Hello everyone!

I have been attempting to use OpenCV to take pictures on the Raspberry Pi (Raspbian), but it does not seem to work for me. Whenever I run any camera-related programs, the window opens correctly, but only a grey image is displayed.

I have tested the webcam on my computer and it works fine. Additionally, the camera works with other, different webcam programs (Specifically, GuvCview). Here is the code I am currently using:

import cv2.cv as cv
import time

cv.NamedWindow("w1", cv.CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE)
capture = cv.CaptureFromCAM(0)

while True:

    frame = cv.QueryFrame(capture)
    cv.ShowImage("w1", frame)
if cv.WaitKey(10) == 27:  #Break on ESC
     break    

cv.DestroyAllWindows()

Thank you for your help!
