1. A method comprising:
using a camera incorporated in a portable electronic device, capturing image data according to camera settings comprising a plurality of image capture parameters that includes an f-stop value defining an exposure setting of the camera; and
using one or more computer processors incorporated in the portable electronic device, performing operations comprising:
processing the image data to determine a sharpness/blurriness metric for one or more images represented by the image data;
based at least in part on the sharpness/blurriness metric, performing automatic adjustment of said f-stop value, such that the camera is configured for image capture according to adjusted camera settings comprising an adjusted f-stop value-; and
thereafter capturing image data via the camera using the adjusted camera settings.
