hi Sara, thank you for replying.I am using an esp32 S Cam Model nr: MH-RT LIVE ESP32. The TYPE : logic IC. and brandname: ANteersi.  I am using an esp32 cam MB programmer. The module have an IPUS psram. For compiling and uploading i select AI THINKER. In the default setting of the CameraWebServer.ino script i had problem getting any picture. I am getting also the notification:”E(495) : esp_core_dump_flash: incorrect size of core dump image: 0″
and “E(332) psram: PSRAM ID read error : 0xffffffff.
So i have changed the config.jpeg_quality to 4; and
config.fb_count  to 1 and FRAMESIZE to CIF.
Now i have streaming images (not so smooth, but…) i can take pictures and save them, the quality can be better.
But i still getting the error notifications. 
I hope this will help to solve the problem
regards
siegmund

Hi.
Check the flash size options in Tools > Flash Size. It should be Huge App (No OTA).
