SDL_GetCameraFormat - Man Page

Get the spec that a camera is using when generating images.

Synopsis

#include <SDL3/SDL_camera.h>

bool SDL_GetCameraFormat(SDL_Camera *camera, SDL_CameraSpec *spec);

Description

Note that this might not be the native format of the hardware, as SDL might be converting to this format behind the scenes.

If the system is waiting for the user to approve access to the camera, as some platforms require, this will return false, but this isn't necessarily a fatal error; you should either wait for an SDL_EVENT_CAMERA_DEVICE_APPROVED (or SDL_EVENT_CAMERA_DEVICE_DENIED) event, or poll SDL_GetCameraPermissionState() occasionally until it returns non-zero.

spec
