Pi Camera Module

Sat Jun 10, 2017 3:59 pm

Is there a way to adjust the exposure time of the camera through the python module? I would also like to change the brightness, white balance, and focus of the camera if that is possible. If this isn't possible through the python modules are there any other ways I can do it via the terminal etc. I am running Raspbian on my Raspberry Pi 3 with the Pi cam 2.

Welcome to the forums.

For the things you can influence the documentation is here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... /README.md

My understanding is that the 'official' RPi camera modules have fixed focus that is factory preset. It is not software controlled. Some have succeeded in breaking the seal and adjusting focus manually.
