ICameraControl::put_ExposureRelative method (vidcap.h)

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The put_ExposureRelative method sets the camera's relative exposure time. The relative exposure time is expressed as a number of steps, where the size of each step depends on the camera model.

Syntax

HRESULT put_ExposureRelative(
  [in] long Value,
  [in] long Flags
);

Parameters

Value Description
0 Set the exposure to the default exposure time, which is implementation dependent.
Positive value Increment the exposure time by one step.
Negative value Decrement the exposure time by one step.

[in] Flags

Zero or more flags. See CameraControlFlags. If the CameraControl_Flags_Auto flag is used, the Value parameter is ignored and the camera sets the default value.
