Remarks

When making a set request, provide one of the values in the preceding table in the Value member of the KSPROPERTY_CAMERACONTROL_NODE_S structure.

When making a get request, the client receives one of the values in the preceding table in the Value member of the KSPROPERTY_CAMERACONTROL_NODE_S structure. The value indicates the current focus setting for the camera.

Note that a particular device might support only a certain speed range. To determine the range of speeds supported by the device, an application can issue a KSPROPERTY_TYPE_BASICSUPPORT request. You can specify KSPROPERTY_TYPE_BASICSUPPORT in the Flags member of the KSPROPERTY_ITEM structure.

Some devices support only a single focus speed. In this case, the sign of the Value member simply indicates whether the lens should shorten its focus or lengthen it.
