Controlling the camera
The QCameraFocus class is mentioned to control the zoom and focus of the camera. Speaking of zoom, Qt supports both optical and digital zoom. As we all know, optical zoom offers a better quality than digital. Hence, optical zoom should take priority over digital.
Drag a horizontal slider and a label to MainWindow pane's verticalLayout just above the capture button. Name them zoomSlider and zoomLabel, respectively. Remember to change the text of zoomLabel to Zoom and Horizontal in alignment to AlignHCenter.
