Methods and apparatus for capturing images using multiple camera modules in an efficient manner
Methods and apparatus for capturing images using a camera device including multiple camera modules, e.g., multiple optical chains, in an efficient manner are described. Different camera devices in the camera device may capture images corresponding to different size fields of view of a scene area. User input is used to identify an object of interest. A first type camera module having a large field of view is used to track the identified object of interest. Sets of second type camera modules having a smaller field of view are used to capture images of the object of interest. Different sets of second type camera modules may be used at different times as a function of object of interest location. In some embodiments, at least some second type camera modules include the capability to adjust, e.g., move, image capture area, e.g., by changing a mirror angle inclination and/or a mirror rotation.
