Description
The ultra low light image sensor can receive more light in
extremely low light conditions, making it widely applicable to
special lighting projects such as astrophotography. This camera is
based on the SONY IMX290 STARVIS Ultra low light image sensor. The
sensor has very high performance for better image quality in
low-light environments. It features low power consumption and high
functionality and applies R, G, and B primary color mosaic filters,
as well as a variable electronic shutter.The camera is equipped
with a 190° M12 Lens. A manual focus camera allows you to use it in
situations such as macro photographs, low light conditions, etc.
Meanwhile, this camera is native to Raspberry Pi and fully
supported by libcamera and Picamera2 library.
Features
◆Ultra Low Light: Based on Sony STAVIS Ultra Low Light IMX290 image
sensor. The chip uses analog 2.9 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface
1.8 V. This highly sensitive low-light camera can capture extremely
sharp images with minimal noise at extremely low light conditions.
◆Quality Images/Videos: Up to 90fps at 1280x720 resolution, 46fps
at 1920x1080 in still mode. Maximum frame rate in Full HD 1080p
mode: 30 fps. Support Multiple exposure WDR, Digital Overlay WDR
with clear image and higher signal-to-noise ratio.
◆Platform Compatibility: Supports Raspberry Pi 3, 4 A/B, and
CM3/CM4, equipped with 15-22pin FPC flexible cable. Supports
application on Raspberry Pi Zero (22-pin FFC flexible cable not
included in the package).
◆Native to Raspberry Pi: Native to Raspberry Pi. No additional
driver is needed. You just need to execute some modifications in
the config file. Support the latest Raspberry Pi Bullseye OS and
libcamera command/Picamera2 Library.
◆Cost-Effective: Second-to-none choice for performance and cost. It
features low power consumption and high functionality which can
achieve high sensitivity, low dark current, and no smear.
