How to I set update interval, now that we are moving camera from yaml to UI integration starting 2022.4

So I have this on my Dashboard/Lovelace for 4+ years, using the camera card. I understand it is a bit unusual using generic camera, but fits well and works well, and is one of the examples on the website.

For reference, the codes are:

camera:
  # Add Satellite from NOAA
  - platform: generic
    name: US SE Satellite
    still_image_url: https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/CONUS/GEOCOLOR/1250x750.jpg
    limit_refetch_to_url_change: true
    scan_interval: 5000     # in seconds

= = = fast forward to today = = =
Now, starting 2022.4, looks like we are moving this camera away from yaml to UI integration.
And I checked the UI, I do not see where I can do the scan_interval thing. The closest I can see is the Frame Rate (Hz), but they are integers… So how do I do something like 0.0002 Hz ???
(BTW, what does “-3 Hz” or “0 Hz” mean to this HA?)

Or… should I use other types of cards instead of camera these days? Any recommendation??
Or… should I barge into some hidden folder to edit some hidden json / yaml somewhere?
Or maybe this is discussed somewhere on GitHub?
