Camera usage

I think your camera must have to have a VFW driver ( video for windows ), or V4L ( video for linux ).I "think" a WDM driver for Windows works too.

Whenever I want to grab photos / single frames from a webcam, I've been opening a video feed. So I can view the live video on screen, and grab an image from that.

Here's full source code to do that :

However, since it's opening a video feed, you only get the max video resolution available to JMF.

So if your camera supports still photos at 1600 x 1200, but only video capture at 640 x 480.... then JMF will probably only be able to capture video & photos at 640 x 480.
