QCameraControl.ImageEncodingSettings	Image encoder settings are changed, including resolution.
QCameraControl.VideoEncodingSettings	Video encoder settings are changed, including audio, video and container settings.

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraControl.canChangeProperty(changeType, status)

Parameters

• changeType – PropertyChangeType

• status – Status

Return type

bool

Returns true if backend can effectively apply changing camera properties of changeType type while the camera state is QCamera::Active and camera status matches status parameter.

If backend doesn’t support applying this change in the active state, it will be stopped before the settings are changed and restarted after. Otherwise the backend should apply the change in the current state, with the camera status indicating the progress, if necessary.

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraControl.captureMode()

Return type

CaptureModes

Returns the current capture mode.

setCaptureMode()

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraControl.captureModeChanged(mode)

Parameters

mode – CaptureModes

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraControl.error(error, errorString)

Parameters

• error – int

• errorString – unicode

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraControl.isCaptureModeSupported(mode)

Parameters

mode – CaptureModes

Return type

bool

Returns true if the capture mode is suported.

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraControl.setCaptureMode(arg__1)

Parameters

arg__1 – CaptureModes

Sets the current capture mode .

The capture mode changes are synchronous and allowed in any camera state.

If the capture mode is changed while camera is active, it’s recommended to change status to LoadedStatus and start activating the camera in the next event loop with the status changed to StartingStatus . This allows the capture settings to be applied before camera is started. Than change the status to QCamera::StartedStatus when the capture mode change is done.

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraControl.setState(state)

Parameters

state – State

Sets the camera state .

State changes are synchronous and indicate user intention, while camera status is used as a feedback mechanism to inform application about backend status. Status changes are reported asynchronously with statusChanged() signal.
