Hello,
I am new to this forum, but I hope to get help here as this is my last resort.
I purchased two cameras Arducam 8MP PTZ IMX219DS and RPI 12MP IMX477R:
I could not make the arducam work and contacted technical support.
They said that using kernel 5.10.92 and should install new 5.15.84. I did this burn the new version on sd card, but the uname -r command still gives 6.1.19-v8+ version. That is completely different number from kernel version. I am confused with OS and kernel numbers. When i tried to run cat /etc/os-release or sudo raspi-config it still does not give the meaningful answer.
Note that second camera RPI 12MP IMX477R is working fine, but i need arducam with adjustable focus for my project.
I am running raspberry pi 4 model B 8 GB using keyboard and mouse.
I am happy to attach the bug report file.
This is the error for command libcam-hello:

Hello @Edward
Thank you for you reply.
I tried the command that you suggested libcamera-still -t 0 before but it didn’t not work.
Please see the error below that appears after several seconds:
There are several things that i would like to note:
I guess you mean to connect the ptz camera without any additional wires? I disconnected all the wires and tried again but it does not help. Note that location of the socket for the ribbon connection on your photo is different to what i have and what is shown on the arducam website: 8MP Pan Tilt Zoom PTZ Camera for Raspberry Pi 4/3B+/3 and NVIDIA Jetson Nano/NX and NVIDIA Orin NX/AGX Orin - Arducam. Could it be different versions? My camera came preassembled on the board. Sorry that i cannot post more than one photo as new user. Please see my 4th post for socket mount on my camera.
When i did fresh install of the latest OS 5.15 the camera IMX477R worked straight away but when the ptz imx219 was connected the ribbon connection test failed. Please see my 3rd post for the result i got. I used this command i2cdetect -y -r 10 to check so i had to change the config.txt file that system can recognise it at least.
Ptz imx219 camera is recognised correctly after i made the changes in the config file. Please see proof for the command libcamera-hello --list-cameras in my 5th post.
So my feeling is that it’s all to do with the correct settings of the config file. Would it be possible to share the correct setting of the config file for the ptz imx219 camera.
