I need to capture a single image occasionally. I would like to know what is the best practice in this scenario. Should I keep the camera open for the entire duration of the script and only close it when the program finishes, or is it better to open the camera, capture one image, and then close it each time I need a photo?
I am asking because I sometimes get an error when attempting to access the camera, but if I try again after a short while, it usually works on the second attempt. I am wondering whether this behavior could be related to how I am opening and closing the camera, or if there are specific settings or recommendations to avoid these intermittent issues.
