Abstract

A method of operation of an electronic system includes: scanning an image for detecting a subject; detecting a potential adjustment for moving the subject within the image; and selecting an augmentation for recommending the potential adjustment and for displaying the augmentation on a device.

Claims

1. A method of operation of an electronic system comprising:

scanning an image for detecting a subject;

analyzing the image based on comparing a size of the subject to an area threshold;

selecting a picture mode based on the image analyzed to restrict a usage of the picture mode by a control unit if the size of the subject is below the area threshold relative to a size of a display;

detecting a potential adjustment for moving the subject within the image; and

selecting an augmentation for recommending the potential adjustment and for displaying the augmentation on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein detecting the potential adjustment includes flagging a composition change, a lighting change, or a size change of the subject.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising selecting an aim adjustment, a position adjustment, a shade adjustment, a zoom adjustment, or a combination thereof for selecting the augmentation.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein selecting the augmentation includes selecting an arrow, a symbol, an informational line, a text, a compass point, a hatch mark, or a combination thereof.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein selecting the augmentation includes matching the potential adjustment with the augmentation in a correlation table.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein scanning the image includes scanning a zoomed out image and a zoomed in image for detecting the subject.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising detecting a panorama setting, a normal setting, or a teach me setting for selecting the augmentation.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein scanning the image includes scanning the image for a facial feature, a body feature, an inanimate feature, or a combination thereof.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein detecting the potential adjustment includes comparing the image to a composition guideline, a lighting guideline, or a combination thereof.

10. An electronic system comprising:

a control unit including a processor configured to;

scan an image for detecting a subject,

analyze the image based on comparing a size of the subject to an area threshold,

select a picture mode based on the image analyzed,

restrict a usage of the picture mode if the size of the subject is below the area threshold relative to a size of a display,

detect a potential adjustment and moving the subject within the image,

select an augmentation and recommending the potential adjustment, and

a communication unit including a microelectronic, coupled to the control unit, for transmitting the augmentation for displaying the augmentation on a device.

11. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is configured to flag a composition change, a lighting change, or a size change of the subject.

12. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is configured to select an aim adjustment, a position adjustment, a shade adjustment, a zoom adjustment, or a combination thereof for selecting the augmentation.

13. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is configured to select an arrow, a symbol, an informational line, a text, a compass point, a hatch mark, or a combination thereof.

14. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is configured to match the potential adjustment with the augmentation in a correlation table.

15. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the control unit is configured to select the picture mode for the image.

16. The system as claimed in claim 15 wherein the control unit is configured to scan a zoomed out image and a zoomed in image for detecting the subject.

17. The system as claimed in claim 15 wherein the control unit is configured to detect a panorama setting, a normal setting, or a teach me setting for selecting the augmentation.

18. The system as claimed in claim 15 wherein the control unit is configured to scan the image for a facial feature, a body feature, an inanimate feature, or a combination thereof.

19. The system as claimed in claim 15 wherein the control unit is configured to compare the image to a composition guideline, a lighting guideline, or a combination thereof.
