That means the camera was not found.
Which camera did you ENABLE in the long list of disabled cameras?
If you post your code between code tags we could tell you.
Let me supply the code and all the settings.
Board: AI thinker ESP32-CAM
Com port 9
Cpu frequency: 240Mhz(wifi/Bt)
Core debug level: none
Erase all flash before sketch enabled
Flash frequency: 80Mhz
Flash mode: QIO
Partition scheme: huge APP
Programmer: esptool
I have also included the last error i have a few minutes ago.
I have now idea what is going on here.

Here is how my board is set up. If yours is same then double check camera cable. If still no luck, try a different board. I always order these 6 to 10 at a time in case of DOA boards.
I see that in post #3, you have correctly set the board model:
and now the "ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND" error is no longer present in the Serial Monitor output you shared:
The messages that are still printed to Serial Monitor look alarming, but they are normal and expected so just ignore them.
What is unexpected is that we don't see anything else printed after the "No core dump partition found!".
We would expect to either see something like this:
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................
WiFi connected
Camera Ready! Use 'http://192.168.254.129' to connect
(this is what I get when I add the SSID and password of my Wi-Fi access point to your sketch and upload it to my ESP32-CAM)
Or else just an endless string of "..." if the ESP32-CAM isn't able to connect to your Wi-Fi access point.
Did you post all the content from Serial Monitor? Or is there more? If you don't have autoscrolling enabled in Serial Monitor, you might need to scroll its output panel down to see it all.
