Setting up the camera

Now that we have the camera connected and powered by the Raspberry Pi 3, we will set up the camera, as shown in the following steps:

1. From inside the Raspberry Pi, launch a new terminal and run:

    sudo raspi-config

2. This will launch the Raspberry Pi configuration screen. Select Interfacing options:

3. On the next screen, select P1 Camera and enable it:

4. This will trigger a reboot, complete the reboot and log back into the Pi.

Once your camera is set up, we will test it.
