1. A method of operating a computing device for capture of an image of an object in a scene, the computing device comprising a camera and a display screen, the method comprising:
the computing device automatically determining to capture an image of an object that is in a scene being viewed through the camera of the computing device;
in response to the computing device automatically determining to capture an image of the object that is in the scene, the computing device presenting at the display screen an image of the scene together with an overlay template, wherein the overlay template corresponds in shape to the object in the scene and is overlaid on the object in the scene when displayed at the display screen, wherein the overlay template is retrieved from a current template holder in volatile memory on the computing device, and wherein the overlay template was stored in the volatile memory based on detecting the object in a previous image capture of the scene; and
the computing device capturing an image of the object in the scene by capturing an image in real time of a first portion of the scene that is framed by the overlay template, the image excluding a second portion of the scene that is not framed by the overlay template;
wherein the overlay template is not displayed at the display screen when the computing device does not determine to capture an image of the object in the scene.
