== Summary ==
The RPi Camera (F) is a 5 MP camera for Raspberry Pi with an OV5647 sensor, adjustable focus, and infrared night vision. It connects via the CSI port and can be controlled using rpicam, libcamera, or raspicam commands.

== Technical overview ==
* Sensor: OV5647, 5 megapixels, supports infrared night vision.
* Connects via the CSI port; Raspberry Pi 5 provides two CSI ports.
* Cable orientation: metal side of the FPC cable faces the Ethernet port (Pi 5), HDMI port (other boards), or downward (Zero series).
* Supported drivers: libcamera/Raspicam for OV5647 on all Raspberry Pi boards.
* config.txt configuration: set camera_auto_detect=0 for non-official cameras; use dtoverlay=ov5647 for this model.
* Dual-camera setup: assign cam0/cam1 by appending to the dtoverlay line.
* Preview and capture with rpicam-hello, rpicam-jpeg, rpicam-still, rpicam-vid, rpicam-raw, and rpicam-detect.
* Capture example: rpicam-jpeg -o test.jpg -t 2000 --width 640 --height 480.
* Exposure control: fixed shutter speed and gain parameters are available.
* Closest focusing distance after adjustment is approximately 1–2 cm.

== Notes and version constraints ==
* Version sensitivity: Commands differ by OS (Bullseye vs. Bookworm); on older systems, Glamor and the correct display driver may need enabling.
* Using IMX290 on Raspberry Pi 5 requires downloading and copying an additional JSON file from an external source – this needs network access and should be verified beforehand.
* IR LEDs: Do not look directly at full-power IR LEDs, especially in darkness and close range; eye strain is possible.
* Power consumption with the IR lamp ranges from 0.6 W to 6.6 W depending on ambient light; warming during active IR illumination is normal.
* The IR filter is not controllable; achieving sharp focus requires manually rotating the lens.
* The closest-focus distance claim (1–2 cm) comes from manufacturer notes and should be independently verified for critical applications.
