Camera Controls

The WikitudeCamera also provides APIs to change the settings on the device camera.

The first category of settings are visible and editable directly in the inspector of the WikitudeCamera, while the second category can only be changed through scripting. Please also see the Camera Controls - Camera Settings scene for an example on how to use them.

Inspector Settings

Camera Resolution

The Camera Resolution setting indicates which resolution you would like to use. Available options are SD, HD and FullHD. If the desired resolution is not available, the closest available resolution will be used instead. You can also select Auto and the SDK will select a resolution based on the capabilities of the device.

Camera Framerate

The Camera Framerate setting allows you to select between 30 FPS and 60 FPS. If 60 FPS is selected, but the device doesn't support it, 30 FPS will be used instead. You can also select Auto and the SDK will select a framerate based on the capabilities of the device.

Script Only Settings

Camera position

The DevicePosition property enables you to change between the back and front camera of the device.

Focus Mode

The FocusMode property can change the camera focus mode between Locked, which will keep the current focus, Once, which will try to focus the camera only once and Continuous which will constantly adapt the focus of the camera to changes in the view.

Manual Focus

The ManualFocus property allows the focal length to be set at a custom distance when the FocusMode is set to Locked. The property accepts values from 0 to 1, where 0 means focusing the camera as close as possible.

Flash Mode

The FlashMode property allows you to turn on the camera flash.

Zoom Level

The ZoomLevel property changes the zoom level used by the camera. Valid values are between 1.0 and MaxZoomLevel. Be sure tu query the MaxZoomLevel property first. A MaxZoomLevel value of 1.0 indicates that the device doesn't support zooming.

Auto Focus Restriction (iOS only)

The AutoFocusRestriction property let's you restrict the auto focus on the camera to either Near or Far. By default it is not restricted.
