About this item

The Arducam 8MP IMX219 Auto Focus Camera Module is a high-quality imaging solution tailored for Raspberry Pi users who need sharp, adaptable, and programmable focus. Built around the 8-megapixel Sony IMX219 sensor, it delivers crystal-clear still images at a resolution of 3280×2464 and supports full HD video modes. Unlike the fixed-focus camera modules commonly bundled with Raspberry Pi kits, this model features a motorized lens that supports both automatic and software-controlled manual focusing. Its auto-focus capability is especially useful for projects that involve varying object distances, such as surveillance, robotics, facial recognition, and smart vision systems. Users can easily fine-tune the focus using simple Python scripts or integrate focus control into their custom applications using OpenCV or libcamera. The lens has a wide 77.6° diagonal field of view, with a focus range from 80mm to infinity, ensuring versatility in close-up and distant imaging. Its compact 25×24mm board size makes it easy to integrate into small enclosures or mobile systems. Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, 3A+, Zero, and Zero 2 W, this module is ideal for developers and makers looking to upgrade their Raspberry Pi camera performance with precision and ease.
