JMF - Webcam settings - Resolution, Gain, Brightness, Contrast

Hi,

I am fairly new to Java, and am working on a project in which I need
to grab a still-frame from a webcam for further processing.

The code below works just fine for getting the shot taken and saved.
However, I want to change from camera setting "0" to camera setting
"1":

0 RGB, 320x240, Length=230400, 24-bit, Masks=3:2:1, PixelStride=3,
LineStride=960, Flipped
1 RGB, 160x120, Length=57600, 24-bit, Masks=3:2:1, PixelStride=3,
LineStride=480, Flipped

Question 1 - How does one change the camera setting to the 160 x 120
setting

Question 2 - Is there a way to change or control the camera settings
like Gain, Brightness and Contrast inside of my program

It is somewhat strange, but I need everything cranked up to the
maximum since I am taking a still shot in total darkness. The key
data for me to get is any very slight variation in the brightness and
contrast between pixels.

I`m hoping there is an easy way to do this. I have searched high and
low and haven`t come up with anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David
