CameraControlProperty Enumeration

The CameraControlProperty enumeration specifies a setting on a camera.

Syntax

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

Members

CameraControl_Pan

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 1/2n seconds, and for values zero or above, the exposure time is 2n 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.
