My camera didn't work.

I see a lot of reviews here that say how great the camera works so I'm pretty sure I have a faulty one but every time I try "raspistill -v - o test.jpg" I get the following: Camera Application "raspistill" (commit 06bc6daa0213 Tainted) Camera Name ov5647 Width 2592 Height 1944 Filename test.jpg Camera Usage 0 Sensor Mode 0 GPS Output Disabled Quality 85 Raw noThumbnail Enabled Yes Width 64 Height 48, Quality 35 Time Lag 5000, Time Lapse 0 Link to Last Image Enabled No Full Resolution Preview No Capture Method: Single Preview Yes, Full Screen Yes Preview Window 0,0,1024,768 Opacity 255 Sharpness 0, Contrast 0, Brightness 50 Saturation 0, ISO 0, video stabilization none, exposure compensation 0 automatic exposure mode, AWB automatic mode, picture effect none, flicker protection mode off, metering mode medium, color effect on no with U=128, V=128 Rotation 0, hflip No, vflip NoROI x 0.000000, y 0.000000, w 1.000000 h 1.000000Ca component Mera done Encoder component done First connection step of component connect camera preview port to video rendering.

Check all connections including the Sunny connector on the camera board. I checked all the wiring, including the Sunny contact, and everything is connected correctly. I even get a red light on my camera when I give a command, but then the terminal freezes for a while. I ordered another camera so I hope the next one will fit. I will update my review if necessary.

Pros
  • computers and accessories
Cons
  • boring packaging
