8MP IMX219 Autofocus Camera Module for Raspberry Pi

This Arducam 8MP IMX219 camera module for the Raspberry Pi features autofocus with a motorised lens, designed for you to control the focus with your Raspberry Pi via software for both convenience and project automation.

With simple configuration, you can control this camera’s focus automatically with Python scrips and OpenCV, or manually by using keyboard input. No longer do you require direct access to your camera module to refocus with tools.

The camera module plugs straight into your Raspberry Pi’s camera connector, and this particular module is bundled with additional camera cables to allow you to use with the smaller connector on a Raspberry Pi 5 or Zero.

We also offer a 16MP Autofocus camera and 64MP autofocus camera, however, these versions are not bundled with the additional cables.

Please note: This camera module is only supported with the latest Raspberry Pi OS. Please see the manual and guide for more information.
