Camera Module v3 Wie NoiR

What is the problem?

Camera setup for 1080p in settings yet it looks like 480p, maybe worse.

What did you already try to solve it?

Changed settings in
sudo nano /boot/camera-streamer/libcamera.conf

from 720p to 1080 and 15fps to 30fps

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No

Try setting the width and height values to the actual resolution supported by your camera. In your case that would be 4608x2592 based on the camerastack-libcamera.log included in the system info bundle. Then leave the video height and snapshot height as-is.

The camerastack-journal.log seems to indicate that autofocus might not be working with this camera.

Could not set AF_TRIGGER - no AF algorithm or not Auto

Changed to that resolution but still same out of focus

I have a PiCamera V3 (non wide), but I had an Arducam 16M AF once where the AF did not work as well. I had to set a manual focus like in the attached Screenshot (made for a printer using my PiCamera V3), and then saving that focus setting as a default setting in the "Camera Settings" Plugin. Then I set the AF to off in the libcamera.conf. That worked for me for that camera. The name of the setting under "Show Preview" is probably different for your camera, try the values in the dropdown list. One of them should work.

Not sure if this was the same user, but someone in Discord was having the same issue and it ended up being a dirty camera lens...

yep same person. thanks man
