1. A method for use in an imaging device, the method comprising:
- displaying an image in a user interface of the device;
receiving a user input in the user interface, wherein the user input designates a first subject in the image;
capturing a plurality of images using an image sensor of the device, wherein the plurality of images include the first subject and a second subject;
combining the plurality of images by a processor of the device to obtain a combined image, such that;

Abstract
A method and apparatus for use in a digital imaging device for correcting image blur in digital images by combining plurality of images. The plurality of images that are combined include a main subject that can be selected by user input or automatically by the digital imaging device. Blur correction can be performed to make the main subject blur-free while the rest of the image is blurred. All of the image may be made blur-free or the main subject can be made blur-free at the expense of the rest of the image. Result is a blur corrected image that is recorded in a memory.
