Raspberry Pi camera module v2 producing white/black striped images

Post by cohaagen »

Hi- I'm getting some corrupted images from my Raspberry Pi camera module v2 NoIR. It's brand new, never worked. When I run libcamera-hello or libcamera-still, the output looks like alternating white and black vertical stripes.

Here are steps I've tried:
  • Plugged it into my raspberry pi zero w per the instructions on Raspberry Pi org's website and using the raspberry pi zero camera cable that came with the zero case.
  • Tried reseating the cable on both ends
  • Updated software and rebooted
  • Tried a tuning file:

    Code: Select all

    libcamera-hello -t 0 --tuning-file /usr/share/libcamera/ipa/raspberrypi/imx219_noir.json
  • In /boot/config.txt, changed

    Code: Select all

    camera_auto_detect=1
    to

    Code: Select all

    camera_auto_detect=0
    dtoverlay=imx219
    
  • Tried the camera module with a Raspberry Pi 3B and the regular camera module cable
Always get the same results with all of those steps. Any suggestions?

Here's a sample of what the camera is producing:

When did you purchase the camera?

Have you tried it with a Buster install (not Bullseye)?

Are you using a monitor/keyboard setup on any of the Pi's?

I purchased it on May 16.

I tried Buster. I had to run rpi-update and ran

Code: Select all

libcamera-hello -t 0 --qt-preview
which gave the same result.

I'm running monitor/keyboard on both Pis.

Thank you for trying Buster.

We can start the replacement process for this camera. Please e-mail [email protected] to request a replacement. You will need to provide this forum thread link and your order#.

Just curious. Were you using a case / enclosure with this?

Thanks for your help. I'll email support.

I tried with a case originally (the RPi Zero W case with the camera module front), then took it out of the case as I started reseating the cables. I didn't use a case when I tried it with the RPi 3.

I ask about the case since we have a thread from last summer about how it is possible to damage a Pi Camera v2 by putting it in a tight enclosure. The result was stripes.

Ohhh interesting. I was using the case I bought on Adafruit. It seemed to fit well, I didn't have to force it at all. When I get the replacement I'll verify the camera module works without a case before inserting it in the case. Thanks!
