+``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_SIZE (struct)``
+    This control returns the pixel size in nanometres. The struct provides
+    the width and the height in separated fields to take into consideration
+    asymmetric pixels and/or hardware binning.
+    This control is required for automatic calibration of the sensor.

    This control may be changed to a menu control in the future, if more
    options are required.
