== Technical overview ==
* Sensor chip: Sony IMX708 with 12 megapixels and auto-focus.
* Connection: CSI connector; on the Raspberry Pi 5 between the audio jack and the HDMI port; on Pi Zero next to the power connector.
* The new hardware version no longer includes an EEPROM chip; old and new versions are shipped randomly.
* Supported sensor list: IMX708 is supported on all Raspberry Pi boards and requires the libcamera driver type.
* For the official Camera Module 3 no config.txt entry is needed; for non-official cameras add dtoverlay=imx708 to /boot/config.txt or /boot/firmware/config.txt.
* Two cameras at once: cam0 and cam1 are specified by appending cam0/cam1 after the respective dtoverlay lines.
* On Bookworm systems the libcamera-* commands were replaced by rpicam-*; libcamera remains available for now but will be deprecated in the future.
* Start preview with: sudo libcamera-hello -t 0 or rpicam-hello.
* Capture a JPEG with: rpicam-jpeg -o test.jpg; resolution adjustable via --width/--height.
* Exposure control: --shutter and --gain set fixed exposure and gain; --ev adjusts exposure compensation in stops.

== Notes and version constraints ==
* The text contains incomplete templates ({{...}}) and truncated sections; some details may be missing or vary depending on firmware/OS version.
* On older devices (Pi 3 and earlier under Bullseye), Glamor may need to be enabled for the preview window to work correctly.
* USB cameras only support software rendering (Qt); hot-plugging is not supported.
* Exact compatibility with specific carrier boards for Compute Modules must be verified case by case.
