The Qt Multimedia API provides a number of camera related classes, so you
can access images and videos from mobile device cameras or webcameras.

Finally, once a perfectly focused, exposed and processed image has been
created, it can be put to good use. Camera images can be further processed
by application code (for example, to detect barcodes, or to stitch together),
or saved to a common format like JPEG, or used to create a movie. Many of
these tasks have classes to assist them.

\section2 Controlling the Imaging Pipeline
Now that the basics of capturing images or movies are covered, there are a number

As explained earlier, several physical and electronic elements combine to determine
the final images, and you can control them with different classes.
