Patent attributes
This application provides a long-focus shooting method and an electronic device. The method may be performed by an electronic device such as a tablet or a watch that has a digital zoom capability and a long-focus shooting capability. In a long-focus shooting process, in this method, two framed pictures are simultaneously displayed, an original framed picture at “5×” is displayed in an auxiliary viewfinder window, and a framed picture obtained after a user adjusts a magnification to “50×” is displayed in an image preview display area, to provide the user with two preview pictures with different fields of view. In the long-focus shooting process, based on the original framed picture at “5×” displayed in the auxiliary viewfinder window, the user finds a subject of a shooting target more easily. This improves long-focus shooting experience.
