0.3.7 Beta Release 6

Added

  • Ability to control via the configuration "queue" parameter whether Picamera2 keeps hold of the last completed request or not. This means you may wait marginally longer for a capture in some use cases, but also that the system cannot give you the frame that arrived slightly before you requested it.

Changed

  • The Picamera2.start_encoder function prototype has been made very similar to Picamera2.start_recording for consistency. Most existing calls still work, but there are a few call patterns that may need updating. The new prototype is: start_encoder(self, encoder=None, output=None, pts=None, quality=Quality.MEDIUM)
  • The Picamera2.wait function now requires an argument, which is the "job" that was returned to you when you made the asynchronous call, for example instead of
picam2.capture_file("test.jpg", wait=False)
metadata = picam2.wait()

you would use

job = picam2.capture_file("test.jpg", wait=False)
metadata = picam2.wait(job)

Please also refer to our updated Qt examples.

  • Some bug fixes when starting and stopping encoders.
  • Risk of video frame drops during transient busy periods reduced.
