Abstract
A method for adjusting image capture settings for an image capture device is provided. The method initiates with capturing depth information of a scene at the image capture device. Depth regions are identified based on the captured depth information. Then, an image capture setting is adjusted independently for each of the depth regions. An image of the scene is captured with the image capture device, wherein the image capture setting is applied to each of the depth regions when the image of the scene is captured.
