7. Camera Functions

The camera features are represented by a GenICam™ compliant XML description file.

The following chapter describes all available features included there. Most of the cam-

era's features are standardized in the GenICam™ SFNC and must use the name defined

there. Specialized features not mapping to an existing GenICam™ SFNC name are in-

cluded as vendor-specific within the 'Custom' namespace.

The camera features are functional grouped by Category features. This elements can be

used by software to display the features in more organized way.

Notice

Not all features listed here are supported by every camera.

You can view the functionality of your camera in the feature widget

of the
