Step S1401: Control the first preset imaging area to capture the first image.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the display module 20 has a camera area 201 . When the display module 20 takes a picture, the whole picture taking area 201 can be used for the picture taking operation. Of course, a partial area of the imaging area 201 may also be used for the imaging operation.

That is, during the imaging operation, the imaging operation can be performed with a preset imaging area such as the first preset imaging area, and the preset imaging area such as the first preset imaging area can be at least a part of the imaging area 201 .

In addition, when a preset imaging area such as the first preset imaging area is used for imaging, the photosensitive pixel units 41 in the preset imaging area such as the first preset imaging area can work. However, in areas of the imaging area 201 other than the preset imaging area such as the first preset imaging area, the photosensitive pixel unit 41 may not work.

Understandably, multiple preset imaging areas may be set in the imaging area 201 . That is, the camera area 201 may not only be provided with a first preset camera area, but may also be provided with a second preset camera area, a third preset camera area, and the like.

In the plurality of preset imaging areas in the imaging area 201, the positional relationship of the two preset imaging areas can be set to intersect with each other, can be set at intervals from each other, and can also be that one preset imaging area is located in another preset imaging area Inside.

In some embodiments, the preset camera area can match the display area of the display module 20 . For example, the display area and the preset camera area have similar figures. The preset camera area can be changed under the change of the display area.

In some embodiments, the first preset imaging area may be a fixed preset imaging area, and the first preset imaging area may be used immediately for imaging every time the user starts the imaging. In some embodiments, the first preset camera area may also be the preset camera area used when the user took a camera last time. Of course, the first preset camera area may also be a preset camera area adjusted by the user according to requirements.

In some embodiments, before step S1401, the method may further include: taking a camera in a first preset camera area in response to a user's operation of selecting a camera area.

Step S1402: Control the first preset display area of the display module to display the first image.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , the display module 20 has a display area, and when taking pictures, the entire display area is not necessarily used to display the first image, and of course the entire display area can also be used to display. Therefore, a first preset display area may be determined in the display area to display the first image. And the first preset display area may be at least a partial area of the entire display area.

In some embodiments, the position of the first preset display area can also be determined according to the needs of those skilled in the art. In some embodiments, the first preset display area can be dragged within the entire display area under the user's touch control.

Understandably, multiple preset display areas may be set in the entire display area. The positional relationship between the two preset display areas can be set to be mutually intersecting, can be set to be mutually spaced, and can also be that one preset display area is located within the other preset display area.

As for the preset display area, it may be preset in the electronic device 100 , or the preset display area may be divided in the imaging area 201 according to the needs of the user.

In some embodiments, the preset display area can match the preset camera area in the display module 20 . For example, the preset display area and the preset camera area are similar figures. In some embodiments, the shape and size of the preset imaging area can be further controlled under the control of the shape and size of the preset display area. For example, if the preset display area is zoomed out, the preset camera area will be zoomed out in the same proportion as the control. For example, if the preset display area is zoomed in, the preset camera area will be enlarged in the same proportion as the control. For example, if the preset display area is rotated, the preset camera area will be controlled to rotate and zoom in.

In some embodiments, the first preset display area can be a fixed display area, and the first preset display area can be used for display immediately every time the user starts the camera. In some embodiments, the first preset display area may also be the preset display area used when the user took a picture last time.

When the second preset display area can be different from the first preset display area, the second preset display area and the second preset camera area can have similar figures. In addition, in some embodiments, step S1501 may be performed after step S1402.

In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 16 , which is a flowchart of an imaging method in another embodiment of the present application. When performing the camera operation, the method also includes:

Step S1601: Determine the first base point and zoom factor for zooming the first image in response to the user's zooming operation.

If the user performs a zoom operation such as zooming in on the first image displayed by the display module, some light-sensitive pixel units in the first preset imaging area will do useless work and waste energy. Therefore, the power-wasting photosensitive pixel units can be shut down.

In some embodiments, the user's zoom operation, such as a zoom operation, can be performed by pressing a key to select the first base point, or by pressing a key to select a zoom factor.

In some embodiments, the user's zooming operation, such as zooming in, can select the first base point and zoom factor by touching the display module. For example, by touching the display module with two fingers, the electronic device obtains two touch points, and confirms the movement trend of the two touch points according to the movement trend of the two fingers, such as opposite movements, and then the electronic device determines that it is a zoom operation such as a zoom-in operation . The electronic device may use a position in the middle of two touch points, for example, a position in the middle of a line connecting the two touch points, as the first base point. Confirm the zoom factor according to the movement trend of the two touch points. For example, the magnification factor of a line connecting two touch points is the zoom factor.

If the user performs a zooming operation such as zooming out on the first image displayed by the display module, then the photosensitive pixel units in the first preset imaging area will not be sufficient to realize the zooming operation such as zooming out of the first image. Therefore, zooming out of the first image can be realized by enlarging the first preset imaging area.

In some embodiments, the user's zoom operation, such as a zoom out operation, can be performed by pressing a key to select the first base point, or by pressing a key to select a zoom factor.

In some embodiments, the user's zoom operation, such as a zoom out operation, can select the first base point and zoom factor by touching the display module. For example, by touching the display module with two fingers, the electronic device obtains two touch points, and confirms the movement trend of the two touch points according to the movement trend of the two fingers, such as moving toward each other, and then the electronic device determines that it is a zoom operation such as a zoom-out operation . The electronic device may use a position in the middle of two touch points, for example, a position in the middle of a line connecting the two touch points, as the first base point. Confirm the zoom factor according to the movement trend of the two touch points. For example, the reduction factor of a line connecting two touch points is the zoom factor.

Step S1602: Determine a second base point corresponding to the first base point in the first preset imaging area.

Since the first preset imaging area and the first preset display area have similar figures, the second base point corresponding to the first base point in the first preset imaging area can be confirmed based on the ratio.

Step S1603: Zoom the first preset camera area with the second base point as the center to zoom in.

Step S1604: Capture a third image.

Step S1605: Control the first display area to display the third image.

By filling the first display area of the display panel 30 with the third image, the zoomed partial image of the first image can be obtained. In some embodiments, the first display area may be at least a partial area of the entire display panel 30 .
