Added support to RGB8 pixel format and controls for sharpness and saturation #116

RGB8 format is not supported in the current driver, which caused dark images when using the camera outdoors. I added RGB8 pixel format to enable the camera to control the saturation and sharpness of the image as well and hence improved the quality of the images.

Hey @ModiGit, what's the status on sharpness auto vs. manual?

ModiGit commented 6 years ago

@mikepurvis Sorry for the late reply. I talked to Flycapture support and they asked me to update the firmware. I did but it didn't help. They suggested to leave it the way it is. I haven't had any issues with quality of the images so far. So please let me know what you think. Thanks

Cool, I'll merge this then. Thanks for the contribution!
