1. A method of selecting a recommended image from sequentially captured images performed by an imaging device comprising: measuring a brightness value for each of the sequentially captured images; measuring a sharpness value for each of the sequentially captured images; combining the measured brightness value and the measured sharpness value for each of the sequentially captured images to obtain a combined value for each of the sequentially captured images; and selecting the recommended image from among the sequentially captured images based on the obtained combined values.
