#!/usr/bin/env python ''' VideoCapture sample showcasing some features of the Video4Linux2 backend Sample shows how VideoCapture class can be used to control parameters of a webcam such as focus or framerate. Also the sample provides an example how to access raw images delivered by the hardware to get a grayscale image in a very efficient fashion.
