I want to added camera controls to our embeded UI to allow the user to toggle between camera modes - Manual Mode/Speaker Focus/Presenter Focus/Auto-Framing/Multi-Focus/Multi-Stream/Intelligent Director/Speaker Switching

Is this possible? It appears only PTZ Control is possible by the zCommands

Any update on this? Also very interested in being able to change camera modes via API.
