I wouldn't recommend learning the original Picamera as a way of finding out about Picamera2. Picamera2 follows the API of the open source libcamera project quite closely, which in turn exposes the features of the Pi's camera system fairly directly. The old Picamera provides access to a deprecated and proprietary Broadcom camera API. We have started work on the official Picamera2 docuemtnation, however, it's going to take a while before it's very useful. In the meantime I'd encourage people to look at the project's README file, study the quite large number of examples, and if those don't help, to raise an issue for which there is a "HOW TO" sub-category. Hope that helps! |
