Abstract
An image capturing apparatus constructs a composite image using image regions of images captured with differing focal distances between an image plane of an image capturing apparatus photo-detector image sensor and a subject of the image, providing selective focus, background de-focus, and/or lens blur modes of the image capturing apparatus. Construction of the composite image occurs subsequent to aligning images captured with different focal lengths, the aligning partly based on registration of one or more visual features common to one or more images of the plurality of images utilized in providing an image with the desired focus responsive to a selection via a user interface of the image capturing apparatus. Focus bracketing refers to collecting multiple images of the same scene or object while adjusting the image capturing apparatus's focal parameters between collecting the images to focus at distances both nearer and more distant from a desired focus.
