Abstract
Embodiments of the subject application disclose various imaging control methods and apparatuses for a digital zoom image and various imaging devices. One of imaging control methods for a digital zoom image comprises: acquiring a digital zoom parameter; determining an actual imaging area of an image sensor according to the acquired digital zoom parameter; adjusting a pixel density distribution of the image sensor, to cause an average pixel density of the actual imaging area after adjustment to become greater than those of other areas of the image sensor; and acquiring, by using the actual imaging area with the adjusted average pixel density, an image of a scene to be photographed. The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the subject application cause that as many as possible pixels of the image sensor gather at an actual imaging area corresponding to a digital zoom parameter to participate in image collection, thereby improving efficiency of image collection and the definition of a collected image.
