/**
 * Still capture control implements basic still image capture functionality. It
 * automatically plays back the capture sound when capturing images (or a
 * sequence of images) and it also provides snapshots of captured images.
 * Still capture control also automatically makes sure that the images are
 * saved in the file system in the background.
 *
 * The CxeStillImage is used to access information (snapshot image, filename)
 * about captured images. The still capture control owns an array of CxeStillImage
 * objects representing the images that were captured. The CxeStillCaptureControl::reset()
 * function should be used to clear any data about previously captured images and to initialize
 * the control for a new capture.
 *
 * The images will be saved to the file system by CxeImageDataQueue and CxeImageDataItem classes.
