Raspberry picam is showing blank white images on raspbian buster.The raspberry picam was working with jessie.I tried raspistill -o test.jpg and got a blank white square in test.jpg.

color of the square changes based on programs I use to take the picture for example in picamera(python) it takes black squares, in raspistill it takes white squares.

  • Did you remember to re-enable the camera in raspi-config (or the GUI equivalent) when you made the Buster install?

  • @Andyroo yes, enabled, rebooted and disabled to check if enabling really happened. When enabled it gives the white square as image, when disabled it gives error message saying unable to detect camera.

This post: Common errors using the Raspberry Pi camera module suggests at least two possible solutions:

  • sudo rpi-update to update Raspberry firmware
  • downgrade the picamera package

  • did rpi-update. Both picamera and rpstill are(were) malfunctioning identically so i don't know why updating or downgrading picamera(which is just a python interface) will be help.
