Abstract

This application discloses a shooting method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium, and pertains to the shooting field. The method includes: displaying multiple controls in a first region of a shooting screen, where multiple cameras are configured, each of the controls corresponds to one of the cameras, and the multiple controls include a first target control; receiving a first input, where the first input is used for controlling the first target control to move to a second region of the shooting screen; and in response to the first input, focusing on a first target object indicated by the second region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control.

Claims (58)

1. A shooting method, comprising:

displaying multiple controls in a first region of a shooting screen, wherein multiple cameras are configured, each of the controls corresponds to one of the cameras, and the multiple controls comprise a first target control;

in response to the first input, focusing on a first target object indicated by the second region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control;

wherein the second region comprises multiple target objects, and different target objects are focused using different camera corresponding to different controls.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the focusing on a first target object indicated by the second region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control, the method further comprises:

displaying the first target control transparently in the second region after the first target object is in focus.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the focusing on a first target object indicated by the second region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control, the method further comprises:

receiving a second input, wherein the second input is used for canceling a focus lock of a camera corresponding to the first target control to the first target object; and

switching the first target control back to the first region in response to the second input.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the focusing on a first target object indicated by the second region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control, the method further comprises:

receiving a third input, wherein the third input is used for controlling the first target control to slide into a third region of the shooting screen; and

in response to the third input, focusing on a second target object indicated by the third region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the focusing on a first target object indicated by the second region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control, the method further comprises:

receiving a fourth input, wherein the fourth input is used for controlling the first target control in the second region to switch positions with the second target control in the fourth region; and

in response to the fourth input, focusing on a third target object indicated by the fourth region using a camera corresponding to the first target control, and focusing on the first target object using a camera corresponding to the second target control.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the focusing on a first target object indicated by the second region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control, the method further comprises:

receiving a fifth input, wherein the fifth input is used for controlling a third target control in controls displayed in the first region to switch positions with the first target control in the second region; and

in response to the fifth input, focusing on the first target object using a camera corresponding to the third target control.

7. A chip, comprising a processor and a communications interface, wherein the communications interface is coupled to a processor, and the processor is configured to run a program or instructions to implement the shooting method according to claim 1 .

8. An electronic device, comprising a processor, a memory, and a program or instructions stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein the program or instructions are executed by the processor to implement the following steps:

displaying multiple controls in a first region of a shooting screen, wherein multiple cameras are configured, each of the controls corresponds to one of the cameras, and the multiple controls comprise a first target control;

receiving a first input, wherein the first input is used for controlling the first target control to move to a second region of the shooting screen; and

in response to the first input, focusing on a first target object indicated by the second region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control;

wherein the second region comprises multiple target objects, and different target objects are focused using different camera corresponding to different controls.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions are further executed by the processor to implement the following step:

displaying the first target control transparently in the second region after the first target object is in focus.

10. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions are further executed by the processor to implement the following steps:

receiving a second input, wherein the second input is used for canceling a focus lock of a camera corresponding to the first target control to the first target object; and

switching the first target control back to the first region in response to the second input.

11. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions are further executed by the processor to implement the following steps:

receiving a third input, wherein the third input is used for controlling the first target control to slide into a third region of the shooting screen; and

in response to the third input, focusing on a second target object indicated by the third region of the shooting screen using a camera corresponding to the first target control.

12. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions are further executed by the processor to implement the following steps:

receiving a fourth input, wherein the fourth input is used for controlling the first target control in the second region to switch positions with the second target control in the fourth region; and

in response to the fourth input, focusing on a third target object indicated by the fourth region using a camera corresponding to the first target control, and focusing on the first target object using a camera corresponding to the second target control.

13. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the program or instructions are further executed by the processor to implement the following steps:

receiving a fifth input, wherein the fifth input is used for controlling a third target control in controls displayed in the first region to switch positions with the first target control in the second region; and

in response to the fifth input, focusing on the first target object using a camera corresponding to the third target control.

14. A non-transitory readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory readable storage medium stores a program or instructions, and the program or instructions are executed by a processor to implement the following steps:
