CameraControlFlags enumeration (strmif.h)

  • Article

[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 CameraControlFlags enumeration defines whether a camera setting is controlled manually or automatically.

Syntax

typedef enum tagCameraControlFlags {
  CameraControl_Flags_Auto = 0x1,
  CameraControl_Flags_Manual = 0x2
} CameraControlFlags;

Constants

 
CameraControl_Flags_Auto
Value: 0x1
The setting is controlled automatically.
CameraControl_Flags_Manual
Value: 0x2
The setting is controlled manually.

Remarks

In addition, the following flags are defined in Ksmedia.h:

Flag Value Description
KSPROPERTY_CAMERACONTROL_FLAGS_AUTO 0X0001L Equivalent to CameraControl_Flags_Auto.
KSPROPERTY_CAMERACONTROL_FLAGS_MANUAL 0X0002L Equivalent to CameraControl_Flags_Manual.
KSPROPERTY_CAMERACONTROL_FLAGS_ABSOLUTE 0X0000L The camera supports absolute units for this setting.
KSPROPERTY_CAMERACONTROL_FLAGS_RELATIVE 0X0010L The camera supports relative controls for this setting. A relative control is divided into a number of steps with no defined units. The absolute size of each step depends on the camera model.
