The method comprises the following steps:
step S1401: and controlling the first preset image pickup area to perform first image pickup.
Referring to fig. 6, the display module 20 has a camera area 201. When the display module 20 performs image capturing, the entire image capturing area 201 can be used for image capturing operation. It is needless to say that the image pickup operation may be performed by a local area of the image pickup area 201.
That is, at the time of the image capturing operation, the image capturing operation may be performed with a preset image capturing area, for example, a first preset image capturing area, and the preset image capturing area, for example, the first preset image capturing area, may be at least part of the image capturing area 201.
In addition, when image capturing is performed with a preset image capturing area such as the first preset image capturing area, the photosensitive pixel unit 41 in the preset image capturing area such as the first preset image capturing area may operate. And in the region of the imaging region 201 other than the preset imaging region, for example, the first preset imaging region, the photosensitive pixel unit 41 may not operate.
It is to be understood that a plurality of preset image pickup areas may be set in the image pickup area 201. That is, the imaging region 201 may set not only the first preset imaging region but also a second preset imaging region, a third preset imaging region, and the like.
In a plurality of preset image pickup areas in the image pickup area 201, the positional relationship between two preset image pickup areas may be set to be mutually crossed, may be set to be mutually spaced, or may be that one preset image pickup area is located in another preset image pickup area.
The preset image capturing area may be preset in the electronic device 100, or may be divided in the image capturing area 201 according to the needs of the user.
In some embodiments, the predetermined camera area may match the display area in the display module 20. For example, the display area and the preset image pickup area are similar in figure. The preset image pickup area can be changed under the change of the display area.
In some embodiments, the first preset camera area may be a fixed preset camera area, and the first preset camera area may be used for shooting immediately each time the user starts shooting. In some embodiments, the first preset image capturing area may also be a preset image capturing area used by the user when the user performs image capturing last time. Of course, the first preset camera area may also be a preset camera area adjusted by the user according to the requirement.
In some embodiments, prior to step S1401, the method may further comprise: and performing image pickup by the first preset image pickup area in response to a user's image pickup area selection operation.
Step S1402: and controlling a first preset display area of the display module to display a first image.
Referring to fig. 6, the display module 20 has a display area, and when the camera is taking a picture, the whole display area is not necessarily used for displaying the first image, and of course, the whole display area can also be used for displaying. Accordingly, a first preset display area may be determined within the display area to display the first image. And the first predetermined display area may be at least a partial area of the entire display area.
In some embodiments, the position of the first preset display area may also be determined according to the needs of those skilled in the art. In some embodiments, the first preset display area may be dragged across the entire display area under touch control of the user.
It is understood that a plurality of preset display areas may be provided in the entire display area. The position relationship of the two preset display areas can be mutually crossed, can be mutually spaced, and can also be that one preset display area is positioned in the other preset display area.
The preset display area may be preset in the electronic device 100, or may be divided in the image capturing area 201 according to the needs of the user.
In some embodiments, the predetermined display area may match a predetermined camera area in the display module 20. For example, the preset display area and the preset image pickup area are similar in figure. In some embodiments, the shape and size of the predetermined image capture area may be further controlled under the control of the shape and size of the predetermined display area. For example, when the preset display area is reduced, the preset image pickup area is controlled to be reduced in the same scale. For example, when the preset display area is enlarged, the preset image pick-up area will be enlarged in the same scale. For example, when the preset display area is rotated, the preset image pick-up area controls the rotation and the amplification.
In some embodiments, the first predetermined display area may be a fixed display area, and the first predetermined display area may be used for displaying immediately each time the user starts to capture an image. In some embodiments, the first preset display area may also be a preset display area used by the user when shooting the image last time. Of course, the first preset display area may also be a preset display area adjusted by the user according to the requirement.
In some embodiments, please refer to fig. 15, and fig. 15 is a flowchart of an image capturing method in another embodiment of the present application. When the method is used for carrying out the image pickup operation, the method further comprises the following steps:
step S1501; and switching the first preset image pickup area to the second preset image pickup area in response to the image pickup area switching operation of the user.
