 ,

The 

Nucleo-L476RG doesn&39t support Digital camera interface (DCMI).

So, you can emulate a parallel communication using GPIOs and DMA (see this application note 

https://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/application_note/7a/88/df/e3/d3/36/40/29/DM00169730.pdf/files/DM00169730.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00169730.pdf

, which may help you for DCMI emulation).

I recommend you to start using a board with DCMI interface, for that h

ave a look to this

Application note Digital camera interface (DCMI), which provides an explanation on the DCMI and related resources availability, a description of camera modules and their main components.
