The Advanced Camera Settings library is used by application developers to enable camera users to configure camera settings and by device creators to define default and mandatory software and hardware configuration settings. </p> <section><title>Purpose</title> <p>Advanced Camera Settings provides domain specific getters and setters for well known camera hardware settings.

You can get a list of UIDs of the supported and currently active settings, so that a user interface of the available options can be updated accordingly. The class also allows the range of possible values for a setting to be obtained. </p> </section> <section><title>Key Advanced Settings API Classes</title> <p>The key classes that make up the Advanced Settings are as follows: </p> <ul><li id="GUID-64ACC4F4-4001-573D-B561-A1DBC1A1C3BD"><p> <xref href="GUID-055FE6AE-0489-325A-BC84-C387E946D50D.dita"><apiname>MCameraPresets</apiname></xref>  </p> </li> <li id="GUID-D54D56F3-0666-51FF-8A5C-17A9822FB1B0"><p> <xref href="GUID-8B30B504-513B-387D-9389-4C26DCEE8372.dita"><apiname>MCameraAdvancedSettings</apiname></xref>  </p> </li> <li id="GUID-FB3E0B7F-5815-5D4B-B8E6-C1F6CF87D53F"><p> <xref href="GUID-021C509B-C821-3401-B2F4-DE7F52BB16D4.dita#GUID-021C509B-C821-3401-B2F4-DE7F52BB16D4/GUID-E31AEB11-B7A0-3637-BB31-866306F78118"><apiname>CCamera::CCameraAdvancedSettings</apiname></xref>  </p> </li> </ul> </section> <section><title>Using Advanced Camera Settings</title> <p>Clients can use the Advanced Settings to: </p> <ul><li id="GUID-81F86379-88CF-522B-81C3-C0D6E34C1023"><p>Build up a configuration set for a camera including: </p> <ul><li id="GUID-61F644CD-BC21-51BF-A976-EE340AF19350"><p>Camera type. <xref href="GUID-E31AEB11-B7A0-3637-BB31-866306F78118.dita#GUID-E31AEB11-B7A0-3637-BB31-866306F78118/GUID-6C99156B-A23F-32C8-AA84-F7005EDEBD3E"><apiname>CCamera::CCameraAdvancedSettings::TCameraType</apiname></xref>  </p> </li> <li id="GUID-24923284-C4D4-5910-A990-7B3725A8DC7F"><p>Stabilization mode. <xref href="GUID-E31AEB11-B7A0-3637-BB31-866306F78118.dita#GUID-E31AEB11-B7A0-3637-BB31-866306F78118/GUID-48DF3436-E92C-341B-ABA2-73B7A32CEDCD"><apiname>CCamera::CCameraAdvancedSettings::TStabilizationMode</apiname></xref>  </p> </li> <li id="GUID-0370445E-0DFF-5BB6-B1FA-BD8991529898"><p>Focus Mode. <xref href="GUID-E31AEB11-B7A0-3637-BB31-866306F78118.dita#GUID-E31AEB11-B7A0-3637-BB31-866306F78118/GUID-877A6E33-8F63-3EFC-8D8C-F77857457B80"><apiname>CCamera::CCameraAdvancedSettings::TFocusMode</apiname></xref>  </p> </li> <li id="GUID-F09295E4-82A7-5D23-B2B6-0E29E6B3EF60"><p>plus several other configuration specifiers such as <xref href="GUID-FAF63EED-08F8-3374-AFF6-4FBD6F17CD3F.dita"><apiname>TDriveMode</apiname></xref>, <xref href="GUID-BF21D32B-91D3-321D-A900-96F6FC61D414.dita"><apiname>TBracketMode</apiname></xref>, <xref href="GUID-69C6A109-EF78-3A36-9E77-2B2007477B6B.dita"><apiname>TPictureOrientation</apiname></xref> and several others. </p> </li> </ul> </li> <li id="GUID-056CAC6B-4A4E-5A95-8988-0FB9E3C298F7"><p>List the UIDs of the supported and currently active settings, so that the user interface can be updated accordingly. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-58963101-6552-5FCD-AD8A-C94705F71279"><p>Support the continuous digital zooming functionality. </p> </li> </ul> </section> <section><title>See also</title> <p><xref href="GUID-36C3A2FD-F4F9-5B8C-91B7-40C29B3D2224.dita">Overview</xref> of Camera Framework </p> <p><xref href="GUID-6A7F8298-F3E9-513C-8C1F-D057AC62E5E3.dita">Advanced Settings for Focus, Drive Modes, and Bracket Modes</xref>  </p> <p><xref href="GUID-82B8C95E-F7E7-59C2-A71A-4C882653D555.dita">Continuous Digital Zooming</xref>  </p> </section> </conbody></concept>