In some embodiments, when the image capturing is performed, a switching operation is performed on the preset image capturing region. The user can directly carry out the operation of presetting the camera shooting area through key operation or touch operation. Of course, the selection of the preset image pickup area can also be further controlled by directly selecting a partial area of the display area in the display area through touch operation.
In one embodiment, the first preset image capturing area can be switched to the second preset image capturing area in the image capturing area.
Step S1502: and performing second image pickup.
And shooting a second image matched with the second preset shooting area.
Step S1503: and controlling a second preset display area of the display module to display a second image.
It is understood that the second predetermined display area may be the same as the first predetermined display area, and of course, may be different. When the second preset display area can be different from the first preset display area, the second preset display area and the second preset image pickup area can be similar graphs. Additionally, in some embodiments, step S1501 may be performed after step S1402.
In some embodiments, please refer to fig. 16, and fig. 16 is a flowchart of a photographing method in another embodiment of the present application. When the method is used for carrying out the image pickup operation, the method further comprises the following steps:
step S1601: a first base point and a zoom factor for zooming the first image are determined in response to a zoom operation of a user.
When a user performs zooming operation, such as magnifying viewing, on a first image displayed by the display module, part of the photosensitive pixel units in the first preset image pick-up area will do useless work, which wastes energy. Therefore, the photosensitive pixel unit which wastes energy can be subjected to the shutdown processing.
In some embodiments, the user's zoom operation, such as a zoom-in operation, may select the first base point by pressing a key, and may also select a zoom factor by pressing a key.
In some embodiments, the user's zoom operation, such as a zoom-in operation, may select the first base point and the zoom factor by touching the display module. For example, two fingers touch the display module, the electronic device obtains two touch points, the movement trends of the two touch points are confirmed according to the movement trends of the two fingers, such as opposite movement, and the electronic device determines that the zooming operation, such as the zooming operation, is performed. The electronic device may be the first base point according to a certain position in the middle of the two touch points, for example, the middle position of the connecting line of the two touch points. And confirming the zoom times according to the motion trends of the two touch points. For example, the magnification of the line connecting the two touch points is the zoom magnification.
When a user performs a zoom operation, such as zoom-out viewing, on the first image displayed by the display module, the photosensitive pixel units in the first preset image pick-up region are not sufficient to perform the zoom operation, such as zoom-out viewing, on the first image. Therefore, the reduced viewing of the first image can be achieved by enlarging the first preset imaging region.
In some embodiments, the user's zoom operation, such as zoom-out operation, may perform the first base point selection by pressing a key, and may also perform the zoom factor selection by pressing a key.
In some embodiments, the user's zoom operation, such as zoom-out operation, may select the first base point and the zoom multiple by touching the display module. For example, two fingers touch the display module, the electronic device obtains two touch points, and the movement trends of the two touch points are determined according to the movement trends of the two fingers, such as opposite movement, so that the electronic device determines that the zoom operation is a zoom-out operation, such as a zoom-out operation. The electronic device may be the first base point according to a certain position in the middle of the two touch points, for example, the middle position of the connecting line of the two touch points. And confirming the zoom times according to the motion trends of the two touch points. For example, the line between two touch points is reduced by a zoom factor.
Step S1602: and determining a second base point corresponding to the first base point in the first preset image pick-up area.
Since the first preset image pickup area and the first preset display area are similar in graphic, a second base point corresponding to the first base point in the first preset image pickup area can be confirmed based on the scale.
Step S1603: and zooming the zoom multiple by taking the second base point as the center of the first preset image pick-up area.
Step S1604: and performing third image pickup.
Step S1605: and controlling the first display area to display the third image.
By filling the third image in the first display area of the display panel 30, the partial image after the first image scaling can be acquired. In some embodiments, the first display region may be at least a partial region of the entire display panel 30.
