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. The use of backlight adjustment and presets is also limited to the client who currently holds the control privileges.
