12MP Motorised Focus IMX477 HQ Camera for Raspberry Pi

This Arducam IMX477 High-Quality motorised focus camera module for the Raspberry Pi integrates a motor that can be controlled via software for a smarter focus, no longer requiring you to focus the camera by turning the lens by hand!

Instead of manual adjustment, keyboard taps or OpenCV can be used to remotely control the focusing process of your HQ camera. It’s similar to the Official 12MP IMX477 High-Quality Camera module using the same sensor and code/commands, but with smarter focus control options!

For intuitive focus control: Fine-tune the focus with keyboard arrow keys. For automated focus control: Autofocus with OpenCV examples. The focus motor is controlled via camera I2C.

Two FPC camera cables are included – one for the Pi 4/3/2 and another for the Pi Zero, Pi 5 and Compute Module.
