Another significant improvement in the new camera module is autofocus. The previous module had a fixed autofocus, which limited its versatility, but the new module comes with built-in powered autofocus capability. This feature allows for a more versatile camera that can focus on objects ranging in distance from 5cm (2 inches) to infinity. The new camera module is also a bit thicker (up to 12.4mm compared to 9mm) but the added thickness is worth it for the improved autofocus feature.
In addition to these improvements, the new camera module also has infrared and HDR support. The wide-angle FOV makes it more versatile and opens up a wide range of possibilities for users. Overall, the new camera module is a significant improvement over its predecessor and will provide users with a better experience.
