If you are expecting the quality of sensors and exposure control that

even an old entry-level DSLR camera provides, this board will probably

Most of my image captures then are with something like:

raspistill --raw -t 1 -w 640 -h 480 -ss 1000 -ISO 100 -o filename.jpg

That `-t 1` is to remove the standard 5-second timeout; I'm not sure
|

if I can take it lower. `-w 640 -h 480 -q 75` applies to the JPEG

image, while the raw data with `--raw` is always full-resolution; I'm

saving only a much-reduced JPEG as a thumbnail of the raw data, rather
|

than wasting the disk space and I/O on larger JPEG data than I'll use.

`-ss 1000` is for a 1000 microsecond exposure (thus 1 millisecond),
|

and `-ISO 100` is for ISO 100 speed (the lowest this sensor will do).
