Using "LiveApplet"

Starting Camera Control

Although multiple clients can simultaneously connect to the camera server, multiple clients cannot simultaneously control the camera. Consequently, "control privileges" has been introduced by which only the client who currently holds the control privileges can control the camera. Backlight adjustment and presets can also only be used when you have control privileges.

Procedure

Click the [Start control] button to acquire control privileges.
