Abstract

Methods and computer program products for determining one or more settings of a camera apparatus are provided. The methods include obtaining one or more parameters of the camera apparatus and determining one or more settings of the camera apparatus using the one or more parameters and an image repository. The image repository may include images with image parameters associated with the images, which may be correlated with the one or more parameters of the camera apparatus, and the images may also have an associated rating attribute. One or more images may be identified for inclusion in a subset of images, based on an image's image parameters and/or based on an image's rating attribute. The camera settings of one image of the subset of images, corresponding to the settings used to create the one image, may be used to automatically adjust the one or more settings of the camera apparatus.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more settings of the camera apparatus comprise one or more of the following selected from the group consisting of: a focal length, a shutter speed, an exposure time, a color balance, a flash setting, a light sensitivity setting, or an aperture size.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters of the camera apparatus comprise one or more of the following selected from the group consisting of: a camera brand, a camera model, an image resolution, a pixel size, a geographical location, a lighting condition, a weather condition, a date parameter, a time parameter, a camera orientation parameter, a focal length, a shutter speed, an exposure time, a color balance, a flash setting, a light sensitivity setting, or an aperture size.
