I'm going to show you how to set up one of the coolest new features in Betaflight 3.2: camera control. With this feature, you can operate the OSD menu of your FPV camera from your transmitter. NO MORE TINY JOYSTICKS to plug in in the field.

THIS IS A GAME CHANGER. Now you don't need to find the "best camera settings" for every situation. You can just tweak brightness and contrast and etc. as need be.

Thanks to Andrey Mironov (diehertz) for being the primary developer of this feature.

When choosing a capacitor, use 1 to 10 microfarad if you are using software PWM. If using hardware PWM (the default), use 0.1 microfarad.
