OV5640 camera module 72° vision Autofocus

The OV5640 is a 5MP HD camera module featuring a 24-pin 0.5mm pitch connector. It is widely used for high-quality image and video capture in embedded systems, offering support for 1080p video and advanced image processing capabilities with autofocus.

Key Features:

1. Resolution:

   • 5 megapixels (2592 x 1944 resolution)
   • Supports video modes including 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and VGA.

2. Lens:

   • Built-in fixed focus lens.
   • Lens type: CMOS sensor.

3. Interface:

   • 24-pin FPC connector with a 0.5mm pitch.
   • Uses DVP (Digital Video Port) interface.
   • I2C interface for configuration and control.

4. Image Processing:

   • Embedded image signal processor (ISP) for features like:
     • Automatic White Balance (AWB)
     • Automatic Exposure Control (AEC)
     • Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
     • Defect Pixel Correction
     • Lens Shading Correction

Applications:

• Surveillance cameras.
