Abstract
A mobile multimedia device may be operable to initiate capture of a series of image samples of a scene, where the scene may comprise one or more objects that may be identifiable by the mobile multimedia device. An image for the scene may be determined by the mobile multimedia device utilizing the captured image samples based on motion associated with the identifiable objects. As soon as the image for the scene has been determined, the capture of the series of image samples may be terminated. The image may be determined when the amount of motion associated with the identifiable objects is below a particular threshold value. The identifiable objects may comprise one or more faces. The motion may be due to a gesture such as a wink or a smile received from one or more of the faces. The image may be determined when the gesture is detected.
