A 16MP autofocus high-resolution camera board that takes what Raspberry Pi V1, V2, and HQ have to offer, and excels in every single aspect.
It takes zero compromises in specs. With a resolution of 16 megapixels (compared to 8MP and 12MP), an autofocus lens, a V2-like form factor, and boatloads of improvements, the camera provide a better choice for a whole world of industrial/consumer/etc. applications, it’s compatible with any existing Pi models, work with the latest software from the foundation, and leverages the same tuning algorithms used in the official camera modules.
Currently, NVIDIA official has released the NVIDIA Jetson Orin series developer board. Based on it, we have also adapted the camera into NVIDIA Jetson Orin kernel.

Safety instructions
- Before connecting, you should always power the Raspberry Pi off and remove the power supply first.
- Make sure the cable on the camera board is locked in place.
- Make sure the cable is correctly inserted in the Raspberry Pi board’s MIPI CSI-2 connector.
- Avoid high temperatures.
- Avoid water, moisture, or conductive surfaces while in operation.
- Avoid folding, or straining the flex cable.
- Avoid cross-threading with tripods.
- Gently push/pull the connector to avoid damaging the printed circuit board.
- Avoid moving or handling the printed circuit board excessively while it’s in operation.
- Handle by the edges to avoid damages from electrostatic discharge.
- Where the camera board is stored should be cool and as dry as possible.
- Sudden temperature/humidity changes can cause dampness in the lens and affect the image/video quality.

Product Description
16MP Autofocus Camera for Raspberry Pi
Arducam High-Resolutions Autofocus camera is an exclusive camera board that takes what Raspberry Pi V1, V2, and HQ have to offer, and excels in every single aspect.
It takes zero compromise in specs. With a resolution at 16 megapixels (compared to 8MP and 12MP), an autofocus lens, a V2-like form factor, and boatloads of improvements, the camera provide a better choice for a whole world of industrial/consumer/etc. applications, it’s compatible with any existing Pi models, work with the latest software from the foundation, and leverages the same tuning algorithms used in the official camera modules.
The package contains a camera board with a Sony IMX519 sensor and an autofocus lens, an FPC cable, a camera enclosure that also works with the V1 and V2 board.

Feature
- 【16MP for All Pis】The new Raspberry Pi camera features a 16MP Sony IMX519 sensor with a pixel resolution of 4656 x 3496, twice as high as the v2 camera and 40% higher than the HQ camera; it is compatible with any Raspberry Pi board with a MIPI/CSI interface and runs directly on the Raspberry Pi OS without much configuration.
- 【Autofocus Camera Moudle】Built-in autofocus motor allows you to get focus quickly so that you can focus to infinity no matter where you place your camera. The minimum focus distance is 10cm, and the longest allowed exposure time is 200 seconds.
- 【Crisper Images/Videos】The 16 megapixel camera can capture 1080p Full HD video at up to 30 frames per second and 720p HD video at up to 60 frames per second, and also provides an effective 80-degree field of view.
- 【V1/V2 Size】The autofocus camera module has the same size as the pi camera V2, it can be installed with plastic housing, which is also suitable for V1 and V2 boards. And the housing also has an integrated tripod mounting hole, which you can install on any 1/4 hole distance tripod.
- 【Package Contents】The package includes a camera board with Sony IMX519 sensor and an autofocus lens, an FPC cable.
