</notes>
</value>
</enum>
<description>
The mode control selects how the image data is converted from the
sensor's native color into linear sRGB color.
</description>
<details>
When auto-white balance (AWB) is enabled with android.control.awbMode, this
control is overridden by the AWB routine. When AWB is disabled, the
application controls how the color mapping is performed.
We define the expected processing pipeline below. For consistency
across devices, this is always the case with TRANSFORM_MATRIX.
When either FULL or HIGH_QUALITY is used, the camera device may
do additional processing but android.colorCorrection.gains and
android.colorCorrection.transform will still be provided by the
camera device (in the results) and be roughly correct.
Switching to TRANSFORM_MATRIX and using the data provided from
FAST or HIGH_QUALITY will yield a picture with the same white point
as what was produced by the camera device in the earlier frame.
The expected processing pipeline is as follows:
![White balance processing pipeline](android.colorCorrection.mode/processing_pipeline.png)
The white balance is encoded by two values, a 4-channel white-balance
gain vector (applied in the Bayer domain), and a 3x3 color transform
matrix (applied after demosaic).
The 4-channel white-balance gains are defined as:
android.colorCorrection.gains = [ R G_even G_odd B ]
where `G_even` is the gain for green pixels on even rows of the
output, and `G_odd` is the gain for green pixels on the odd rows.
These may be identical for a given camera device implementation; if
the camera device does not support a separate gain for even/odd green
channels, it will use the `G_even` value, and write `G_odd` equal to
`G_even` in the output result metadata.
The matrices for color transforms are defined as a 9-entry vector:
android.colorCorrection.transform = [ I0 I1 I2 I3 I4 I5 I6 I7 I8 ]
which define a transform from input sensor colors, `P_in = [ r g b ]`,
to output linear sRGB, `P_out = [ r' g' b' ]`,
with colors as follows:
r' = I0r + I1g + I2b
g' = I3r + I4g + I5b
b' = I6r + I7g + I8b
Both the input and output value ranges must match. Overflow/underflow
values are clipped to fit within the range.
</details>
<hal_details>
HAL must support both FAST and HIGH_QUALITY if color correction control is available
on the camera device, but the underlying implementation can be the same for both modes.
That is, if the highest quality implementation on the camera device does not slow down
capture rate, then FAST and HIGH_QUALITY should generate the same output.

In the latter case, the camera device may round the matrix to account
for precision issues; the final rounded matrix should be reported back
in this matrix result metadata. The transform should keep the magnitude
of the output color values within `[0, 1.0]` (assuming input color
values is within the normalized range `[0, 1.0]`), or clipping may occur.

values within [-1.5, 3.0] are guaranteed not to be clipped.

These per-channel gains are either set by the camera device

TRANSFORM_MATRIX, or directly by the application in the
request when the android.colorCorrection.mode is
TRANSFORM_MATRIX.
The gains in the result metadata are the gains actually
applied by the camera device to the current frame.
The valid range of gains varies on different devices, but gains
between [1.0, 3.0] are guaranteed not to be clipped. Even if a given
device allows gains below 1.0, this is usually not recommended because
this can create color artifacts.
</details>
<hal_details>
The 4-channel white-balance gains are defined in
the order of `[R G_even G_odd B]`, where `G_even` is the gain
for green pixels on even rows of the output, and `G_odd`
is the gain for green pixels on the odd rows.
If a HAL does not support a separate gain for even/odd green
channels, it must use the `G_even` value, and write
`G_odd` equal to `G_even` in the output result metadata.

Chromatic (color) aberration is caused by the fact that different wavelengths of light
can not focus on the same point after exiting from the lens. This metadata defines
the high level control of chromatic aberration correction algorithm, which aims to
minimize the chromatic artifacts that may occur along the object boundaries in an
image.
FAST/HIGH_QUALITY both mean that camera device determined aberration
correction will be applied. HIGH_QUALITY mode indicates that the camera device will
use the highest-quality aberration correction algorithms, even if it slows down
capture rate. FAST means the camera device will not slow down capture rate when
applying aberration correction.
LEGACY devices will always be in FAST mode.

<details>
Some kinds of lighting fixtures, such as some fluorescent
lights, flicker at the rate of the power supply frequency
(60Hz or 50Hz, depending on country). While this is
typically not noticeable to a person, it can be visible to
a camera device. If a camera sets its exposure time to the
wrong value, the flicker may become visible in the
viewfinder as flicker or in a final captured image, as a
set of variable-brightness bands across the image.
Therefore, the auto-exposure routines of camera devices
include antibanding routines that ensure that the chosen
exposure value will not cause such banding. The choice of
exposure time depends on the rate of flicker, which the
camera device can detect automatically, or the expected
rate can be selected by the application using this
control.
A given camera device may not support all of the possible
options for the antibanding mode. The
android.control.aeAvailableAntibandingModes key contains
the available modes for a given camera device.
AUTO mode is the default if it is available on given
camera device. When AUTO mode is not available, the
default will be either 50HZ or 60HZ, and both 50HZ
and 60HZ will be available.
If manual exposure control is enabled (by setting
android.control.aeMode or android.control.mode to OFF),
then this setting has no effect, and the application must
ensure it selects exposure times that do not cause banding
issues. The android.statistics.sceneFlicker key can assist
the application in this.
</details>

For all capture request templates, this field must be set

<description>Adjustment to auto-exposure (AE) target image

<units>Compensation steps</units>
<range>android.control.aeCompensationRange</range>
<details>
The adjustment is measured as a count of steps, with the
step size defined by android.control.aeCompensationStep and the
allowed range by android.control.aeCompensationRange.
For example, if the exposure value (EV) step is 0.333, '6'
will mean an exposure compensation of +2 EV; -3 will mean an
exposure compensation of -1 EV. One EV represents a doubling
of image brightness. Note that this control will only be
effective if android.control.aeMode `!=` OFF. This control
will take effect even when android.control.aeLock `== true`.
In the event of exposure compensation value being changed, camera device
may take several frames to reach the newly requested exposure target.
During that time, android.control.aeState field will be in the SEARCHING
state. Once the new exposure target is reached, android.control.aeState will
change from SEARCHING to either CONVERGED, LOCKED (if AE lock is enabled), or
FLASH_REQUIRED (if the scene is too dark for still capture).

<details>
When set to `true` (ON), the AE algorithm is locked to its latest parameters,
and will not change exposure settings until the lock is set to `false` (OFF).
Note that even when AE is locked, the flash may be fired if
the android.control.aeMode is ON_AUTO_FLASH /
ON_ALWAYS_FLASH / ON_AUTO_FLASH_REDEYE.
When android.control.aeExposureCompensation is changed, even if the AE lock
is ON, the camera device will still adjust its exposure value.
If AE precapture is triggered (see android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger)
when AE is already locked, the camera device will not change the exposure time
(android.sensor.exposureTime) and sensitivity (android.sensor.sensitivity)
parameters. The flash may be fired if the android.control.aeMode
is ON_AUTO_FLASH/ON_AUTO_FLASH_REDEYE and the scene is too dark. If the
android.control.aeMode is ON_ALWAYS_FLASH, the scene may become overexposed.
Similarly, AE precapture trigger CANCEL has no effect when AE is already locked.
When an AE precapture sequence is triggered, AE unlock will not be able to unlock
the AE if AE is locked by the camera device internally during precapture metering
sequence In other words, submitting requests with AE unlock has no effect for an
ongoing precapture metering sequence. Otherwise, the precapture metering sequence
will never succeed in a sequence of preview requests where AE lock is always set
to `false`.
Since the camera device has a pipeline of in-flight requests, the settings that
get locked do not necessarily correspond to the settings that were present in the
latest capture result received from the camera device, since additional captures
and AE updates may have occurred even before the result was sent out. If an
application is switching between automatic and manual control and wishes to eliminate
any flicker during the switch, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Starting in auto-AE mode:
2. Lock AE
3. Wait for the first result to be output that has the AE locked
4. Copy exposure settings from that result into a request, set the request to manual AE
5. Submit the capture request, proceed to run manual AE as desired.
See android.control.aeState for AE lock related state transition details.

Not available if android.control.maxRegionsAe is 0.
Otherwise will always be present.
The maximum number of regions supported by the device is determined by the value
of android.control.maxRegionsAe.
For devices not supporting android.distortionCorrection.mode control, the coordinate
system always follows that of android.sensor.info.activeArraySize, with (0,0) being
the top-left pixel in the active pixel array, and
(android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.width - 1,
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.height - 1) being the bottom-right pixel in the
active pixel array.
For devices supporting android.distortionCorrection.mode control, the coordinate
system depends on the mode being set.
When the distortion correction mode is OFF, the coordinate system follows
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize, with
`(0, 0)` being the top-left pixel of the pre-correction active array, and
(android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize.width - 1,
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize.height - 1) being the bottom-right
pixel in the pre-correction active pixel array.
When the distortion correction mode is not OFF, the coordinate system follows
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize, with
`(0, 0)` being the top-left pixel of the active array, and
(android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.width - 1,
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.height - 1) being the bottom-right pixel in the
active pixel array.
The weight must be within `[0, 1000]`, and represents a weight
for every pixel in the area. This means that a large metering area
with the same weight as a smaller area will have more effect in
the metering result. Metering areas can partially overlap and the
camera device will add the weights in the overlap region.
The weights are relative to weights of other exposure metering regions, so if only one
region is used, all non-zero weights will have the same effect. A region with 0
weight is ignored.
If all regions have 0 weight, then no specific metering area needs to be used by the
camera device.
If the metering region is outside the used android.scaler.cropRegion returned in
capture result metadata, the camera device will ignore the sections outside the crop
region and output only the intersection rectangle as the metering region in the result
metadata. If the region is entirely outside the crop region, it will be ignored and
not reported in the result metadata.

<description>Whether the camera device will trigger a precapture

<details>This entry is normally set to IDLE, or is not
included at all in the request settings. When included and
set to START, the camera device will trigger the auto-exposure (AE)
precapture metering sequence.
When set to CANCEL, the camera device will cancel any active
precapture metering trigger, and return to its initial AE state.
If a precapture metering sequence is already completed, and the camera
device has implicitly locked the AE for subsequent still capture, the
CANCEL trigger will unlock the AE and return to its initial AE state.
The precapture sequence should be triggered before starting a
high-quality still capture for final metering decisions to
be made, and for firing pre-capture flash pulses to estimate
scene brightness and required final capture flash power, when
the flash is enabled.
Normally, this entry should be set to START for only a
single request, and the application should wait until the
sequence completes before starting a new one.
When a precapture metering sequence is finished, the camera device
may lock the auto-exposure routine internally to be able to accurately expose the
subsequent still capture image (`android.control.captureIntent == STILL_CAPTURE`).
For this case, the AE may not resume normal scan if no subsequent still capture is
submitted. To ensure that the AE routine restarts normal scan, the application should
submit a request with `android.control.aeLock == true`, followed by a request
with `android.control.aeLock == false`, if the application decides not to submit a
still capture request after the precapture sequence completes. Alternatively, for
API level 23 or newer devices, the CANCEL can be used to unlock the camera device
internally locked AE if the application doesn't submit a still capture request after
the AE precapture trigger. Note that, the CANCEL was added in API level 23, and must not
be used in devices that have earlier API levels.
The exact effect of auto-exposure (AE) precapture trigger
depends on the current AE mode and state; see
android.control.aeState for AE precapture state transition
details.
On LEGACY-level devices, the precapture trigger is not supported;
capturing a high-resolution JPEG image will automatically trigger a
precapture sequence before the high-resolution capture, including
potentially firing a pre-capture flash.
Using the precapture trigger and the auto-focus trigger android.control.afTrigger
simultaneously is allowed. However, since these triggers often require cooperation between
the auto-focus and auto-exposure routines (for example, the may need to be enabled for a
focus sweep), the camera device may delay acting on a later trigger until the previous
trigger has been fully handled. This may lead to longer intervals between the trigger and
changes to android.control.aeState indicating the start of the precapture sequence, for
example.
If both the precapture and the auto-focus trigger are activated on the same request, then
the camera device will complete them in the optimal order for that device.
</details>
<hal_details>
The HAL must support triggering the AE precapture trigger while an AF trigger is active
(and vice versa), or at the same time as the AF trigger. It is acceptable for the HAL to
treat these as two consecutive triggers, for example handling the AF trigger and then the
AE trigger. Or the HAL may choose to optimize the case with both triggers fired at once,
to minimize the latency for converging both focus and exposure/flash usage.

<description>Whether auto-focus (AF) is currently enabled, and what

<range>android.control.afAvailableModes</range>
<details>Only effective if android.control.mode = AUTO and the lens is not fixed focus
(i.e. `android.lens.info.minimumFocusDistance &gt; 0`). Also note that
when android.control.aeMode is OFF, the behavior of AF is device
dependent. It is recommended to lock AF by using android.control.afTrigger before
setting android.control.aeMode to OFF, or set AF mode to OFF when AE is OFF.
If the lens is controlled by the camera device auto-focus algorithm,
the camera device will report the current AF status in android.control.afState
in result metadata.</details>
<hal_details>
When afMode is AUTO or MACRO, the lens must not move until an AF trigger is sent in a
request (android.control.afTrigger `==` START). After an AF trigger, the afState will end
up with either FOCUSED_LOCKED or NOT_FOCUSED_LOCKED state (see
android.control.afState for detailed state transitions), which indicates that the lens is
locked and will not move. If camera movement (e.g. tilting camera) causes the lens to move
after the lens is locked, the HAL must compensate this movement appropriately such that
the same focal plane remains in focus.
When afMode is one of the continuous auto focus modes, the HAL is free to start a AF
scan whenever it's not locked. When the lens is locked after an AF trigger
(see android.control.afState for detailed state transitions), the HAL should maintain the
same lock behavior as above.
When afMode is OFF, the application controls focus manually. The accuracy of the
focus distance control depends on the android.lens.info.focusDistanceCalibration.
However, the lens must not move regardless of the camera movement for any focus distance
manual control.
To put this in concrete terms, if the camera has lens elements which may move based on
camera orientation or motion (e.g. due to gravity), then the HAL must drive the lens to
remain in a fixed position invariant to the camera's orientation or motion, for example,
by using accelerometer measurements in the lens control logic. This is a typical issue
that will arise on camera modules with open-loop VCMs.

The maximum number of focus areas supported by the device is determined by the value
of android.control.maxRegionsAf.
For devices not supporting android.distortionCorrection.mode control, the coordinate
system always follows that of android.sensor.info.activeArraySize, with (0,0) being
the top-left pixel in the active pixel array, and
(android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.width - 1,
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.height - 1) being the bottom-right pixel in the
active pixel array.
For devices supporting android.distortionCorrection.mode control, the coordinate
system depends on the mode being set.
When the distortion correction mode is OFF, the coordinate system follows
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize, with
`(0, 0)` being the top-left pixel of the pre-correction active array, and
(android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize.width - 1,
android.sensor.info.preCorrectionActiveArraySize.height - 1) being the bottom-right
pixel in the pre-correction active pixel array.
When the distortion correction mode is not OFF, the coordinate system follows
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize, with
`(0, 0)` being the top-left pixel of the active array, and
(android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.width - 1,
android.sensor.info.activeArraySize.height - 1) being the bottom-right pixel in the
active pixel array.
The weight must be within `[0, 1000]`, and represents a weight
for every pixel in the area. This means that a large metering area
with the same weight as a smaller area will have more effect in
the metering result. Metering areas can partially overlap and the
camera device will add the weights in the overlap region.
The weights are relative to weights of other metering regions, so if only one region
is used, all non-zero weights will have the same effect. A region with 0 weight is
ignored.
If all regions have 0 weight, then no specific metering area needs to be used by the
camera device. The capture result will either be a zero weight region as well, or
the region selected by the camera device as the focus area of interest.
If the metering region is outside the used android.scaler.cropRegion returned in
capture result metadata, the camera device will ignore the sections outside the crop
region and output only the intersection rectangle as the metering region in the result
metadata. If the region is entirely outside the crop region, it will be ignored and
not reported in the result metadata.

<details>
When set to `true` (ON), the AWB algorithm is locked to its latest parameters,
and will not change color balance settings until the lock is set to `false` (OFF).
Since the camera device has a pipeline of in-flight requests, the settings that
get locked do not necessarily correspond to the settings that were present in the
latest capture result received from the camera device, since additional captures
and AWB updates may have occurred even before the result was sent out. If an
application is switching between automatic and manual control and wishes to eliminate
any flicker during the switch, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Starting in auto-AWB mode:
2. Lock AWB
3. Wait for the first result to be output that has the AWB locked
4. Copy AWB settings from that result into a request, set the request to manual AWB
5. Submit the capture request, proceed to run manual AWB as desired.
Note that AWB lock is only meaningful when
android.control.awbMode is in the AUTO mode; in other modes,
AWB is already fixed to a specific setting.
Some LEGACY devices may not support ON; the value is then overridden to OFF.

<notes>
This is deprecated, please use {@link
android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession}
and {@link
android.hardware.camera2.CameraConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession#createHighSpeedRequestList}
for high speed video recording.
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
* android.control.aeTargetFpsRange
* android.control.aeExposureCompensation
* android.control.aeLock
* android.control.awbLock
* android.control.effectMode
* android.control.aeRegions
* android.control.afRegions
* android.control.awbRegions
* android.control.afTrigger
* android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger
Outside of android.control.*, the following controls will work:
* android.flash.mode (automatic flash for still capture will not work since aeMode is ON)
* android.lens.opticalStabilizationMode (if it is supported)
* android.scaler.cropRegion
* android.statistics.faceDetectMode
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.
</notes>
</value>
<value optional="true">HDR
<notes>
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, PRIVATE, 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.
Some devices may also support always-on HDR, which
applies HDR processing at full frame rate. For these
devices, intents other than STILL_CAPTURE will also
produce an HDR output with no frame rate impact compared
to normal operation, though the quality may be lower
than for STILL_CAPTURE intents.
If SCENE_MODE_HDR is used with unsupported output types
or capture intents, the images captured will be as if
the SCENE_MODE was not enabled at all.
</notes>
</value>
<value optional="true" hidden="true">FACE_PRIORITY_LOW_LIGHT
<notes>Same as FACE_PRIORITY scene mode, except that the camera
device will choose higher sensitivity values (android.sensor.sensitivity)
under low light conditions.
The camera device may be tuned to expose the images in a reduced
sensitivity range to produce the best quality images. For example,
if the android.sensor.info.sensitivityRange gives range of [100, 1600],
the camera device auto-exposure routine tuning process may limit the actual
exposure sensitivity range to [100, 1200] to ensure that the noise level isn't
exessive in order to preserve the image quality. Under this situation, the image under
low light may be under-exposed when the sensor max exposure time (bounded by the
android.control.aeTargetFpsRange when android.control.aeMode is one of the
ON_* modes) and effective max sensitivity are reached. This scene mode allows the
camera device auto-exposure routine to increase the sensitivity up to the max
sensitivity specified by android.sensor.info.sensitivityRange when the scene is too
dark and the max exposure time is reached. The captured images may be noisier
compared with the images captured in normal FACE_PRIORITY mode; therefore, it is
recommended that the application only use this scene mode when it is capable of
reducing the noise level of the captured images.
Unlike the other scene modes, android.control.aeMode,
android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode
remain active when FACE_PRIORITY_LOW_LIGHT is set.

`android.control.mode == USE_SCENE_MODE`. Aside from FACE_PRIORITY, these modes will
disable android.control.aeMode, android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode
while in use.
The interpretation and implementation of these scene modes is left
to the implementor of the camera device. Their behavior will not be
consistent across all devices, and any given device may only implement
a subset of these modes.
</details>
<hal_details>
HAL implementations that include scene modes are expected to provide
the per-scene settings to use for android.control.aeMode,
android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode in
android.control.sceneModeOverrides.
For HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO mode, if it is included in android.control.availableSceneModes, the
HAL must list supported video size and fps range in
android.control.availableHighSpeedVideoConfigurations. For a given size, e.g. 1280x720,
if the HAL has two different sensor configurations for normal streaming mode and high
speed streaming, when this scene mode is set/reset in a sequence of capture requests, the
HAL may have to switch between different sensor modes. This mode is deprecated in legacy
HAL3.3, to support high speed video recording, please implement
android.control.availableHighSpeedVideoConfigurations and CONSTRAINED_HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO
capbility defined in android.request.availableCapabilities.

<description>Whether video stabilization is

<details>
Video stabilization automatically warps images from
the camera in order to stabilize motion between consecutive frames.
If enabled, video stabilization can modify the
android.scaler.cropRegion to keep the video stream stabilized.
Switching between different video stabilization modes may take several
frames to initialize, the camera device will report the current mode
in capture result metadata. For example, When "ON" mode is requested,
the video stabilization modes in the first several capture results may
still be "OFF", and it will become "ON" when the initialization is
done.
In addition, not all recording sizes or frame rates may be supported for
stabilization by a device that reports stabilization support. It is guaranteed
that an output targeting a MediaRecorder or MediaCodec will be stabilized if
the recording resolution is less than or equal to 1920 x 1080 (width less than
or equal to 1920, height less than or equal to 1080), and the recording
frame rate is less than or equal to 30fps. At other sizes, the CaptureResult
android.control.videoStabilizationMode field will return
OFF if the recording output is not stabilized, or if there are no output
Surface types that can be stabilized.
If a camera device supports both this mode and OIS
(android.lens.opticalStabilizationMode), turning both modes on may
produce undesirable interaction, so it is recommended not to enable
both at the same time.

<description>
Ordered list of auto-exposure, auto-white balance, and auto-focus
settings to use with each available scene mode.
</description>
<range>
For each available scene mode, the list must contain three
entries containing the android.control.aeMode,
android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode values used
by the camera device. The entry order is `(aeMode, awbMode, afMode)`
where aeMode has the lowest index position.
</range>
<details>
When a scene mode is enabled, the camera device is expected
to override android.control.aeMode, android.control.awbMode,
and android.control.afMode with its preferred settings for
that scene mode.
The order of this list matches that of availableSceneModes,
with 3 entries for each mode. The overrides listed
for FACE_PRIORITY and FACE_PRIORITY_LOW_LIGHT (if supported) are ignored,
since for that mode the application-set android.control.aeMode,
android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode values are
used instead, matching the behavior when android.control.mode
is set to AUTO. It is recommended that the FACE_PRIORITY and
FACE_PRIORITY_LOW_LIGHT (if supported) overrides should be set to 0.
For example, if availableSceneModes contains
`(FACE_PRIORITY, ACTION, NIGHT)`, then the camera framework
expects sceneModeOverrides to have 9 entries formatted like:
`(0, 0, 0, ON_AUTO_FLASH, AUTO, CONTINUOUS_PICTURE,
ON_AUTO_FLASH, INCANDESCENT, AUTO)`.
</details>
<hal_details>
To maintain backward compatibility, this list will be made available
in the static metadata of the camera service. The camera service will
use these values to set android.control.aeMode,
android.control.awbMode, and android.control.afMode when using a scene
mode other than FACE_PRIORITY and FACE_PRIORITY_LOW_LIGHT (if supported).

Any state (excluding LOCKED) | android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger is START | PRECAPTURE | Start AE precapture metering sequence
Any state (excluding LOCKED) | android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger is CANCEL| INACTIVE | Currently active precapture metering sequence is canceled
If the camera device supports AE external flash mode (ON_EXTERNAL_FLASH is included in
android.control.aeAvailableModes), android.control.aeState must be FLASH_REQUIRED after
the camera device finishes AE scan and it's too dark without flash.
For the above table, the camera device may skip reporting any state changes that happen
without application intervention (i.e. mode switch, trigger, locking). Any state that
can be skipped in that manner is called a transient state.
For example, for above AE modes (AE_MODE_ON*), in addition to the state transitions
listed in above table, it is also legal for the camera device to skip one or more
transient states between two results. See below table for examples:

camera device. When a trigger is included in a mode switch request, the trigger
will be evaluated in the context of the new mode in the request.

List of available high speed video size, fps range and max batch size configurations
supported by the camera device, in the format of (width, height, fps_min, fps_max, batch_size_max).
</description>
<range>
For each configuration, the fps_max &amp;gt;= 120fps.
</range>
<details>
When CONSTRAINED_HIGH_SPEED_VIDEO is supported in android.request.availableCapabilities,
this metadata will list the supported high speed video size, fps range and max batch size
configurations. All the sizes listed in this configuration will be a subset of the sizes
reported by {@link android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap#getOutputSizes}
for processed non-stalling formats.
For the high speed video use case, the application must
select the video size and fps range from this metadata to configure the recording and
preview streams and setup the recording requests. For example, if the application intends
to do high speed recording, it can select the maximum size reported by this metadata to
configure output streams. Once the size is selected, application can filter this metadata
by selected size and get the supported fps ranges, and use these fps ranges to setup the
recording requests. Note that for the use case of multiple output streams, application
must select one unique size from this metadata to use (e.g., preview and recording streams
must have the same size). Otherwise, the high speed capture session creation will fail.
The min and max fps will be multiple times of 30fps.
High speed video streaming extends significant performance pressue to camera hardware,
to achieve efficient high speed streaming, the camera device may have to aggregate
multiple frames together and send to camera device for processing where the request
controls are same for all the frames in this batch. Max batch size indicates
the max possible number of frames the camera device will group together for this high
speed stream configuration. This max batch size will be used to generate a high speed
recording request list by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession#createHighSpeedRequestList}.
The max batch size for each configuration will satisfy below conditions:
* Each max batch size will be a divisor of its corresponding fps_max / 30. For example,
if max_fps is 300, max batch size will only be 1, 2, 5, or 10.
* The camera device may choose smaller internal batch size for each configuration, but
the actual batch size will be a divisor of max batch size. For example, if the max batch
size is 8, the actual batch size used by camera device will only be 1, 2, 4, or 8.
* The max batch size in each configuration entry must be no larger than 32.
The camera device doesn't have to support batch mode to achieve high speed video recording,
in such case, batch_size_max will be reported as 1 in each configuration entry.
This fps ranges in this configuration list can only be used to create requests
that are submitted to a high speed camera capture session created by
{@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createConstrainedHighSpeedCaptureSession}.
The fps ranges reported in this metadata must not be used to setup capture requests for
normal capture session, or it will cause request error.
</details>
<hal_details>
All the sizes listed in this configuration will be a subset of the sizes reported by
android.scaler.availableStreamConfigurations for processed non-stalling output formats.
Note that for all high speed video configurations, HAL must be able to support a minimum
of two streams, though the application might choose to configure just one stream.
The HAL may support multiple sensor modes for high speed outputs, for example, 120fps
sensor mode and 120fps recording, 240fps sensor mode for 240fps recording. The application
usually starts preview first, then starts recording. To avoid sensor mode switch caused
stutter when starting recording as much as possible, the application may want to ensure
the same sensor mode is used for preview and recording. Therefore, The HAL must advertise
the variable fps range [30, fps_max] for each fixed fps range in this configuration list.
For example, if the HAL advertises [120, 120] and [240, 240], the HAL must also advertise
[30, 120] and [30, 240] for each configuration. In doing so, if the application intends to
do 120fps recording, it can select [30, 120] to start preview, and [120, 120] to start
recording. For these variable fps ranges, it's up to the HAL to decide the actual fps
values that are suitable for smooth preview streaming. If the HAL sees different max_fps
values that fall into different sensor modes in a sequence of requests, the HAL must
switch the sensor mode as quick as possible to minimize the mode switch caused stutter.

Devices support post RAW sensitivity boost will advertise
android.control.postRawSensitivityBoost key for controling
post RAW sensitivity boost.
This key will be `null` for devices that do not support any RAW format
outputs. For devices that do support RAW format outputs, this key will always
present, and if a device does not support post RAW sensitivity boost, it will
list `(100, 100)` in this key.
</details>
<hal_details>
This key is added in legacy HAL3.4. For legacy HAL3.3 or earlier devices, camera
framework will generate this key as `(100, 100)` if device supports any of RAW output
formats. All legacy HAL3.4 and above devices should list this key if device supports
any of RAW output formats.

<details>
Some camera devices support additional digital sensitivity boosting in the
camera processing pipeline after sensor RAW image is captured.
Such a boost will be applied to YUV/JPEG format output images but will not
have effect on RAW output formats like RAW_SENSOR, RAW10, RAW12 or RAW_OPAQUE.
This key will be `null` for devices that do not support any RAW format
outputs. For devices that do support RAW format outputs, this key will always
present, and if a device does not support post RAW sensitivity boost, it will
list `100` in this key.
If the camera device cannot apply the exact boost requested, it will reduce the
boost to the nearest supported value.
The final boost value used will be available in the output capture result.
For devices that support post RAW sensitivity boost, the YUV/JPEG output images
of such device will have the total sensitivity of
`android.sensor.sensitivity * android.control.postRawSensitivityBoost / 100`
The sensitivity of RAW format images will always be `android.sensor.sensitivity`
This control is only effective if android.control.aeMode or android.control.mode is set to
OFF; otherwise the auto-exposure algorithm will override this value.

<details>
If enableZsl is `true`, the camera device may enable zero-shutter-lag mode for requests with
STILL_CAPTURE capture intent. The camera device may use images captured in the past to
produce output images for a zero-shutter-lag request. The result metadata including the
android.sensor.timestamp reflects the source frames used to produce output images.
Therefore, the contents of the output images and the result metadata may be out of order
compared to previous regular requests. enableZsl does not affect requests with other
capture intents.
For example, when requests are submitted in the following order:
Request A: enableZsl is ON, android.control.captureIntent is PREVIEW
Request B: enableZsl is ON, android.control.captureIntent is STILL_CAPTURE
The output images for request B may have contents captured before the output images for
request A, and the result metadata for request B may be older than the result metadata for
request A.
Note that when enableZsl is `true`, it is not guaranteed to get output images captured in
the past for requests with STILL_CAPTURE capture intent.
For applications targeting SDK versions O and newer, the value of enableZsl in
TEMPLATE_STILL_CAPTURE template may be `true`. The value in other templates is always
`false` if present.
For applications targeting SDK versions older than O, the value of enableZsl in all
capture templates is always `false` if present.
For application-operated ZSL, use CAMERA3_TEMPLATE_ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG template.

resolution (see {@link
android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice#createCaptureSession|ACameraDevice_createCaptureSession})
or below have edge enhancement applied, while higher-resolution streams have no edge
enhancement applied. The level of edge enhancement for low-resolution streams is tuned
so that frame rate is not impacted, and the quality is equal to or better than FAST
(since it is only applied to lower-resolution outputs, quality may improve from FAST).
This mode is intended to be used by applications operating in a zero-shutter-lag mode
with YUV or PRIVATE reprocessing, where the application continuously captures
high-resolution intermediate buffers into a circular buffer, from which a final image is
produced via reprocessing when a user takes a picture. For such a use case, the
high-resolution buffers must not have edge enhancement applied to maximize efficiency of
preview and to avoid double-applying enhancement when reprocessed, while low-resolution
buffers (used for recording or preview, generally) need edge enhancement applied for
reasonable preview quality.
This mode is guaranteed to be supported by devices that support either the
YUV_REPROCESSING or PRIVATE_REPROCESSING capabilities
(android.request.availableCapabilities lists either of those capabilities) and it will
be the default mode for CAMERA3_TEMPLATE_ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG template.

