Raspberry Pi Camera Board only produces white jpeg images

Post by Daigo »

Hello,

I received the Raspberry Pi Camera Board https://www.adafruit.com/products/1367 that I bought from Adafruit, and I am having trouble taking picture with it.

I hooked up the camera with Raspi and used raspistill command to take a picture as in this example:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio ... pistill.md

The camera lit the LED for a sec and produced a jpeg image. But when I opened the image, it was all white. As an experiment, I covered the lens completely, and ran the command, but the image was still white. So, I don't think it's the exposure issue.

What would you recommend to do to check if the camera is broken? Or shall I return the camera to Adafruit?

Thanks,
Daigo

Double-check the flex connector to make sure it's seated properly in the connector.. it's really easy to move things slightly out of line, and almost impossible to see the difference. Also check the small connector between the camera and the PCB.
