Arducam’s latest 64MP ‘OwlSight’ camera sets new standards with the largest sensor size available for Raspberry Pi cameras, with an impressive resolution of 9248 x 6944 pixels. Additionally, it supports an impressive 10x digital zoom, allowing for flexibility in framing and capturing subjects at varying distances. What’s more, the product boasts a maximum exposure value of 900s at maximum resolution.
This sensor size empowers exceptional light-sensitive performance, even in complex lighting conditions.
The camera offers seamless compatibility with libcamera, delivering a hassle-free experience for Raspberry Pi users. No need to tinker with any configuration files – it’s truly a plug-and-play solution right out of the box.
The camera presents a variety of focus options, including auto-focus, manual focus, and continuous focus. Whether you require meticulous control over focus or prefer a hands-off approach, this camera can cater to your specific needs.
The package includes two different FPC cables for use with different boards, including Pi 5 and Zero!
The included case is compatible with standard tripods, however mounts from the rear – we recommend grabbing a swivel ball adapter!
