Abstract:
The subject matter described herein relates to switching between cameras of an electronic device. A method, system and computer storage medium are provided for switching between cameras of an electronic device. In an embodiment, the method comprises detecting at least a partial obstruction of a camera of the electronic device; and upon detection, switching between the at least partially obstructed camera and another camera of the electronic device. In such a way, it enables a user to switch between two different cameras by simply at least partially obstructing one of the cameras using, for example, a finger, which improves the accuracy of user operations and enhances usability of the electronic device, thereby providing a better user experience.
