Hi, I am getting an error on the camera module that was
shipped to me last week. "mmal: Received unexpected camera control
callback event, 0x4f525245" when I try to execute raspistill -o cam.jpg. I
do not get a light on the camera either and no image appears even when I do
raspistill -d. In reading many forums on the net about this error it appears to be a
hardware issue. I have connected and reconnected the flat ribbon cable to the B+ connector several times. It is securely connected and pushed down all the way. I have also ensured the sunny connector on the camera itself is secure. Does anyone have any things to try?

Re: Camera Error - camera control callback event, 0x4f525245
HI Friends,
Well, I received my replacement camera and tried it with the R/Pi. Unfortunately I am still getting the error with the new camera module as well. So far I have tried:
1. Unplugging the wifi adapter and rebooting
2. Downloaded a fresh OS from raspberrypi.org
3. sudo apt-get update / sudo apt-get dist-upgrade / sudo rpi-update / sudo reboot Note: the camera light at least comes on after doing these steps but I still get the error
3a. Walked through the various recommendations on http://93.93.128.176/forums/viewtopic.p ... 0&p=484595
4. Tried a different power supply
5. Tried a different USB cable
At this point I am thinking it is an issue with the R/Pi hardware itself. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Camera Error - camera control callback event, 0x4f525245
Here's some suggestions?
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 4&p=511259
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 1&p=524162
can you let us know if that does/doesn't help? it seems like an issue with a couple other people but its usually a loose cable?

Re: Camera Error - camera control callback event, 0x4f525245
Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, I had actually gone through the second suggestion several times - pushing on the SUNNY connection to make sure it was snapped in place. In fact, both cameras are not working, and the last one I trying I received just last week. It was giving the same error out of the box. There's not much to be done with the connector on the R/Pi side though, other then ensuring it is solidly connected, which it is. I've also tried a different usb cable and power supply. Thanks for your suggestions though!

We can try replacing the Pi if you purchased it from Adafruit, please email support@adafruit with your order # and ask for a return label with ATTN:PHIL on it
then we can try it out here!

Hi Phil, I see my RPi was delivered on Aug 14 back to you, just wondering if you have had a chance to take a closer look at it to see what it throwing the camera error? Any news? Thank you

Hi, thank you for the reply. No worries. I have not received a replacement Pi yet, I was thinking it was to be checked to see if a replacement was needed.
