- Push the plastic connector down while holding the flex cable until the connector is back in place.

Operating The Camera libcamera-still is an advanced command-line tool for
capturing still images with the IMX219 Camera Module.
libcamera-still -t 5000 -o test.jpg
This command will give you a live preview of the camera module, and after 5
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
