1. A camera device comprising:
- a housing;
a camera lens supported by the housing and configured to enable capture of image data and brightness data;
a fastening device on the housing and configured to enable the camera device to be worn by a user;
a motion detector configured to ascertain a degree of movement of the camera device;
a processor configured to;
enable the camera device to enter an automatic photo-capturing mode in which photographs are automatically taken at intervals, and for each photograph taken;
ascertain whether one or more conditions associated with motion data and the brightness data are satisfied; and
responsive to the one or more conditions being satisfied, adjust an exposure time of the camera device and take a photograph.

Abstract
Various embodiments provide a wearable camera that is configured to take a cluster of photographs and use image processing techniques to select a photograph with a lesser amount of blur than other photographs in the cluster. The wearable camera can include one or more of a gyroscope or accelerometer for ascertaining the camera'"'"'s motion. Motion data associated with the camera'"'"'s motion is utilized to ascertain when to take an automatic photograph.
