A METHOD FOR DIGITAL VIDEO/AUDIO RECORDING WITH BACKLIGHT COMPENSATION USING A TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL PANEL

摘要

Aspects of the present invention include method and apparatuses that may utilize a digital video recording device with a screen control panel, for example, a touch screen control panel, to record digital video data with adjusted light compensation based on a selected object within a scene. For example, a user, using a touch screen control panel, may choose an object within a scene. Based on this selection, the digital video recording device may adjust the backlight compensation settings and camera angle to obtain a better image of the selected object. A user may select an object by touching the image of the object, tracing the selected object, or touching a number of reference points of the object. Then, depending on the user selection, the digital video recording device may take a snapshot, zoom in and take a snapshot, record the scene, or it may lock on the object and readjust and track the object as the object moves, while recording the scene.
