Camera Capabilities
Camera capabilities usually change from one camera to another and often change from one release to the next. Below are documents that detail whitelists for basic video settings for every supported camera release.
These capability documents define supported camera states. Each state is comprised of a set of setting options that are
presented in dependency order. This means each state is guaranteed to be attainable if and only if the setting options
are set in the order presented. Failure to adhere to dependency ordering may result in the camera’s blacklist rules
rejecting a Set Setting command.
| Camera | Command 1 | Command 2 | Command 3 | Command 4 | Command 5 | Guaranteed Valid? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hero 10 Black | Res: 1080 | Anti-Flicker: 60 Hz | FPS: 240 | FOV: Wide | Hypersmooth: Off | ✔ |
| Hero 10 Black | Res: 240 | Anti-Flicker: 60 Hz | RES: 1080 | FOV: Wide | Hypersmooth: off | ❌ |
In the example above, the first set of commands will always work for basic video presets such as Standard.
In the second example, suppose the camera’s Video Resolution was previously set to 4K. If the user tries to set Video FPS to 240, it will fail because 4K/240fps is not supported.
Capability documents for each camera / firmware version can be found in the following file formats:
XLSX
An XLSX file can be found here.
The capabilities spreadsheet contains worksheets for every supported release. Each row in a worksheet represents a whitelisted state and is presented in dependency order as outlined above.
JSON
A JSON file can be found here.
The capabilities JSON contains a set of whitelist states for every supported release. Each state is comprised of a list
of objects that contain setting and option IDs necessary to construct
Set Setting commands and are given in dependency
order as outlined above. For more information on the object format, see the
JSON schema.
