Yes, the code is now available. Note, you also need to enable burst mode in order to bypass preview (otherwise, you will get 1 preview frame as well as a capture frame).

Re: Wonder: relationship between pixel resolution and fps.

I cannot explain why width does not play a role. But for v1 and v2 cameras I determined formulas using raspiraw (HQ tbd): fps_v1(height) ≈ 42755/height+13 fps_v2(height) ≈ 76034/height+67 fps_v2/fps_v1 → 1.78 (>2 for height >= 208) https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=212518&p=131...

What I mean by not working with 20ms, is if you do the clock test you'll find the actual capture 1 was only 1s long, even though it took 195s and also wrote that to exif.
You are right, I just verified that.

--shutter has to be over 6s for this to properly work, that however does make initialization and especially disposal slow.
What do you mean with "properly work"?
I used 20ms and did only get 1min additional time.
