Camera Library Reference

The Camera library provides applications with a consistent interface to interact with one or more cameras connected to the system. Using this library, you can perform operations such as:

connect and disconnect from a camera
start and stop the viewfinder, which is our abstraction of an image buffer or a video stream
use features on the camera, such as zoom, autofocus, auto white balance, and auto exposure
adjust focus, exposure, and white balance algorithms by defining regions of interest, or applying manual controls
access the stream of image buffers (framebuffers)
encode video and save recordings to files
