If your camera is supported then you just plug it in and turn it on, set your device control to Non-Controllable Device and then capture manually at will from the Log and Capture tool ... but you are talking about API's (application programming interface) which suggests you are wanting to build a custom Import/Export component ... if that's the case then you willfind that Apple do not share these API's lightly. There is no publicly available SDK. Contact Apple's developer support for details.

You do realise this is the Final Cut Pro forum and we are talking about Video Production, correct?
