libcamera-still is an advanced command line tool for capturing still images
with the IMX219 Camera Module.
libcamera-still -t 5000 -o testjpg
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 testjpg: 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
Please Note:
This camera module supports the latest Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye (released on
Jan 28th, 2022) and libcamera apps, not for the previous Raspberry Pi OS
{Legacy) users.
