Abstract: In one example, a controller of a camera is configured to detect a mechanical connection of an accessory for the camera through data received by a sensor. The accessory includes a physical component that performs a function for the camera. The function may replace an existing function of the camera or supplement an existing function of the camera. The controller identifies one or more identification marks on the accessory to determine an existence of the accessory or a position of the accessory. The controller may disable an existing function of the camera or modify a configuration of the camera based on the identification marks.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are herein provided for enabling use of external devices with pre-defined gestures. A method may include receiving operation information from a remote device, wherein the operation information indicates at least one operation that may be invoked by the remote device. The method may further include associating, by a processor, at least one pre-defined gesture with the at least one operation. The method may further include receiving user input. The method may further include determining that the user input corresponds to the at least one pre-defined gesture. The method may further include causing transmission of indication information to the remote device, wherein the indication information provides an indication to the remote device to perform the at least one operation associated with the pre-defined gesture. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.
