CameraControlProperty enumeration (strmif.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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 CameraControlProperty enumeration specifies a setting on a camera.

Syntax

typedef enum tagCameraControlProperty {
  CameraControl_Pan = 0,
  CameraControl_Tilt,
  CameraControl_Roll,
  CameraControl_Zoom,
  CameraControl_Exposure,
  CameraControl_Iris,
  CameraControl_Focus
} CameraControlProperty;

Constants

CameraControl_Pan Value: 0 Specifies the camera's pan setting, in degrees. Values range from –180 to +180, with the default set to zero. Positive values are clockwise from the origin (the camera rotates clockwise when viewed from above), and negative values are counterclockwise from the origin.
CameraControl_Tilt Specifies the camera's tilt setting, in degrees. Values range from –180 to +180, with the default set to zero. Positive values point the imaging plane up, and negative values point the imaging plane down.
CameraControl_Roll Specifies the camera's roll setting, in degrees. Values range from –180 to +180, with the default set to zero. Positive values cause a clockwise rotation of the camera along the image-viewing axis, and negative values cause a counterclockwise rotation of the camera.
CameraControl_Zoom Specifies the camera's zoom setting, in millimeters. Values range from 10 to 600, and the default is specific to the device.
CameraControl_Exposure Specifies the exposure setting, in log base 2 seconds. In other words, for values less than zero, the exposure time is 1/2^n seconds, and for values zero or above, the exposure time is 2^n seconds. For example: Value Seconds -3 1/8 -2 1/4 -1 1/2 0 1 1 2 2 4
CameraControl_Iris Specifies the camera's iris setting, in units of fₛₜₒₚ* 10.
CameraControl_Focus Specifies the camera's focus setting, as the distance to the optimally focused target, in millimeters. The range and default value are specific to the device.

Remarks

For a given property, a particular device might implement only a subset of the listed range.
