Patent attributes
An electronic device, computer program product and method provide automatic exposure control (AEC) convergence in a dual camera system. A main camera is triggered to perform AEC convergence procedure at a first frame rate. A display presents at least one of first images from the main camera. An auxiliary camera is triggered to perform AEC convergence procedure. A determination is made whether the AEC of the auxiliary camera has converged. In response convergence by the AEC, an exposure setting of the main camera is synchronized to the exposure setting of the auxiliary camera. The display presents a next image captured by the main camera operating with the synchronized exposure settings.
