Hi,
This is just to let folks know that there's been a camera software update for Bookworm. As always, we recommend installing withto make sure you get all the affected packages (including, but not limited to, libcamera, libpisp, python3-v4l2, python3-av, picamera2).
The most obvious changes are:
* Pi 5 users can now request 48-bit RGB outputs (where each R, G and B sample is 16-bit).
* Support for h.264 codec profiles in Picamera2.
* DNG files can be written to ioBytes objects (Picamera2).
* Persistent allocators in Picamera2. This means you can allocate all your image buffers up front so as to avoid risks of heap fragmentation when switching camera modes. Also makes mode switches slightly quicker.
* Timeout support waiting for asynchronous requests to complete (Picamera2). You can also poll if something has finished.
