Raspberry Pi’s 12-megapixel Upgrade: New Camera Modules with Powered Autofocus now Available

Raspberry Pi has launched four new camera modules, each with its own unique features. The standard field-of-view (FoV) variants provide a 66-degree horizontal field of view, which is roughly equivalent to a 28mm full-frame lens. The wide-angle version, on the other hand, offers a 102-degree horizontal field of view, similar to that of a 14mm full-frame lens.

The wide-angle version has a more expensive and complex optical stack, which makes it a bit thicker than the standard version (12.4mm compared to 11.5mm). The camera also offers HDR capability, enabling you to take multiple simultaneous exposures with different exposure times, allowing you to capture shots with the correct exposure on both interior and exterior details.
