Run under full raspbian for window previews.
[raspiconfig to enable camera]
raspistill is the program to take pics.
raspistill -f
will do a full screen preview for 5s, then end.
If you don't get a preview image, chances are your cable isn't connected right...it's finicky.
raspistill -k
enables keypress mode...keeps preview going until x pressed.
A good way to do this: raspistill -k -o image%04d.jpg
Annoying bit: the previews don't work on VNC....which was my whole point in going VNC. Reason why is that the preview doesn't actually write to the proper display output...they get superimposed over the desktop. Lame. The suggestion is for you to enable streaming...now I have to figure out out to do that...
