9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the obtaining step, the method further comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, an object in the current picture and a type of the object; and

determining, by the terminal device in a plurality of modes, a mode corresponding to the type of the object as the second mode.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the obtaining step, the method further comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, an object in the current picture and a type of the object;

determining, by the terminal device in a plurality of modes, a mode corresponding to the type of the object as a candidate second mode;

displaying, by the terminal device, prompt information, wherein the prompt information is used to prompt whether to agree on in the candidate second mode; and

determining, by the terminal device, the candidate second mode as the second mode when the terminal device receives a confirmation instruction for the prompt information; and

displaying, by the terminal device, a selection list when the terminal device receives a first selection instruction, and determining the second mode according to a second selection instruction, wherein the selection list comprises at least one mode that is different from the candidate second mode, the first selection instruction is used to display the selection list, and the second selection instruction is used to determine the second mode in the selection list.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the obtaining step, the method further comprises:

displaying, by the terminal device, multiple modes; and

determining, by the terminal device, the second mode upon receiving a mode selection instruction on any one of the multiple modes.

12. A terminal device, comprising:

a non-transitory memory configured to store computer-readable instructions; and

one or more processors that when execute the computer-readable instructions cause the terminal device to:

obtain, by a terminal device, a first preview image and a second preview image, wherein the first preview image is based on a current picture in a first mode and the second preview image is based on the current picture in a second mode; and

display, by the terminal device, a first part of the first preview image and a second part of the second preview image in a preview area, wherein the first part of the first preview image and the second part of the second preview image constitute a third preview image based on the current picture.
