Troubleshooting • Raspi 2W Camera Issues

Ok I did post under another user's thread but my issue is more complicated and I don't want to keep hijacking the other thread.
I went ahead after post in another thread and installed a fresh copy of Raspberry Pi 32 bit OS Bookwarm on a 64GB Micro SD card. Because I donated I have a copy of the Version 2 How to PDF on using camera's with Raspberry Pi's.

not to hijack the Op's thread but..... Rather then create my own about the same thing seems pointless. I want to install Motioneye or anything that works on a Pi zero w 2 that will give me the ability to use it as a security camera. The first thing I need to figure out is how to make it actually work with a Raspberry v1.3 or v2 Camera I also have 2 Raspberry v2 NoIR eventually coming. I got the v2 to work on a Pi4 but messed up the 64bit OS Bookwarm somehow and had to re-install and now it wont work. I read you dont have to modify the /boot/firmware ..config.txt ..dtoverlay ??? Whatever advice given to the Op could you please include the correct OS and procedure to make a Raspberry Pi v2 Camera work on a Raspberry Pi Zero W 2 device. Or tell me to piss off and make my own damn thread is fine as well.
Thank you

So this is what I posted in the other thread which I will delete after posting this here. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 2 W and currently have a Raspberry Pi V2 Camera connected. after all updates making sure camera is connected correctly I try the first basic code

Code:

rpicam-hello
no issues the camera takes a minute but comes on then after 5 seconds or whatever it is goes off. Now for the next step I try this code

Code:

rpicam-still -o picture.jpg
The Zero 2 W reboots and I have to use my password to sign in then it boots back in like nothing went wrong. I'm going to try a few more times and maybe get an error but It actually did the same thing when I had my Raspberry v1.3 camera connected which is why I changed to the v2.
Ok I dont know how to move the Screen Shots to my normal PC and a Pi Zero 2 W seems to seriously lag when trying to do much expecially if I tried to open a Browser to post the SS here so....
I noticed in the SS I took right before it rebooted some yellow information so fortunately I have what it says. Ok because I have VNC opened I can just use Snip it to show the SS lol.

well hopefully that will help, I don't know what it means where the Yellow writing is.

Thank you
