I want to use Raspberry PI's system command `raspistill`to take images in a c program, the program line is: `system("raspistill -q 5 -vf -hf -o pic1.jpg -t 1 -th 0:0:0");`

However, when I run the program sometimes error occurs, 
it shows that:

> 
> mmal\_vc\_component\_enable- failed to enable component- ENOSPC
>  mmal- camera component couldn't be enabled
>  mmal- main- Failed to create camera component
>  mmal- Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updatesckquote
>

> 

And I have tried to add some parameters into /boot/config.txt:

> 
> gpu\_mem=128 start\_file=start\_x.elf fixup\_file=fixup\_x.dat  
> 
>  disable\_camera\_led=1 cam\_lwm=16 cam\_hwm=32 cam\_offline\_start=16
> 
> 
> 

However the error still always occurs sometimes (sometimes ok). I really want to solve this problem in order to continue my project. What should I do?

In my case I ran the following on a Pi 4 model B

```
vcgencmd get_camera
supported=1 detected=1

raspistill -w 3280 -h 2464 -n -t 2000 -o test.png
mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC
mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled
mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates

make: *** [makefile:27: raspistill] Error 70

```

It turned out to be the camera. The standard camera works!
This error will appear when the RPi Camera is "On" and is streaming. The component: ENOSPC cannot start unless the RPi Camera is not streaming or being used by another process.
One solution is to try to stop the Camera stream before the Snapshot and then restart it after.
