A computing device includes one or more camera systems, each camera system including software and/or hardware to provide various different camera-related capabilities. The camera system maintains one or more profiles, each profile identifying different capabilities of the camera system that the computing device is configured to use concurrently. The one or more profiles are provided to a program on the computing device, allowing the program to know which capabilities the computing device is configured to use concurrently. If a profile provided by the camera system indicates that the computing device is configured to use certain capabilities concurrently (e.g., capturing images and recording video at certain resolutions), then the program allows a user to select options for using those capabilities concurrently. However, if no such profile exists, the program does not allow a user to select options for using those capabilities concurrently.
