UsageDescription
camera [status]Initialize the camera on first use and show the detected sensor, JPEG configuration, orientation, current owner and frame lease, capture count, and last error.
camera capture <path> [qvga|vga]Capture one JPEG into a caller-selected SolarOS path. The default is QVGA; changing size reinitializes the idle camera. Existing files are replaced.
camera orientation [normal|mirror|flip|180]Show or set sensor orientation: normal, horizontal mirror, vertical flip, or 180° rotation (both). Changes apply to future frames, including active RTSP/web streams, and survive camera stop/start and size changes until reboot or camera detach. No setting is saved. The JPEG path does not support 90°/270° rotation.
camera offDeinitialize an idle camera and release its framebuffer and driver resources.
