ABSTRACT:
A method of improving a digital image captured by a digital camera includes using the digital camera to capture a first image of a scene and having a display to display the first captured image; identifying a portion of the displayed image of the first captured image, which has exposure critical scene content; producing exposure information from such portion and displaying such information on the display which will permit a camera user to adjust the exposure of the image; and adjusting the exposure of the camera based on such exposure information and capturing a second image of the scene.
