ramp(toVideoZoomFactor:withRate:)
Begins a smooth transition from the current zoom factor to another.
Declaration
func ramp(toVideoZoomFactor factor: CGFloat, withRate rate: Float)Parameters
- factor:
The new magnification factor.
- rate:
The rate at which to transition to the new magnification factor, specified in powers of two per second.
Discussion
Allowed values for factor range from 1.0 (full field of view) to the videoMaxZoomFactor specified by the active capture format.
During a ramp, the zoom factor changes at an exponential rate, but this yields a visually linear transition. The rate parameter controls the speed of this transition independent of direction; for example, a value of 1.0 causes zoom factor to double every second if zooming in (that’s, if the specified factor is greater than the current videoZoomFactor) or halve every second if zooming out.
Before calling this method, you must call lockForConfiguration() to acquire exclusive access to the device’s configuration properties. If you don’t, calling this method raises an exception. When you finish configuring the device, call unlockForConfiguration() to release the lock and allow other devices to configure the settings.
