Step Adjustments python3 FocuserExample.py -d /dev/v4l-subdev1 --focus-step 10 While you are trying manual focus control, you can use --focus-step [number] to configure how many steps the motor in the lens should move when the Up/Down key is pressed. By default, it's set to 50, and you can change it to any value between 1 ~ 1023. 5. Digital Zoom Use -k to enable digital zoom. libcamera-still -t 0 --viewfinder-width 2312 --viewfinder-height 1736 -k When the preview window pops up, navigate back to the terminal and press the following keys on your keyboard: W: Zoom in S: Zoom out I: Move upward K: Move downward J: Move left L: Move right R: Reset M: 10x Zoom Continuous Autofocus Note: This is a beta version, and we are still making improvements. You can enable Continuous Autofocus simply by adding --continue-autofocus Example: libcamera-still -t 0 --viewfinder-width 2312 --viewfinder-height 1736 --continue-autofocus 6 64MP Autofocus Camera for Raspberry Pi Instructions for Safe Use To properly use the 64MP Autofocus Camera, kindly note: Before connecting, you should always power the Raspberry Pi off and remove the power supply first. Make sure the cable on the camera board is locked in place. Make sure the cable is correctly inserted in the Raspberry Pi board's MIPI CSI-2 connector. Avoid high temperatures. Avoid water, moisture, or conductive surfaces while in operation. Avoid folding, or straining the flex cable. Avoid cross-threading with tripods. Gently push/pull the connector to avoid damaging the printed circuit board. Avoid moving or handling the printed circuit board excessively while it's in operation. Handle by the edges to avoid damages from electrostatic discharge. Where the camera board is stored should be cool and as dry as possible. Sudden temperature/humidity changes can cause dampness in the lens and affect the image/video quality. 7 64MP Autofocus Camera for Raspberry Pi MIPI DSI and MIPI CSI are service marks of MIPI Alliance, Inc Raspberry Pi and the Raspberry Pi logo are trademarks of the Raspberry Pi Foundation Arducam High-Resolution Autofocus Camera And Arducam logo are trademarks of ARDUCAM TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED Visit us at www.arducam.com
