Although it is - possible to install the camera while the Pi is on, this isn't good practice - (if the camera is active when removed, it's possible to damage it). - -Connect your camera module to the CSI port on your Raspberry Pi; this is the -long thin port adjacent to the HDMI socket. Gently lift the collar on top of -the CSI port (if it comes off, don't worry, you can push it back in but try to -be more gentle in future!). Slide the ribbon cable of the camera module into -the port with the blue side facing the Ethernet port (or where the Ethernet -port would be if you've got a model A/A+). - -Once the cable is seated in the port, press the collar back down to lock the -cable in place. If done properly you should be able to easily lift the Pi by -the camera's cable without it falling out. The following illustrations show -a well-seated camera cable with the correct orientation: - -.. image:: good_connection.jpg - :width: 640px - :align: center - -Make sure the camera module isn't sat on anything conductive (e.g. the Pi's -USB ports or its GPIO pins). Now, apply power to your Pi. Once booted, start -the Raspberry Pi Configuration utility and enable the camera module: - -.. image:: enable_camera.png - :align: center - -You will need to reboot after doing this (but this is one-time setup so you -won't need to do it again unless you re-install your operating system or switch -SD cards). Once rebooted, start a terminal and try the following command:: - - raspistill -o image.jpg - -If everything is working correctly, the camera should start, a preview from the -camera should appear on the display and, after a 5 second delay it should -capture an image (storing it as ``image.jpg``) before shutting down the camera. -Proceed to the :ref:`recipes1`. - -If something else happens, read any error message displayed and try any -recommendations suggested by such messages. If your Pi reboots as soon as you -run this command, your power supply is insufficient for running your Pi plus -the camera module (and whatever other peripherals you have attached). -
