[Interest] QCamera extended exposure parameter

[cincirin]

Hi Boris,
thank you for your thoughts, I have to use latest CanonSDK and NikonSDK 
because our customers use latest cameras hardware from the two companies 
and also we need to have raw support (raw*, cr2* and nef*)
Sadly, me too I haven't found any option to receive the supported 
exposure compensation and other parameters values in the Qt front-end 
classes, in order to implement them in the plug-in interface
I only see supported apertures, iso and shutter speed ...
Also we don't use QML :-), so the QML part is not so important right now.

Regards,
   Marius
