Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the IMX708 12MP camera module compatible with all Raspberry Pi boards?
A: This IMX708 autofocus camera is designed to be compatible with Raspberry Pi series boards. It shares the same dimensions as the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, making it an easy fit for existing cases and mounts. Always verify your specific Raspberry Pi model's camera connector version before purchasing.
Q: What software libraries does this Raspberry Pi camera support?
A: The IMX708 camera module supports the libcamera library, as well as Picamera2 and rpicam-apps built on top of it. This means you can start capturing images and video quickly without additional driver configuration, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced developers.
Q: Does the 120° wide-angle FOV affect image quality or distortion?
A: The 120° field of view provides broad scene coverage well-suited for surveillance, robotics, and wide-angle photography. As with all wide-angle lenses, some barrel distortion at the edges is possible, which can typically be corrected in post-processing or via software settings in libcamera/Picamera2.
Q: What cables are included with the IMX708 camera module?
A: The package includes one FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) and one FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) cable, so you have what you need to connect the camera to your Raspberry Pi board right away.
