Picamzero and Picamera2

The picamzero library is a simplified wrapper of the Picamera2 library. This means that if you need to use more advanced features from Picamera2 that are not available in picamzero, you can do this without having to alter the rest of your program.

To do this, access the pc2 object inside the camera:

from picamzero import Camera
cam = Camera()

# Use a Picamera2 method
cam.pc2.start_encoder()
