== Summary ==
The RPi Camera (M) is a Raspberry Pi camera module featuring an OV5647 sensor (5 MP), a fisheye lens, and adjustable focus. It connects via the CSI port and can be controlled using rpicam- or libcamera commands.

== Technical overview ==
* Sensor: OV5647, 5 megapixels, fisheye lens, adjustable focus.
* Connection: CSI port; Raspberry Pi 5 has two CSI ports, on Pi Zero it is next to the power connector.
* Supported boards: all Raspberry Pi boards; driver types: libcamera/Raspicam.
* System update: run 'sudo apt-get update -y' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade -y' for current cameras such as Camera Module 3.
* Configuration: set 'camera_auto_detect=0' in /boot/config.txt or /boot/firmware/config.txt and add the appropriate dtoverlay line.
* Start preview: 'rpicam-hello' displays the camera preview for about five seconds.
* Capture JPEG: 'rpicam-jpeg -o test.jpg' saves a full-resolution JPEG file.
* Exposure control: fixed shutter speed and gain, e.g., 20 ms and 1.5x are possible.
* Tuning files: for specific sensors (e.g., IMX219 NoIR) a customized file can be specified with '--tuning-file'.
* USB cameras: supports MJPEG and YUYV; preview is software-rendered via Qt, no hardware acceleration.

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

== Notes and version constraints ==
* Connection accuracy depends on the exact board model; CSI port location varies by device.
* Use of libcamera commands will eventually be replaced by rpicam; on Bookworm, prefer rpicam.
* For older systems (Bullseye), additional steps to enable Glamor may be required.
* For binocular systems, a JSON file for IMX290 may need to be installed manually.
* USB cameras do not support hot-plugging; Picamera2 must be restarted when devices are added or removed.
* Focus length is about 10 cm; exact values are version-specific and should be verified before use.
