Review: Good deal - Worked well out the box with particle.io Tachyon, helpfully includes both cable types, and reasonable/useful case.
Review: Very good camera with autofocus - I made few tests but I see better quality than others like 5 or 8 MP. It only can be used with Bullseye+ OS. I used a 64bit OS in a RPi 3B+. At first I was able to use this camera but OV5647 neither IMX 219/8MP. I installed required drivers detailed in the user manual but after that any of them were detected. Also had problems with python Picamera2 module. This one was solved with the help of Arducam folks at their forum. The other problems were solved rapidly letting techs access the Pi remotely. Very good support team.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with octoprint or does it require raspberry pi OS?**
A: Hello customer, please note that this imx519 camera can work with octopi, just refer to this link: https://www.arducam.com/docs/cameras-for-raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-libcamera-guide/autofocus-camera -solution-using-on-octopi/

**Q: is the lens removable?**
A: Hi,
Just to let you know that the lens can't remove.

**Q: Which kernel/packages are required for this camera? i'm on linux 5.10.103 (march 8, 2022) on a pi 4 (4 gb), and vcgencmd says supported=1, detected=0.**
A: Hello customer, sorry for the late reply, if you use the linux 5.10.103, you need to install the specific driver manually, please refer to the link: https://forum.arducam.com/t/16mp-autofocus-raspbian-buster-no- camera-available/2464/5

**Q: Can the focusing motor be programmatically controlled via I2C or otherwise? Or is this just an auto-focus that cannot be controlled?**
A: The focus can be manually controlled and, as I recall, the driver package contains some scripts and examples to demonstrate the control API.  Since no extra cables are needed, I assume it's just using the CSI cable's standard control channel (I2C I believe)

### ⭐ This sounds like a good deal.....
*by T***N on 4 May 2025*

This sounds like a good deal..... No support what so ever can really be found! After an entire day of trying to get this to work, I am still left with a fuzzy non focusing camera, missing and misplaced libraires. I am going to give it another full day worth of attempts.... I am pretty sure I am going to have to recode(make my own) everything in order to use at all. Phew super big let down! spent I bunch of money on this one too.
