (130), recognising (403), by the air touch display (130), a finger (140) situated above the surface of the air touch display (130), focusing (404) the objective (150) on the object (110) corresponding to the position of the recognised (403) finger (140), and capturing (405) and saving (406) the image focused (404) on the object (110) corresponding to the position of the recognised (403) finger (140), when a movement of the finger (140) towards the surface of the air touch display (130) is detected by the air touch display (130).
Further, a computer program product and an arrangement (500) for performing the method is disclosed.
