If you somehow find that explanations above inscrutable, here are some photos taken by Arducam engineers with our own lenses of different focal lengths to illustrate how it affects the image. On the contrary, a longer focal length will result in a narrower view and a close-up of details. Besides, the stronger ability enables it to squeeze more content into the image frame, so you will get a wider angle. If it’s better at converging the light, the beams from different angles will meet each other faster, leading to a shorter focal length. Focal length – The shorter, the widerįocal length manifests a camera lens’ ability to converge the light, or in a simpler way, how hard it bends the light. Therefore, to get you ready for selecting and using the camera lens that suits you most, we will be talking about 3 crucial factors – focal length, focus, and aperture. There is nothing wrong with endorsing lens manufacturers, but the question is it’s hard to cover all the user need with just two lenses, and the majority of Pi users have little idea about what kind of pictures those two can produce. 6mm Wide Angle and 16mm telephoto lens for Raspberry Pi HQ CameraĪlthough the Raspberry Pi does not make camera lenses, they’ve teamed up with third-party manufacture to recommend two lenses for the High Quality camera, respectively a 6mm CS-Mount lens and a 16mm C-Mount lens, priced at $25 and $50. Arducam has been pushing interchangeable lenses to Pi cameras since the release of V1, so we think we should write a blog showing the customers what they might need to know for choosing a lens for their camera since every HQ camera buyer now has to make the decision. Interchangeable lenses are not fresh to camera hobbyists but could be new to the mainstream Pi community. To some degree, the HQ camera is quite different from the V2, because it’s not complete – the official camera module does not include the lens, and you have to pick one from the third-party manufactures before you can actually use this module. Raspberry Pi claims that it’s not an iteration of the V2 camera, but more like another product line. When the new camera finally arrived in April 2020, it surprised us with the name of High Quality Camera. If I were asked about a new Pi camera releasing in 2019, I would be thinking about a Raspberry Pi Camera Module V3, which could have been arriving after the release of V1 in 2013 and V2 in 2016. HQ cam is not the new V3 – it’s not a full camera module
