About this item

The Arducam 8 MP IMX219 Camera Module with M12 Lens LS40136 is a high-resolution upgrade for Raspberry Pi boards, offering enhanced photographic clarity and flexibility. Built around the Sony IMX219 sensor, it captures sharp 8 MP stills at 3280 × 2464 pixels and supports smooth video streaming with modes like 1080p (~47 fps), 1640 × 1232 (~41 fps), and 480p (~206 fps)—perfect for both vibrant photography and responsive real-time applications. Featuring a manual-focus M12 lens with a 2.8 mm focal length and F-stop of 2.2, the module delivers a 70° horizontal field of view, striking a balance between wide scene capture and moderate detail. The integrated IR-cut filter ensures accurate color reproduction under visible light. The module connects via the standard 15-pin MIPI CSI-2 interface, allowing plug-and-play use with Raspberry Pi’s native camera stack and libcamera without needing custom drivers. Measuring a compact 36 × 36 mm and drawing approximately 300 mA, it is well-suited for embedded systems, robotics, surveillance, and creative imaging projects. The lightweight design and standard connector ensure it can be swapped in quickly, making it an accessible and powerful choice for users upgrading their Pi imaging capabilities.
