That matches what I'm seeing. The code didn't originally
alloc and init the image until just prior to dropping it in
the image well.  I tried a pre alloc/init on the off chance it
would make things faster.  Nope.

For this application the camera preview jpg inside of the raw image
would be of good enough quality.  I'm looking at what it would take
to extract that.
