<p>This document introduces to the Advanced Camera Settings library in Ecam.
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 id="GUID-8042E290-802C-44BB-93F3-538AB726E43C"><title>Purpose</title> <p>Advanced Camera Settings provides domain
specific getters and setters for well known camera hardware settings. Image
or video format, sizes and video frame rates are already well defined in the
general <xref href="GUID-021C509B-C821-3401-B2F4-DE7F52BB16D4.dita"><apiname>CCamera</apiname></xref> API. </p> <p><b>Advanced

provides access to common camera hardware settings related to image acquisition
for still images and video. </p> <p>To allow the settings to be both flexible
and rich enough to work with different camera hardware, settings are identified
by UID values. 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>
