Image capturing device having continuous image capture
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine readable medium containing executable computer program instructions which when executed by a data processing system cause said system to perform a method, the method comprising:
- continuously capturing a sequence of images with an image capturing device;
storing a predetermined number of the sequence of images in a buffer;
receiving a user request to capture an image; and
in response to the user request, presenting for selection one of the buffered images when an exposure time of one of the buffered images meets a predetermined criteria.

Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for continuous image capturing are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes continuously capturing a sequence of images with an image capturing device. The method may further include storing a predetermined number of the sequence of images in a buffer. The method may further include receiving a user request to capture an image. In response to the user request, the method may further include automatically selecting one of the buffered images based on an exposure time of one of the buffered images. The sequence of images is captured prior to or concurrently with receiving the user request.
