Summary
This documentation is about the usage of the Raspberry Pi Modul Camera V2. It describes basic usage via the Shell and advanced usage with Python programming.
Requirements
- Hardware: Raspberry Pi
- Operating system: Rasbian
- Interpreter: Python or Python3
Installation
Firstly you have to Plug in The Camera Modul with the Ribbon Cable. Then you have to allow the usage of the Camera interface:
sudo raspi-config
-> Interfacing Options -> Camera -> Enable it
Shell usage
Rasbian already supplies pre-installed shell scripts for the cameramodul usage. The is one for Capturing Image raspistill and one for capturing video raspivid .
Capturing images
The simplest way to take is py entering the following command:
raspistill -o ./image0.jpg
You can easily adjust the pixel height and with by using the -w and -h parameters like this:
raspistill -o ./image1.jpg -w 640 -h 480
For advanced use its suggested to read the output of the following command:
raspistill --help
Capturing video
To capture a video you need to use the raspivid command like this
raspivid -o ./video.h264
h264 is a videocodec that is compatible with almost every device that can play video. The pi camera can also output mp4 files. For further information use
raspivid --help
Python Usage
As well as for all Raspberry accessories, the camera module also comes with a really good python library for both taking still and capturing videos. On the following paragraph I will only cover taking images for the full documentation read /picamera.readthedocs.io documentation.
