The extended camera control interface, available starting in Windows 8, is used to control camera features during image capture. The driver can control these camera features:
- the camera's flash
- whether image pin and record pin are mutually exclusive
- the region of interest in the image
- video stabilization
The driver can also choose to perform a camera control operation asynchronously, meaning that all requests for an operation are rejected until the first request is completed. If the driver has successfully performed asynchronous camera control operations, it should trigger the KSEVENTSETID_CameraAsyncControl event. See KSPROPERTY_CAMERACONTROL_S_EX for more information.
UWP apps can access these properties to configure the camera:
