ICameraControl::put_ZoomRelative method (vidcap.h)

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The put_ZoomRelative method sets the camera's relative zoom. The relative zoom indicates the direction in which the lens is moving.

Syntax

HRESULT put_ZoomRelative(
  [in] long Value,
  [in] long Flags
);

Parameters

[in] Value

Specifies the relative zoom. The size of the value represents the desired zoom speed; a higher value represents a higher speed. To get the range of possible values, call ICameraControl::getRange_ZoomRelative.

Value Description

Positive value Start moving the zoom lens in the telephoto direction (initiate zoom-in).
Negative value Start moving the zoom lens in the wide angle direction (initiate zoom-out).

[in] Flags
