___

### hdr

• `Optional` **hdr**: `boolean`

Enables or disables HDR on this camera device. Make sure the given `format` supports HDR mode.

Requires `format` to be set.

#### Defined in

[CameraProps.ts:125](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/c66550ed/package/src/CameraProps.ts#L125)

___

### isActive

• **isActive**: `boolean`

Whether the Camera should actively stream video frames, or not. See the [documentation about the `isActive` prop](https://react-native-vision-camera.com/docs/guides/lifecycle#the-isactive-prop) for more information.

This can be compared to a Video component, where `isActive` specifies whether the video is paused or not.

> Note: If you fully unmount the `<Camera>` component instead of using `isActive={false}`, the Camera will take a bit longer to start again. In return, it will use less resources since the Camera will be completely destroyed when unmounted.

#### Defined in

___

### orientation

• `Optional` **orientation**: `Orientation`

Represents the orientation of all Camera Outputs (Photo, Video, and Frame Processor). If this value is not set, the device orientation is used.

#### Defined in

[CameraProps.ts:177](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/c66550ed/package/src/CameraProps.ts#L177)

___

### photo

• `Optional` **photo**: `boolean`

Enables **photo capture** with the `takePhoto` function (see ["Taking Photos"](https://react-native-vision-camera.com/docs/guides/capturing#taking-photos))

#### Defined in

[CameraProps.ts:51](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/c66550ed/package/src/CameraProps.ts#L51)

___

### pixelFormat

• `Optional` **pixelFormat**: ``"yuv"`` \| ``"rgb"`` \| ``"native"``

Specifies the pixel format for the video pipeline.

Frames from a [Frame Processor](https://mrousavy.github.io/react-native-vision-camera/docs/guides/frame-processors) will be streamed in the pixel format specified here.

While `native` and `yuv` are the most efficient formats, some ML models (such as MLKit Barcode detection) require input Frames to be in RGB colorspace, otherwise they just output nonsense.

- `native`: The hardware native GPU buffer format. This is the most efficient format. (`PRIVATE` on Android, sometimes YUV on iOS)
- `yuv`: The YUV (Y'CbCr 4:2:0 or NV21, 8-bit) format, either video- or full-range, depending on hardware capabilities. This is the second most efficient format.
- `rgb`: The RGB (RGB, RGBA or ABGRA, 8-bit) format. This is least efficient and requires explicit conversion.

**`Default`**

`native`

#### Defined in

[CameraProps.ts:75](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/c66550ed/package/src/CameraProps.ts#L75)

___

### torch

• `Optional` **torch**: ``"off"`` \| ``"on"``

Set the current torch mode.

Note: The torch is only available on `"back"` cameras, and isn't supported by every phone.

**`Default`**

"off"

#### Defined in

[CameraProps.ts:86](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/c66550ed/package/src/CameraProps.ts#L86)

___

### video

• `Optional` **video**: `boolean`

Enables **video capture** with the `startRecording` function (see ["Recording Videos"](https://react-native-vision-camera.com/docs/guides/capturing/#recording-videos))

Note: If both the `photo` and `video` properties are enabled at the same time and the device is running at a `hardwareLevel` of `'legacy'` or `'limited'`, VisionCamera _might_ use a lower resolution for video capture due to hardware constraints.

#### Defined in

[CameraProps.ts:57](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/c66550ed/package/src/CameraProps.ts#L57)

___

### videoStabilizationMode

• `Optional` **videoStabilizationMode**: [`VideoStabilizationMode`](../#videostabilizationmode)

Specifies the video stabilization mode to use.

Requires a `format` to be set that contains the given `videoStabilizationMode`.

#### Defined in

[CameraProps.ts:137](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/c66550ed/package/src/CameraProps.ts#L137)

___

### zoom

• `Optional` **zoom**: `number`

Specifies the zoom factor of the current camera, in "factor"/scale.

This value ranges from `minZoom` (e.g. `1`) to `maxZoom` (e.g. `128`). It is recommended to set this value
to the CameraDevice's `neutralZoom` per default and let the user zoom out to the fish-eye (ultra-wide) camera
on demand (if available)

**Note:** Linearly increasing this value always appears logarithmic to the user.

**`Default`**

1.0

#### Defined in

[CameraProps.ts:98](https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/c66550ed/package/src/CameraProps.ts#L98)
