Examples

Here is an example that shows how to setup and take low lag photos. It displays the captured photo and thumbnail in Image objects. The XAML creates a simple UI with a two Image objects and some Button objects to interact with the MediaCapture element. In code, there is a method to initialize the MediaCapture object, a method to initialize the LowLagPhotoCapture object, a method to take the photo and display it, and a method to shutdown the LowLagPhotoCapture.

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
    <Image x:Name="imageLowLagPhoto" Stretch="None" 
           Width="320" Height="240" />
    <Image x:Name="imageLowLagThumbnail" Stretch="None" 
           Width="320" Height="240" />
</StackPanel>

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
    <Button Click="InitMediaCapture_Click" Content="Initialize Camera" />
    <Button Click="InitLowLagPhotoCapture_Click" Content="Initialize Low Lag Photo Capture"/>
    <Button Click="CaptureLagPhotoCapture_Click" Content="Capture Low Lag Photo"/>
    <Button Click="CloseLagPhotoCapture_Click" Content="Finish low Lag Capture"/>
</StackPanel>
