ArduCam B024001 12MP IMX477 HQ Camera Board with Tripod Mount for

Raspberry Pi

This Arducam IMX477 High-Quality Camera board is designed for Raspberry Pi, no lens is included in this product, and we recommend you use a C- or CS-mount lens with it.

SETUP

Fitting the lens

1. Identify your lens mount Type
   You should prepare a lens for this camera board. 3 kinds of lenses are used most for embedded cameras – M12 lens, C-Mount Lens, and CS-Mount Lens. Make sure which kind of lens you are using before proceeding.

2. For CS-Mount Lens
   CS-mount is the stock mount of this camera module, and it won’t focus properly if any other adapter is fitted, so remove it if there is one. Then rotate the CS-Mount lens into the CS camera mount.

3. For C-Mount Lens
   Thread the C-CS adapter that comes with the lens first. C-mount lens has a longer back focus length, and therefore requires the adapter. Then rotate the C-Mount Lens into the C-CS adapter.

4. For M12 Lens
   Thread the M12-CS adapter that comes with the lens first. Then rotate the M12 Lens into the M12-CS adapter.

CONNECT THE CAMERA

You need to connect the camera module to the Raspberry Pi’s camera port.

1. Locate the camera port near the USB C power connector, and gently pull up on the plastic edge.
2. Push in the camera ribbon and make sure the silver connector is facing the Raspberry Pi camera MIPI port. Do not bend the flex cable and make sure it is firmly inserted.
3. Push the plastic connector down while holding the flex cable until the connector is back in place.
