Class Overview

The base class for camera controls and information.

This class defines the basic key/value map used for querying for camera characteristics or capture results, and for setting camera request parameters.

All instances of CameraMetadata are immutable. The list of keys with getKeys() never changes, nor do the values returned by any key with #get throughout the lifetime of the object.

public static final int CONTROL_AE_STATE_INACTIVE

Added in API level 21

AE is off or recently reset.

When a camera device is opened, it starts in this state. This is a transient state, the camera device may skip reporting this state in capture result.

See Also
Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

public static final int CONTROL_AE_STATE_LOCKED

Added in API level 21

AE has been locked.

See Also
Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

public static final int CONTROL_AE_STATE_PRECAPTURE

Added in API level 21

AE has been asked to do a precapture sequence and is currently executing it.

Precapture can be triggered through setting android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger to START.

Once PRECAPTURE completes, AE will transition to CONVERGED or FLASH_REQUIRED as appropriate. This is a transient state, the camera device may skip reporting this state in capture result.

Constant Value: 5 (0x00000005)

public static final int CONTROL_AE_STATE_SEARCHING

See Also
Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

public static final int CONTROL_AF_MODE_AUTO

Added in API level 21

Basic automatic focus mode.

In this mode, the lens does not move unless the autofocus trigger action is called. When that trigger is activated, AF will transition to ACTIVE_SCAN, then to the outcome of the scan (FOCUSED or NOT_FOCUSED).

Always supported if lens is not fixed focus.

Use android.lens.info.minimumFocusDistance to determine if lens is fixed-focus.

Triggering AF_CANCEL resets the lens position to default, and sets the AF state to INACTIVE.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

public static final int CONTROL_AF_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE

Added in API level 21

In this mode, the AF algorithm modifies the lens position continually to attempt to provide a constantly-in-focus image stream.

The focusing behavior should be suitable for still image capture; typically this means focusing as fast as possible. When the AF trigger is not involved, the AF algorithm should start in INACTIVE state, and then transition into PASSIVE_SCAN and PASSIVE_FOCUSED states as appropriate as it attempts to maintain focus. When the AF trigger is activated, the algorithm should finish its PASSIVE_SCAN if active, and then transition into AF_FOCUSED or AF_NOT_FOCUSED as appropriate, and lock the lens position until a cancel AF trigger is received.

When the AF cancel trigger is activated, the algorithm should transition back to INACTIVE and then act as if it has just been started.

See Also
Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

public static final int CONTROL_AF_MODE_CONTINUOUS_VIDEO

Added in API level 21

In this mode, the AF algorithm modifies the lens position continually to attempt to provide a constantly-in-focus image stream.

The focusing behavior should be suitable for good quality video recording; typically this means slower focus movement and no overshoots. When the AF trigger is not involved, the AF algorithm should start in INACTIVE state, and then transition into PASSIVE_SCAN and PASSIVE_FOCUSED states as appropriate. When the AF trigger is activated, the algorithm should immediately transition into AF_FOCUSED or AF_NOT_FOCUSED as appropriate, and lock the lens position until a cancel AF trigger is received.

Once cancel is received, the algorithm should transition back to INACTIVE and resume passive scan. Note that this behavior is not identical to CONTINUOUS_PICTURE, since an ongoing PASSIVE_SCAN must immediately be canceled.

See Also
Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

public static final int CONTROL_AF_MODE_EDOF

Added in API level 21

Extended depth of field (digital focus) mode.

The camera device will produce images with an extended depth of field automatically; no special focusing operations need to be done before taking a picture.

AF triggers are ignored, and the AF state will always be INACTIVE.

See Also
Constant Value: 5 (0x00000005)

public static final int CONTROL_AF_MODE_MACRO

Added in API level 21

Close-up focusing mode.

In this mode, the lens does not move unless the autofocus trigger action is called. When that trigger is activated, AF will transition to ACTIVE_SCAN, then to the outcome of the scan (FOCUSED or NOT_FOCUSED). This mode is optimized for focusing on objects very close to the camera.

When that trigger is activated, AF will transition to ACTIVE_SCAN, then to the outcome of the scan (FOCUSED or NOT_FOCUSED). Triggering cancel AF resets the lens position to default, and sets the AF state to INACTIVE.

Optimized for nighttime photos of fireworks.

Constant Value: 12 (0x0000000c)

public static final int CONTROL_SCENE_MODE_HDR

Turn on a device-specific high dynamic range (HDR) mode.

In this scene mode, the camera device captures images that keep a larger range of scene illumination levels visible in the final image. For example, when taking a picture of a object in front of a bright window, both the object and the scene through the window may be visible when using HDR mode, while in normal AUTO mode, one or the other may be poorly exposed. As a tradeoff, HDR mode generally takes much longer to capture a single image, has no user control, and may have other artifacts depending on the HDR method used.

Therefore, HDR captures operate at a much slower rate than regular captures.

In this mode, on LIMITED or FULL devices, when a request is made with a android.control.captureIntent of STILL_CAPTURE, the camera device will capture an image using a high dynamic range capture technique. On LEGACY devices, captures that target a JPEG-format output will be captured with HDR, and the capture intent is not relevant.

The HDR capture may involve the device capturing a burst of images internally and combining them into one, or it may involve the device using specialized high dynamic range capture hardware. In all cases, a single image is produced in response to a capture request submitted while in HDR mode.

