    Abstract: The ability of a user to acquire satisfactory images in varying imaging conditions can be improved by enabling the user to select one or more scene settings that are appropriate for current conditions. In some embodiments, a camera instructed to capture an image can instead capture multiple images, each with different camera settings corresponding to a respective scene setting. The user can then view at least some of these images, and select one or more images that appeal to the user. In some embodiments, this selection process can be used to determine the appropriate settings for the current conditions, and then enable the user to capture images using those settings. The user can also customize, change the selection of, or obtain additional scene settings.

    Abstract: A plurality of depth planes corresponding to a scene within a field of view of a camera of a computing device can be computed based on stereographic techniques, infrared transceivers, ultrasonic transceivers, among other approaches. The depth planes can be utilized to independently meter subject matter of interest (e.g., person, object, region, etc.) corresponding to each depth plane to obtain image statistics for each depth plane. The image statistics can be analyzed to determine optimal settings (e.g., focus, exposure, white balance, etc.) for each depth plane, and a camera can be configured to acquire image data according to the optimal settings for one or more of the depth planes. Further, the image statistics can be leveraged for processing portions of the image data that are not optimized during capture. Thus, a final image can reflect optimizations for multiple subject matter of interest located at various distances from a computing device.
