Abstract
Embodiments of the present application disclose methods and apparatus for control of light field capture. A depth range of a first zone, which is at least a part of a scene to be shot, is acquired. An object distance adjustment range from a pixel point of at least one imaging zone to a reference point of a sub-lens is determined according to the acquired depth range. The at least one imaging zone is an imaging zone that affects light field capture of the first zone in an image sensor of a light field camera. The sub-lens corresponds to the at least one imaging zone in a sub-lens array of the light field camera. A bending degree of the at least one imaging zone is adjusted according to the object distance adjustment range. After being adjusted, the image sensor captures the light field emanating from the scene to be shot.
