Starting Camera Control

Although multiple clients can simultaneously connect to the camera server, multiple clients
cannot simultaneously control the camera. Consequently, "control privileges" has been
introduced by which only the client who currently holds the control privileges can control the
camera. The use of backlight adjustment and presets is also limited to the client who
currently holds the control privileges.
