I guess this happens because of system updates.
I repeated the procedure but nothing has changed.
What can I fix that?
Thank you

Hi Daniel,
We’ve already updated the installation script yesterday. If you run the commands below to install the Arducam custom libcamera, the IMX519 autofocus should work again.
That worked good, thank you.
Making some tests, rpicam-vid --autofocus-mode continuous --timeout 0 --width 1000 --height 750 -o -| nc 192.168.1.33 5000
works good in all distance ranges
rpicam-vid --autofocus-mode manual --lens-position X --autofocus-range normal --timeout 0 --width 1000 --height 750 -o -| nc 192.168.1.33 5000
It works well if X>1 (or something), close distances. But if X<1, larger distances, focus is bad in the entire image, there’s no focus in any part of the image, close or far.
Same happens with rpicam-still
Another issue: Still images are good in autofocus auto mode from rpicam-still but they are out of focus from python script using libcamera2.
Hi! I have also installed the custom libcamera in my Pi Zero 2W and works fine with libcamera-hello and libcamera-vid
However, when I want to use it in mediamtx, it is always shown out of focus. When I run the program it tells:

I am running the Pi headless and the OS is 32bit Bullseye lite v 6.1.21-v7+
To install Arducam software, I followed instructions at:
I followed instructions for the corresponding OS and then I re installed all over again following your instructions above. However, the camera is still out of focus.
Sometimes when I launch mediamtx, the camera is on focus… However, it won’t adjust the focus once mediamtx is started.
This does not happen when I record video with libcamera, but I would like to use mediamtx to stream video because it has little lag compared to VLC
When I installed arducam files from the link stated in my prior post, I also installed the following camera driver to enable the latest Hybrid Mode(PDAF + CDAF):
I have just encountered the same issue. Is there a fix for the autofocus error using the 16MP alongside mediamtx?
