Control for which scene mode is currently active.

Scene modes are custom camera modes optimized for a certain set of conditions and capture settings.

This is the mode that that is active when CaptureRequest.ControlMode == USE_SCENE_MODE. Aside from FACE_PRIORITY, these modes will disable CaptureRequest.ControlAeMode, CaptureRequest.ControlAwbMode, and CaptureRequest.ControlAfMode while in use.

The interpretation and implementation of these scene modes is left to the implementor of the camera device. Their behavior will not be consistent across all devices, and any given device may only implement a subset of these modes.

Possible values:

• CameraMetadata.CONTROL_SCENE_MODE_DISABLED
• CameraMetadata.CONTROL_SCENE_MODE_FACE_PRIORITY
• CameraMetadata.CONTROL_SCENE_MODE_ACTION
• CameraMetadata.CONTROL_SCENE_MODE_PORTRAIT
