Arducam LN064 120° Wide Angle 1/2.3" M12 Lens w/ Adapter for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera

First, unscrew the default lens from the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera module. Then, screw the provided M12 lens adapter onto the camera's CS mount thread. Finally, thread the Arducam LN064 M12 lens into the adapter. Hand-tighten securely, but avoid over-torquing to prevent damage to the threads. Ensure the lens is seated straight for optimal optical alignment with the sensor.

No, this lens and adapter kit are specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, which uses a larger 1/2.3" sensor and a different mechanical mount. The standard Pi Camera Module 2 uses a smaller sensor and a fixed-focus lens, so this M12 lens system is not physically or optically compatible with those older camera board models.

The Arducam LN064 lens has a Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 0.3 meters (approximately 30 centimeters). Objects closer than this distance will appear out of focus. This specification is suitable for most general-purpose imaging, room monitoring, and outdoor scenes where subjects are not extremely close to the camera lens.

The lens itself is a standard M12 mount optic and can be used with any camera system that has an M12 thread and a sensor size of 1/2.3" or smaller. However, the included adapter is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera's unique CS mount. For other cameras, you would need the appropriate M12 mount or adapter specific to that camera's housing or board.
