Extends Item

Camera

The Camera element displays the camera viewfinder.

Camera {
    width: 200
    height: 150
    enabled: true
}

property Bool enabled: false

When true, the Camera element is enabled and will load and display the viewfinder.

The camera consumes power, so should only be enabled when it is actually in use.

After the camera is first enabled, there is momentary delay before the viewfinder is displayed and the camera is ready to take pictures. The status property can be used to determine when the camera is ready.

Camera {
    width: 300
    height: 150
    enabled: true
}

property Bool front: false

By default the Camera element will use the main rear camera. To use the front camera set the front property to true.

Camera {
    width: 300
    height: 150
    front: true
    enabled: true
}

property Camera.Status statusread only

The status of the Camera.

Camera.Status.Idle

The element is disabled.

Camera.Status.Loading

The camera is enabled but still loading. It is not yet ready to display the viewfinder or take pictures.

Camera.Status.Ready

The camera is ready. It is displaying the viewfinder and is able to take pictures.

Camera.Status.Failed

property Camera.FillMode fillMode: .Cover

When the size of the Video item is different from the size of the video, the fillMode controls how the video fills the space available to it.

Camera.FillMode.Stretch

The camera image will be stretched to fit the exact width and height of the item, even if this distorts the image.

Camera.FillMode.Fit

Scales the camera image by its aspect ratio to fit the item. This may add padding around the image, but will not crop it.

Camera.FillMode.Cover

Scales the camera image by its aspect ratio to completely fill the item. This might result in some of the image being cropped out.

Camera {
    width: 400
    height: 100

    fillMode: Camera.FillMode.Stretch
}
