Right device, right camera controls

Not every camera exposes the same features to a website. Some browsers allow manual zoom, torch or focus changes; others provide only a video stream. MedCam inspects the active camera after permission and only presents available controls.

What is checked?

The browser's video track may provide its current width, height, facing direction, supported zoom range and focus modes. The controls are offered only when the browser reports useful values. If applying a setting fails or cannot be verified, MedCam hides that control rather than showing false success.

How to use the positioning guide

The 2.5D illustration uses a low-resolution estimate of the film's position. It can suggest moving left, right, up, down, closer or farther. These are not measured distances, angles, or validated 3D tracking. If the subject outline is uncertain, align it manually and inspect the full-resolution capture.

If your device is slow or incompatible

MedCam uses lighter preview analysis when hardware hints suggest limited performance. Camera failures fall back to using the phone's camera/gallery; this does not need special zoom, depth sensors or permission to read a device model. The original image remains separately preserved.

Medical-image caution

No browser can recover detail missing from a photographed film. Confirm small CT/MRI labels, ECG traces, document text, annotations, and privacy information before sharing. Prefer original DICOM data or hospital reports when available.
