1. An image capture system having a processor and a display, comprising:
- an image sensor configured to capture a target image of a scene;
an image analysis module configured to determine at least one context for the scene of the target image;
a data storage configured to store the target image; and
a user interface configured to display at least one shutter button that when selected by a user captures and stores the target image to the data storage using first settings, and wherein, in response to the determination of the context of the scene, the user interface also displays at least one additional shutter button that when selected by the user captures and stores the target image to the data storage using second settings, the second settings associated with the context.

Abstract
Described herein are methods and devices that employ a dual shutter button feature associated with an image capture device to recommend a capture mode to a user based on one or more parameters analyzed by the image capture system. As described, providing a primary shutter button and a secondary shutter button enables the user to capture in both a standard capture mode by using the primary shutter button and in an alternate mode by using a secondary shutter button.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method comprising:
-
capturing raw data representing the target image; analyzing the raw data to determine a context of the scene of the target image; displaying a first shutter button on a user interface that when activated by a user captures and stores the target image to a data storage using first settings; displaying a second shutter button on the user interface that when activated by the user captures and stores the target image to the data storage using second settings associated with the determined context; determining whether the first shutter button or the second button is activated by the user; and capturing and storing the target image to the data storage using the first settings corresponding to the first shutter button when the first shutter button is activated, or capturing and storing the target image to the data storage using the second settings corresponding to the second shutter button when the second shutter button is activated.

17. A method of capturing a target image of a scene, the method comprising:
-
capturing raw data representing the target image; analyzing the raw data to determine a context of the scene of the target image; displaying a first shutter button on a user interface that when activated by a user captures and stores the target image to a data storage using first settings; displaying a second shutter button on the user interface that when activated by the user captures and stores the target image to the data storage using second settings associated with the determined context; determining whether the first shutter button or the second button is activated by the user; and capturing and storing the target image to the data storage using the first settings corresponding to the first shutter button when the first shutter button is activated, or capturing and storing the target image to the data storage using the second settings corresponding to the second shutter button when the second shutter button is activated. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
