## Overview

The Arducam IMX477 HQ Camera Module features a 12.3MP Sony sensor with motorized autofocus controllable via software or keyboard, offering a 100° field of view. Designed specifically for Nvidia Jetson Orin platforms, it requires no hardware modifications and supports advanced machine vision tasks with high-resolution imaging and flexible focus control.

## Description

This Arducam IMX477 High Quality motorized focus camera module is designed for Jetson Board, integrates a motor that could be controlled by software for a smarter focus, and you will no longer focus the camera by screwing the lens with your bare hands. Instead, keyboard keys or OpenCV can be used to remotely control the focusing process of your HQ camera. Other than its motorized focus, it offers the same picture quality and camera controls as the Raspberry Pi High Quality camera. However, the Arducam High Quality Camera Modules do not require any hardware modifications to work with the Jetson Platform. SPECIFICATION Image Sensor - Sensor Model: IMX477 - Shutter Type: Rolling shutter - Sensor resolution: 4056 x 3040 pixels, 12.3MP - Image Sensor Format: Type 1/2.3″ - Pixel Size: 1.55 µm x 1.55 µm Lens Assembly - Optical Format: 1/2.3” - Focal Length: 3.9mm - Aperture: F2.8 - Field of View (FOV): 75° (H) on Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, 50°(H) on Raspberry Pi V1/V2 Camera - Mount: M12 mount - Back Focal Length: 4.49mm - MOD: 0.3m - Dimension: Φ14×18.67mm - Weight: 5g KERNEL CAMERA DRIVER USED This camera relies on kernel drivers to work – one kernel version, one camera driver. - Versions earlier than JetPack 4.3 (L4T 32.3.1) are not supported. - Up or downgrading your OS leads to a kernel bump, and you’ll need to re-install a matching driver. - Future JetPack/kernel updates require future drivers. When that happens, please allow us some time to process. And if you don’t see it released in time, kindly remind us.PACKAGE CONTENTS 1 × Arducam 12MP IMX477 Motorized Focus High Quality Camera for Jetson Board 1 × 300mm 15pin-22pin flex ribbon cable

Review: Had initial problems due to using an incorrect cable. Improved documentation would be helpful. Support resolved the issue and sent me the correct cable at no charge. I offered to pay, but they would not accept my money.
Review: I took this all the way to Malaysia and trudged it through palm tree plantations and palm oil mills, and it worked perfectly. Only issues I have are some odd auto-exposure or contrast or something that sometimes changes the appearance of images, and a bit of fisheye effect at larger distances. Need to look into the software for the first, but I plan to go forward with this camera.

Only works with official NVIDIA boards - will not work with WaveShare, etc versions of the Jetson Orin Nano. I contacted Arducam and they are not planning to make this camera compatible with any other boards.
