Methods for adjusting control parameters on an image capture device

An interactive display device for adjusting a control parameter of an image capture device, the interactive display device comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor coupled to the memory for executing a computer program, the computer program comprising instructions for:
• detecting, at an interactive display device, a substantially continuous user selection of values of a control parameter of the image capture device, wherein the user selection is detected from user manipulation of a continuously-variable input control of the interactive display device,
• determining a rate of change of the user selected values of the control parameter during user manipulation of the continuously-variable input control,
• determining, based upon at least the determined rate of change, whether to transmit each of the selected values, and
• sequentially transmitting, the selected values to the image capture device, via a communications network, where the selected values are determined to be transmitted,
• wherein each of the transmitted values is transmitted as an interim control parameter value, and the transmitted values are adapted to adjust the control parameter of the image capture device.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program to perform a computer-implementable method of adjusting a control parameter of an image capture device, the method comprising:

• detecting, at an interactive display device, a substantially continuous user selection of values of a control parameter of the image capture device, wherein the user selection is detected from user manipulation of a continuously-variable input control of the interactive display device;
• determining a rate of change of the user selected values of the control parameter during user manipulation of the continuously-variable input control;
• determining, based upon at least the determined rate of change, whether to transmit each of the selected values;
• and
• sequentially transmitting, the selected values to the image capture device, via a communications network, where the selected values are determined to be transmitted,
• wherein each of the transmitted values is transmitted as an interim control parameter value, and the transmitted values are adapted to adjust the control parameter of the image capture device.

A system comprising:
