  • at a time before an indication that a photograph is to be taken imminently, selecting at least one capture parameter of a digital imaging device when it is determined that the digital imaging device is substantially still; and

    locking the at least one capture parameter so long as the digital imaging device remains substantially still; and

    when an indication that a photograph is to be taken imminently is received with the capture parameter locked, determining whether a photographic subject has moved since the capture parameter was selected before the indication was received; and

    re-selecting at least one capture parameter if the subject has so moved.
