Operating The Camera libcamera-still is an advanced command-line tool for
capturing still images with the IMX219 Camera Module.

seconds, the camera will capture a single still image. The image will be
stored in your home folder and named test.jpg.
-t 5000: Live preview for 5 seconds.
-o test.jpg: take a picture after the preview is over and save it as
test.jpg If you only want to see the live preview, use the following command:
libcamera-still -t 0
