1. A method comprising:
- determining, by an electronic device, a quality metric that provides an estimation of a user experience associated with content captured by at least one camera of the electronic device; and
determining a power draw of one or more components of the device relative to a predetermined power budget;
adjusting a plurality of operating parameters of the device based on the predetermined power budget, wherein adjusting the plurality of operating parameters comprises;
based on the power draw exceeding the predetermined power budget, determining one or more operating parameters of the plurality of operating parameters that, when adjusted, produce the greatest change in the power draw and the smallest change in the quality metric relative to at least one other operating parameter of the plurality of operating parameters; and
adjusting the determined one or more operating parameters.

Abstract
In an example, a method includes determining, by an electronic device, a user experience metric associated with content captured by at least one camera of the electronic device. The method also includes adjusting at least one operating parameter of the device to produce an operating characteristic target, wherein the adjustment is based on an estimated change to the determined user experience metric due to the adjustment.