<description>Operation mode for edge
enhancement.</description>
<range>android.edge.availableEdgeModes</range>
<details>Edge enhancement improves sharpness and details in the captured image. OFF means
no enhancement will be applied by the camera device.
FAST/HIGH_QUALITY both mean camera device determined enhancement
will be applied. HIGH_QUALITY mode indicates that the
camera device will use the highest-quality enhancement algorithms,
even if it slows down capture rate. FAST means the camera device will
not slow down capture rate when applying edge enhancement. FAST may be the same as OFF if
edge enhancement will slow down capture rate. Every output stream will have a similar
amount of enhancement applied.
ZERO_SHUTTER_LAG is meant to be used by applications that maintain a continuous circular
buffer of high-resolution images during preview and reprocess image(s) from that buffer
into a final capture when triggered by the user. In this mode, the camera device applies
edge enhancement to low-resolution streams (below maximum recording resolution) to
maximize preview quality, but does not apply edge enhancement to high-resolution streams,
since those will be reprocessed later if necessary.
For YUV_REPROCESSING, these FAST/HIGH_QUALITY modes both mean that the camera
device will apply FAST/HIGH_QUALITY YUV-domain edge enhancement, respectively.
The camera device may adjust its internal edge enhancement parameters for best
image quality based on the android.reprocess.effectiveExposureFactor, if it is set.
</details>
<hal_details>
For YUV_REPROCESSING The HAL can use android.reprocess.effectiveExposureFactor to
adjust the internal edge enhancement reduction parameters appropriately to get the best
quality images.

This control is only effective when flash unit is available

Otherwise, the camera device auto-exposure related flash control (ON_AUTO_FLASH,

When set to OFF, the camera device will not fire flash for this capture.
When set to SINGLE, the camera device will fire flash regardless of the camera
device's auto-exposure routine's result. When used in still capture case, this
control should be used along with auto-exposure (AE) precapture metering sequence
(android.control.aePrecaptureTrigger), otherwise, the image may be incorrectly exposed.
When set to TORCH, the flash will be on continuously. This mode can be used
for use cases such as preview, auto-focus assist, still capture, or video recording.
The flash status will be reported by android.flash.state in the capture result metadata.

<details>
The clockwise rotation angle in degrees, relative to the orientation
to the camera, that the JPEG picture needs to be rotated by, to be viewed
upright.
Camera devices may either encode this value into the JPEG EXIF header, or
rotate the image data to match this orientation. When the image data is rotated,
the thumbnail data will also be rotated.
Note that this orientation is relative to the orientation of the camera sensor, given
by android.sensor.orientation.
To translate from the device orientation given by the Android sensor APIs for camera
sensors which are not EXTERNAL, the following sample code may be used:
private int getJpegOrientation(CameraCharacteristics c, int deviceOrientation) {
if (deviceOrientation == android.view.OrientationEventListener.ORIENTATION_UNKNOWN) return 0;
int sensorOrientation = c.get(CameraCharacteristics.SENSOR_ORIENTATION);
// Round device orientation to a multiple of 90
deviceOrientation = (deviceOrientation + 45) / 90 * 90;
// Reverse device orientation for front-facing cameras
boolean facingFront = c.get(CameraCharacteristics.LENS_FACING) == CameraCharacteristics.LENS_FACING_FRONT;
if (facingFront) deviceOrientation = -deviceOrientation;
// Calculate desired JPEG orientation relative to camera orientation to make
// the image upright relative to the device orientation
int jpegOrientation = (sensorOrientation + deviceOrientation + 360) % 360;
return jpegOrientation;
}
For EXTERNAL cameras the sensor orientation will always be set to 0 and the facing will
also be set to EXTERNAL. The above code is not relevant in such case.
This tag is also used to describe the orientation of the HEIC image capture, in which
case the rotation is reflected by
{@link android.media.ExifInterface#TAG_ORIENTATION EXIF orientation flag}, and not by
rotating the image data itself.

<range>android.jpeg.availableThumbnailSizes</range>
<details>When set to (0, 0) value, the JPEG EXIF will not contain thumbnail,
but the captured JPEG will still be a valid image.
For best results, when issuing a request for a JPEG image, the thumbnail size selected
should have the same aspect ratio as the main JPEG output.
If the thumbnail image aspect ratio differs from the JPEG primary image aspect
ratio, the camera device creates the thumbnail by cropping it from the primary image.
For example, if the primary image has 4:3 aspect ratio, the thumbnail image has
16:9 aspect ratio, the primary image will be cropped vertically (letterbox) to
generate the thumbnail image. The thumbnail image will always have a smaller Field
Of View (FOV) than the primary image when aspect ratios differ.
When an android.jpeg.orientation of non-zero degree is requested,
the camera device will handle thumbnail rotation in one of the following ways:
* Set the {@link android.media.ExifInterface#TAG_ORIENTATION EXIF orientation flag}
and keep jpeg and thumbnail image data unrotated.
