member this.Lock : unit -> unit- Attributes
Exceptions
if the camera cannot be re-locked (for example, if the camera is still in use by another process).
Remarks
Re-locks the camera to prevent other processes from accessing it. Camera objects are locked by default unless #unlock() is called. Normally #reconnect() is used instead.
Since API level 14, camera is automatically locked for applications in android.media.MediaRecorder#start(). Applications can use the camera (ex: zoom) after recording starts. There is no need to call this after recording starts or stops.
If you are not recording video, you probably do not need this method.
