I’ve got the Arducam64mp camera connected to my Raspberry Pi4. I’ve also got Raspberry Camera Module 3 on other Raspberry Pis.
I’m using libcamera-still to capture images on each platform. I’m currently setting the focus manually to 0, which is infinity focus.
The Raspberry module embeds the Subject Distance in the exif data.
The Arducam64mp module does not.
Can this information be added in future module updates?
0x9206 SubjectDistance
There are two things I immediately notice different. You get the details that I was interested in, plus your Camera Model name is a less decorated name.

what is your kernel version
uname -a
Could you please upgrade your kernel version to 5.15.84 or 6.1.19.
Then use our install script.
libcamera 0.0.11 probably didn’t add this information.
I ran your script, first installing the dev package, then the app package. Now it’s finding the camera again, but not getting version 0.11 from your servers… It also seems to not support the lens-position option of the newer standard part of libcamera-apps options.

That shouldn’t be the case. Version 6.1.19 should install a new set of libcamera.
We have now upgraded the version number of libcamera.
Like this:
Are you sure you reinstalled libcamera after upgrading the kernel?
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_dev
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_apps
