## Description

16MP Auto Focus Camera Module for Arducam Raspberry Pi with ABS Case Compatible with all Raspberry Pi models 16 megapixel high-resolution autofocus camera with IMX519 sensor.

Review: This sounds like a good deal..... No support what so ever can really be found! After an entire day of trying to get this to work, I am still left with a fuzzy non focusing camera, missing and misplaced libraires. I am going to give it another full day worth of attempts.... I am pretty sure I am going to have to recode(make my own) everything in order to use at all. Phew super big let down! spent I bunch of money on this one too.
Review: Für den Raspberry Pi ist die Kamera perfekt. Die Einrichtung ist recht simpel und elektronisches Fachwissen ist auch nicht notwendig. Einziger Nachteil ist, dass die Kamera nicht mit einer Jetson betrieben werden kann. Das ist aber auch so beschrieben. Geht also klar.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with octoprint or does it require raspberry pi OS?**
A: Hello customer, please note that this imx519 camera can work with octopi, just refer to this link: https://www.arducam.com/docs/cameras-for-raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-libcamera-guide/autofocus-camera -solution-using-on-octopi/

**Q: is the lens removable?**
A: Hi,
Just to let you know that the lens can't remove.

**Q: Which kernel/packages are required for this camera? i'm on linux 5.10.103 (march 8, 2022) on a pi 4 (4 gb), and vcgencmd says supported=1, detected=0.**
A: Hello customer, sorry for the late reply, if you use the linux 5.10.103, you need to install the specific driver manually, please refer to the link: https://forum.arducam.com/t/16mp-autofocus-raspbian-buster-no- camera-available/2464/5

**Q: Can the focusing motor be programmatically controlled via I2C or otherwise? Or is this just an auto-focus that cannot be controlled?**
A: The focus can be manually controlled and, as I recall, the driver package contains some scripts and examples to demonstrate the control API.  Since no extra cables are needed, I assume it's just using the CSI cable's standard control channel (I2C I believe)
