# Samples - Camera Control

This sample shows how to capture images with the ZED SDK video module and adjust camera settings. It demonstrates how to change the ZED camera's video settings and display the resulting image in an OpenCV window.

## Getting Started

* First, download the latest version of the [ZED SDK](https://www.stereolabs.com/developers/).
* Download the [Camera Control](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/camera%20control) sample code in C++, Python or C#.

## Overview

The sample lets you interactively adjust the following video settings and see the effect live on the camera image:

* Brightness
* Contrast
* Saturation
* Hue
* Sharpness
* Gamma
* Gain
* Exposure
* Automatic `GAIN_EXP` behavior
* White balance
* LED state

For the full list of available settings and their ranges, see [Using the Video API](/docs/development/zed-sdk/modules/camera/camera-controls/).
