Sorry, what is the question? The description is pretty self explaining:
Valid values: on, off, first, best, center
'normal' or 'default' are not config values

It looks like the default value has changed from 'on' in the the
previous version to 'off' in 4.1.1
I've left it as 'off' as that's the default and everything seems to be
working fine. Actually, scratch that. It isn't. It's doing video but not
stills.
So yeah, WAD, user error. I've got it now. All good. I guess I was just
confused by 'off' being the default.

I removed version 4.0 and installed:
stretch_motion_4.1.1-1_amd64.deb
Now when I start motion with: $ sudo service motion start, I get:
netcam_start: Network Camera starting for camera ((null))
netcam_start: Invalid netcam service 'rtsp' - must be http, ftp, mjpg,
mjpeg, v4l2 or file.
The netcam_url value was working in version 4.0
Searching the internet suggests this was a problem in older versions of
Motion.
Does anyone have a solution?
