Abstract

A method includes determining to set a face area as a current focus window when a face is detected in a to-be-photographed image, detecting a preset location in the face area, adjusting a width of the current focus window according to the preset location in the face area, stretching a length of the current focus window according to at least a first preset ratio and a second preset ratio, calculating at least a contrast value of an image in the first focus window and a contrast value of an image in the second focus window, and determining a final focus window according to the at least two contrast values. Therefore, the width of the focus window is reduced such that the focus window is without background content.
