/**
 * The Camera class is used to connect/disconnect with the camera service,
 * set capture settings, start/stop preview, snap a picture, and retrieve
 * frames for encoding for video.
 * <p>There is no default constructor for this class. Use {@link #open()} to
 * get a Camera object.</p>
 *
 * <p>In order to use the device camera, you must declare the
 * {@link android.Manifest.permission#CAMERA} permission in your Android
 * Manifest. Also be sure to include the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html">&lt;uses-feature></a>
 * manifest element in order to declare camera features used by your application.
 * For example, if you use the camera and auto-focus feature, your Manifest
 * should include the following:</p>
 * <pre> &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
 * &lt;uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
 * &lt;uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" /></pre>
 *
 * <p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> Different Android-powered devices
 * may have different hardware specifications, such as megapixel ratings and
 * auto-focus capabilities. In order for your application to be compatible with
 * more devices, you should not make assumptions about the device camera
 * specifications.</p>
