Camera auto-detection may not detect the camera. You may need to manual load the overlay for your camera.

Focusing will only work with camera modules with auto-focuser capability like the camera module 3
--autofocus-mode manual --lens-position 7.1
Moves the lens to a fixed focal distance, normally given in dioptres (units of 1 / distance in metres).
0.0 will move the lens to the "infinity" position
Any other number: move the lens to the 1 / number position, so the value 2 would focus at approximately 0.5m
default - move the lens to a default position which corresponds to the hyperfocal position of the lens.
Bin2 mode (half resolution). This is useful with SoCs with lower memory resources like Raspberry Pi 3.
