/** Specifies camera device information.

If either zoom or digital zoom are available then the appropriate entries
in this class will be set to indicate the range of values that they may take.
This should be implemented such that a setting of zero corresponds to no zoom,
and a step of one corresponds to the smallest increment available, in a linear
fashion.

There are also zoom factors that correspond to the actual zoom factor when
at minimum (non-digital only) and maximum zoom. Negative zoom values represent
macro functionality.

Image capture, if supported, is simply a case of transferring the current
image from the camera to the client via MCameraObserver::ImageReady(). The
camera class must set the iImageFormatsSupported bitfield to indicate the
formats available.
