Hi Tosiara, The motion log file is attached as requested. The only way i
can get motion to work is to use 640x480 as the width/height. [1] is a
picture, taken with libcamera-still, that shows the complete FOV [2] is
a picture from motion, which only has a small FOV. Do you have a
raspberry pi (3B+) with a V2 camera module? (2B should be good too) If
you do, you could download the official raspberry pi OS from [3] and use
a fresh SD card to try the new libcamera setup with motion. [1]
