About this item

The Arducam 1.58MP IMX296 Color Global Shutter Camera Module is a compact, high-performance imaging solution tailored for motion-sensitive applications on the Raspberry Pi platform. Featuring the Sony IMX296 global shutter CMOS sensor, this camera captures 1.58-megapixel color images (1440 × 1080) without distortion caused by motion blur, making it ideal for high-speed object tracking, industrial inspection, robotics, and machine vision. Unlike rolling shutter sensors, the global shutter technology in the IMX296 exposes all pixels simultaneously, enabling crisp image capture even during rapid movement. The included M12 lens provides flexibility in field of view and depth of field adjustments, giving users greater control over imaging performance. The module connects to the Raspberry Pi through the standard MIPI CSI-2 interface, ensuring full software support and seamless integration with Raspberry Pi models including 4B, 3B+, Zero, and Compute Modules. It supports standard camera libraries and is compatible with popular development environments such as OpenCV and libcamera. With low latency, accurate color capture, and high-speed capability, this camera module is perfect for developers and engineers building real-time vision systems that require both clarity and responsiveness under dynamic conditions.
