Example:
[pi4]
arm_boost=1
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512
if you are under pi0-3 and other pi models:

Focus Control/Adjustment
# Press the Up/Down Arrow for focus adjustment, press “ctrl + c” to save, or “r” to reset
cd Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/focus
python3 FocuserExample.py -d /dev/v4l-subdev1
Step Adjustments
While you are trying manual focus control, you can use --focus-step [number] to configure how many
steps the motor in the lens should move when the Up/Down key is pressed.
By default, it’s set to 50, and you can change it to any value between 1 ~ 1023
python3 FocuserExample.py -d /dev/v4l-subdev1 --focus-step 10
