Setting Camera Parameters
Setting and getting parameters : Using these functions, you can make settings for the camera
and for image capture and preprocessing.
The DCx camera's automatic image control features allow automatically adjusting image
brightness and image color to changing ambient conditions.
Image preprocessing : These functions specify e.g. how color images are processed after
image capture.
Querying the camera status : With these functions, you can query additional useful information
on the camera status.
Using the camera EEPROM : All DCx camera cameras have a non-volatile EEPROM where
you can save the camera settings or any other information.
