## Description

Arducam for Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, is the latest camera model officially released for Raspberry Pi, offers users a range of camera options through Arducam's innovative designs. Two Fixed Focus cameras and one M12 camera variant all feature an impressive 11.9 MP IMX708 image sensor capable of capturing Full HD video and stills, including HDR mode with up to 3 megapixels. The M12 camera variant features a 120° wide-angle lens, allowing for a deeper depth of field while effectively reducing bokeh. Meanwhile, the manual focus camera is ideal for macro photos, low light, and other scenarios where autofocus may struggle. Additionally, all Arducam cameras are native to RPi and fully supported by the libcamera and Picamera2 libraries. Arducam is dedicated to providing diverse and convenient camera solutions for Raspberry Pi users, offering a range of accessories for the 3rd generation camera module, including Camera Extension, Quad-Vision stereo camera kit, UVC USB camera solution, and the upcoming FPD-Link solution. With Arducam's innovative camera designs and accessory options, Pi users can take their photography and video capabilities to the next level.

Review: Nice camera but more than I needed. RPi 5 requires 2 narrow ends on ribbon cable with this can. It's provided but short at 250 mm length. Follow the configuration edits for RPi operation. Fairly painless "Bookworm " installation with the configuration edits. Works great with installation of XRDP in Bookworm for Remote Desktop connection to rpi from Windows 11 and video stream connection. Don't use auto login on RPi if you're going to Remote Desktop.
Review: I have been wanting to get an octoprint setup going on one of my 3D printers for a long time. I got this raspberry pi camera module 3 from Arducam for the project. I can't believe how small this board/lens is, and they pack it in an amazingly tiny box--only about 1.5 inches cube. I am pleasantly surprised with the picture quality. I guess I've seen so many dark grainy photos from others of their 3D prints that I wasn't expecting this to be so excellent, with vibrant color. The manual focus may not suit everyone's situations, but this is perfect for 3D printer monitoring, since there is a moving print head to trick any sensor. I tested this out on a raspberry pi 3B+. I did have to briefly battle the "no camera" issue, but that was a configuration change I needed to make in the raspberry pi to disable auto detection and set the camera module manually. That was clear enough in their on-line discussions. Once I did that, it worked great. I was resting the camera upside down and found the way to invert the images. I'm quite impressed with this incredibly tiny camera. I may need to get an extension cable depending on how I mount this on my printer setup. But this is great for what I'm hoping to do.
