Overview

When I ran raspistill -o test.jpg on Raspberry Pi Bullseye, I got the error in the title.

$ raspistill -o test.jpg

the system should be configured for the legacy camera stack

As clearly stated in the official documentation below, from Bullseye onwards only the libcamera-based stack is included.

https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/camera.html

Raspberry Pi OS images from Bullseye onwards will contain only the libcamera-based stack.

Use libcamera

$ libcamera-still -o test.jpg

Or you can enable support for the legacy camera stack

sudo raspi-config

// Select Interface Options
// Legacy Camera Enable/disable legacy camera support

That’s it.
I hope this helps.