Since substantial post-processing is generally needed to produce an HDR image, only YUV and JPEG outputs are supported for LIMITED/FULL device HDR captures, and only JPEG outputs are supported for LEGACY HDR captures. Using a RAW output for HDR capture is not supported.

Constant Value: 18 (0x00000012)

public static final int CONTROL_SCENE_MODE_HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO

Added in API level 21

Optimized for high speed video recording (frame rate >=60fps) use case.

The supported high speed video sizes and fps ranges are specified in android.control.availableHighSpeedVideoConfigurations. To get desired output frame rates, the application is only allowed to select video size and fps range combinations listed in this static metadata. The fps range can be control via android.control.aeTargetFpsRange.

In this mode, the camera device will override aeMode, awbMode, and afMode to ON, ON, and CONTINUOUS_VIDEO, respectively. All post-processing block mode controls will be overridden to be FAST. Therefore, no manual control of capture and post-processing parameters is possible. All other controls operate the same as when android.control.mode == AUTO. This means that all other android.control.* fields continue to work, such as

Outside of android.control.*, the following controls will work:

For high speed recording use case, the actual maximum supported frame rate may be lower than what camera can output, depending on the destination Surfaces for the image data. For example, if the destination surface is from video encoder, the application need check if the video encoder is capable of supporting the high frame rate for a given video size, or it will end up with lower recording frame rate. If the destination surface is from preview window, the preview frame rate will be bounded by the screen refresh rate.

The camera device will only support up to 2 output high speed streams (processed non-stalling format defined in android.request.maxNumOutputStreams) in this mode. This control will be effective only if all of below conditions are true:

  • The application created no more than maxNumHighSpeedStreams processed non-stalling format output streams, where maxNumHighSpeedStreams is calculated as min(2, android.request.maxNumOutputStreams[Processed (but not-stalling)]).
  • The stream sizes are selected from the sizes reported by android.control.availableHighSpeedVideoConfigurations.
  • No processed non-stalling or raw streams are configured.

When above conditions are NOT satistied, the controls of this mode and android.control.aeTargetFpsRange will be ignored by the camera device, the camera device will fall back to android.control.mode == AUTO, and the returned capture result metadata will give the fps range choosen by the camera device.

Switching into or out of this mode may trigger some camera ISP/sensor reconfigurations, which may introduce extra latency. It is recommended that the application avoids unnecessary scene mode switch as much as possible.

Constant Value: 15 (0x0000000f)

public static final int SENSOR_TEST_PATTERN_MODE_COLOR_BARS

Added in API level 21

All pixel data is replaced with an 8-bar color pattern.

The vertical bars (left-to-right) are as follows:

  • 100% white
  • yellow
  • cyan
  • green
  • magenta
  • red
  • blue
  • black

In general the image would look like the following:

W Y C G M R B K
 W Y C G M R B K
 W Y C G M R B K
 W Y C G M R B K
 W Y C G M R B K
 . . . . . . . .
 . . . . . . . .
 . . . . . . . .

 (B = Blue, K = Black)
 

Each bar should take up 1/8 of the sensor pixel array width. When this is not possible, the bar size should be rounded down to the nearest integer and the pattern can repeat on the right side.

Each bar's height must always take up the full sensor pixel array height.

Each pixel in this test pattern must be set to either 0% intensity or 100% intensity.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

public static final int SENSOR_TEST_PATTERN_MODE_COLOR_BARS_FADE_TO_GRAY

Added in API level 21

The test pattern is similar to COLOR_BARS, except that each bar should start at its specified color at the top, and fade to gray at the bottom.

Furthermore each bar is further subdivided into a left and right half. The left half should have a smooth gradient, and the right half should have a quantized gradient.

In particular, the right half's should consist of blocks of the same color for 1/16th active sensor pixel array width.

The least significant bits in the quantized gradient should be copied from the most significant bits of the smooth gradient.

The height of each bar should always be a multiple of 128. When this is not the case, the pattern should repeat at the bottom of the image.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

public static final int SENSOR_TEST_PATTERN_MODE_CUSTOM1

This is the default if the key is not set.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

public static final int SENSOR_TEST_PATTERN_MODE_PN9

Added in API level 21

All pixel data is replaced by a pseudo-random sequence generated from a PN9 512-bit sequence (typically implemented in hardware with a linear feedback shift register).

The generator should be reset at the beginning of each frame, and thus each subsequent raw frame with this test pattern should be exactly the same as the last.

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

public static final int SENSOR_TEST_PATTERN_MODE_SOLID_COLOR

Added in API level 21

Each pixel in [R, G_even, G_odd, B] is replaced by its respective color channel provided in android.sensor.testPatternData.

For example:

android.testPatternData = [0, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0]
 

All green pixels are 100% green. All red/blue pixels are black.

android.testPatternData = [0xFFFFFFFF, 0, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0]
 

All red pixels are 100% red. Only the odd green pixels are 100% green. All blue pixels are 100% black.

Added in API level 21

Every frame has the requests immediately applied.

Furthermore for all results, android.sync.frameNumber == CaptureResult#getFrameNumber()

Changing controls over multiple requests one after another will produce results that have those controls applied atomically each frame.

All FULL capability devices will have this as their maxLatency.

See Also
Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

public static final int SYNC_MAX_LATENCY_UNKNOWN

Added in API level 21

Each new frame has some subset (potentially the entire set) of the past requests applied to the camera settings.
