How to use picamera2 to capture high-resolution image with fixed exposure time
This script will capture a single camera frame from a Raspberry Pi HQ camera with its maximum resolution of 4056x3040px
and a fixed exposure time of 10.0ms
(which appears to be the minimum exposure time the IMX477
sensor is capable of) and a fixed analog gain of 1.0
. The resulting image is saved to Exposure10ms.png
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import time
import picamera2
import numpy as np
with picamera2.Picamera2() as camera:
camera_config = camera.create_still_configuration({"size":(4056, 3040)})
camera.configure(camera_config)
camera.set_controls({"ExposureTime": 10000, "AnalogueGain": 1.0})
camera.start()
camera.capture_file("Exposure10ms.png")
camera.stop()
It appears to be important to use camera.set_control()
after camera.configure()
.
