FIELD: images.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices and methods for capturing images, in particular, to a method for controlling an intelligent assistant and a terminal device. The result is achieved because of the fact that the method includes turning on the lens by the terminal device, displaying the preview interface on the display screen by the terminal device, the preview interface including the photographed object, and if the terminal device determines that the preview interface has been stably displayed for a predetermined a time period, the terminal device displays first photo shooting mode prompt information in the preview interface, the first prompt information is used to advise the user of the first photo shooting mode, and the first photo shooting mode is determined by the terminal device based on scene information of the subject being photographed. Thus, after determining that the preview interface is output stably, the terminal device considers that the user has determined the photography angle and then recommends the optimal photography mode to the user. Thus, logical capabilities and user experience are enhanced.
EFFECT: invention makes it possible to reduce the time for choosing the optimal shooting settings by providing the user with a choice on the screen between a certain capture device and the optimal photography modes.
