// Initialize system
await invoke('plugin:crabcamera|initialize_camera_system');

// Optimize for plants
await invoke('plugin:crabcamera|optimize_for_plants', { deviceId: '0' });

// Capture HDR sequence
const frames = await invoke('plugin:crabcamera|capture_hdr_sequence', { deviceId: '0' });

// Apply manual controls
await invoke('plugin:crabcamera|set_camera_controls', {
    deviceId: '0',
    controls: {
        auto_focus: false,
        focus_distance: 0.5,
        auto_exposure: false,
        exposure_time: 0.008, // 1/125s
