Last month, The Raspberry Pi released a new version of amazing tiny computer—Pi 5. Due to the delivery and other reason, we just received a Raspberry Pi 5 last week. Since the pi5 platform has some differences compared to older Raspberry Pi versions, we need to take the time to make it compatible.
If you face the error log blow, please follow up on this thread and we will update the latest news for compatible camera modules.

Currently, The OV5647/IMX219/IMX477 camera modules from Arducam are compatible with Raspberry Pi 5. But you need to upgrade your OS via the command below first.
For OV5647:

sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y upgrade 
sudo apt install -y linux-image-rpi-v8

For IMX477/IMX219:

sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y upgrade

Hi Dion.
I run a fresh install of Bookworm in RPi 3B+ with an Arducam 16MP camera.
I started following these instructions Quick Start - Arducam Wiki and got a similar error as yours:

Hi,
That’s true.
We currently do not have support for the IMX519 camera driver on Bookworm OS. However, if you manually enable the camera by adding dtoverlay=imx519 under [all] in the config file, you will be able to see a preview window. Please note that autofocus functionality is not available at this time. We are actively working on making the IMX519 PDAF compatibility available on Bookworm, and we expect to release it by the end of this week or next week. Please stay tuned to this thread for further updates on the progress.
