I'm using an old Pi Camera 1.3 that doesn't have AF or anything fancy, uses the ov5647 sensor and works well when I manually use libcamera-still.

If i comment line 35 and 36, it works.

I was having some issues with Lines 35 and 36 myself. I'm debating whether to remove them all together, or add code to determine if the camera has AF capability before applying controls. More to come.

You are in luck! I spent most of today tinkering around my Pi and the camera and did some changes you might like.

Kindly review it here: #6 😄
