Features
- Complementary to RPI V3: A fixed focus supplement to the Raspberry Pi IMX708 autofocus camera module 3, catering to lots of use cases where auto-focus lenses are improper or unsafe.
- Arducam Camera Module 3: Based on back-illuminated stacked CMOS 12-megapixels high resolution Image Sensor (Sony IMX708) with HDR mode for up to 3-megapixel output. Same basic functions as Raspberry Pi Official Camera Module 3.
- Quality Images: Armed with a 66°(HFOV) fixed focus lens and the max resolution reaches 4608 × 2592. Compared to an autofocus lens, it realizes a faster-focusing speed hence stabler images. Along with built-in 2D DPC and QBC Re-mosaic function, offering a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The high resolution and performance of the sensor enable the camera to capture ultra-high quality images.
- Native to Raspberry Pi: Natively supported by Raspberry Pi. No additional driver is needed when using the camera on Raspberry Pi. You only need to make some modifications in the config file. Supports Raspberry Pi OS and libcamera command.
- Platform Compatibility: Supports Raspberry Pi 3, 4 A/B, equipped with 15-22pin and 15-15pin FPC flexible cables. Supports application on Raspberry Pi Zero.
