It's included for 10.5. I don't think you want Image Capture for
your app, though as this API is mainly for downloading images from
the camera after a photo shoot. I don't believe there is any
mechanism for causing the picture to be taken (from a button click
in your app for example).
Believes won't help you ;) ImageCapture is an wrapper layer around PTP
and Twain. Cameras are accessed via PTP. Whether a camera allows
picture taking to be controlled (aka tethering) depends completely on
the camera firmware. Just as a sample matrix for DSLRs:
The Konika-Minolta / Sony implementation is pathetic. It allows to
download taken images, no access to any camera internals
Canon implementation is nice. They have a baseline feature set
(download images, grab new pictures, change a few camera properties)
Nikon implementation is also nice. Same as Canon with additional
access to nearly all camera settings
Olympus implementation: Designed with the low-end consumer in mind.
Camera asks you which USB protocol (Mass storage or PTP) to use, then
allows access to some properties and IIRC making remote shots.
QTKit is probably more appropriate from what you're describing. You
could start here: http://tinyurl.com/4rtab7 for that.
QTKit allows to manage media in movies.
QTCapture is an API for access to video cameras!?!
