What help do you need?
I’ve just got the 4 * 64MP autofocus module and set it up. I’ve been testing capturing at different viewfinder resolutions and timing how long it takes without writing the image to the filsystem using:
time libcamera-still -e yuv420 --viewfinder-width 4624 --viewfinder-height 3472
I’ve tested this all the way down to 1280x720 and all captures give a similar time result:
pi@fourcampi:~ $ time libcamera-still -e yuv420 --viewfinder-width 4624 --viewfinder-height 3472

It seems to always take ~5.5 seconds which is a bit too slow. Is there anything I can do to speed this up; I’ve tried with jpeg, yuv420 and raw but all seem to be 5.5 seconds. The device is great but the capture speed is too slow for my application. Can I do anything to speed it up?
Cheers,
Neil
