Please note that this list was based on the information I had at the time. 
Other webcam models can support still image capture.

Run the following command

lsusb -v -d 041e:4058 | grep bStillCaptureMethod

This should output the still image capture method supported by the device.

0: No still image capture supported
1: The host software will extract the next frame from the active video stream
2: Higher-quality still images through the video pipe
3: Higher-quality still images through a dedicated pipe

Even if a device reports no still image capture capability (0), the host 
software can always use method 1.

Method 2 and 3 are currently not supported by the uvcvideo driver.

Best regards,

Laurent Pinchart
