Librem 5 Automatic camera controls

If you are willing to install / use bleeding edge software you can have automatic controls on the Librem 5. If you want to give it a shot I just followed the build instructions here: Link

I’m sure soon, it will be in the current millipixels ap and there will be no need to build manually. I would check before doing a manual build / install.

I should also note I was also able to take videos although it was rotated 90 degrees. I used ffmpeg to fix.
