Everyone has one arm trailing out of frame now

There is a gstreamer command string you can put together to take a snapshot, but you probably need to enable the dev repository to install gstreamer? I don't recall what I've installed on mine and what is stock.

ah... so as root

apt-get install gstreamer-tools

and then...

gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=1 ! dspjpegenc ! filesink location=test.jpg

Grabs a 640x480 shot from the back camera. Or /dev/video1 for the front cam

(if it complains about dspjpegenc, try omx_jpegenc)
