    Abstract: Electronic devices, methods, and program storage devices for achieving smooth zooming operations during video capture are disclosed. In particular, smooth zooming may be desirable during video capture operations that involve a single image capture device and/or transitioning between two or more distinct image capture devices, e.g., having different optical and/or zooming properties, during the video capture. When video zooming is done abruptly, it can lead to an unpleasant user experience. The techniques described herein to improve the smoothness of zooming operations include: the use of longer zoom “ramps” for image capture devices; the “early” transitioning between image capture devices during video capture; and the performance of additional “digital zoom smoothing-aware” video image stabilization operations. The embodiments described herein also provide for a more consistent user experience between video streaming (i.e., “preview”) modes and the recorded (i.e., “final”) zoomed video that is produced using the various zoom smoothing techniques described herein.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces. In some examples, the electronic device transitions between user interfaces for capturing photos based on data received from a first camera and a second camera. In some examples, the electronic device provides enhanced zooming capabilities that result in visual pleasing results for a displayed digital viewfinder and for captured videos. In some examples, the electronic device provides user interfaces for transitioning a digital viewfinder between a first camera with an applied digital zoom to a second camera with no digital zoom. In some examples, the electronic device prepares to capture media at various magnification levels. In some examples, the electronic device enhanced capabilities for navigating through a plurality of values.

    Abstract: For cameras that capture several images in a burst mode, some embodiments of the invention provide a method that presents one or more of the captured images differently than the remaining captured images. The method identifies at least one captured image as dominant image and at least another captured image as a non-dominant image. The method then displays each dominant image different from each non-dominant image in a concurrent presentation of the images captured during the burst mode. The dominant images may appear larger than non-dominant images, and/or appear with a marking that indicates that the images are dominant.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for providing visual indication that the image capture device is actively recording frames for a time lapse output sequence by providing indicia that communicates to a user that the image capture device is actively recording frames for the time lapse output sequence. Allowing user to perform time lapse sequence captures with a simple set up and with auto-adjustments when events occur that might otherwise detract from output quality.
