If the camera has a standard DirectShow driver that supports the common Camera Control specification, you can use the LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK to control it: https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/multimedia/capture The Camera Control specification allows you to get and set properties like zoom, exposure, iris, pan, tilt, focus and roll. The following code shows how the .NET Capture control from LEADTOOLS does that: //Assuming the camera is the very first device //If it's not, change the value to its index instead of zero captureCtrl.VideoDevices.Selection = 0; // reference the camera control CameraControl camera = captureCtrl.CameraControl; if (camera == null) { MessageBox.Show("Device does not support camera control"); return; } // try to set some camera auto properties camera.AutoFocus = true; camera.AutoTilt = false; camera.AutoZoom = true; // now try to set some camera manual properties camera.Focus = camera.FocusInfo.Max; camera.Tilt = camera.TiltInfo.Min; camera.Zoom = camera.ZoomInfo.Min; // now increment a property by the stepping delta camera.Zoom += camera.ZoomInfo.StepDelta;
