ArduCAM 8MP IMX219 M-Focus Cam

The ArduCAM team has released a series of camera modules for the Raspberry Pi, including 5MP and 8MP modules. They are fully compatible with the official version and are divided into Standard Version, Optimized Optical Performance Version, Miniature Spy Camera Version, NoIR Version, Motorized IR Cut Version and Programmable Motorized Focus Camera Version. These camera modules support all Raspberry Pi models and require a 15-to-22 pin cable or adapter to work with the Pi Zero.

This Arducam IMX219 fisheye lens camera module is mainly designed for Raspberry Pi V2 camera board and replaces the standard IMX219 camera module with the autofocus module. It can be used for drone, robot, action camera and 3D scanning applications.
The highlight of this camera is that the lens focus is programmable by software. The Arducam team is providing open-source code to implement the software autofocus feature for the Jetson Nano.

To learn more about autofocus with Raspberry Pi camera modules, we recommend the book Raspberry Pi Camera Autofocus: The Complete Guide (English only).
