Pi Zero Camera with short focus?

Post by benriga »

I'm trying to build a camera for a bird feeder using an old Pi Zero W (v1.1). The camera will only be a few inches away from the feeder so needs to have a very short focus. And I guess it should probably be adjustable to fine tune the range. I'm not really sure what specs to look for so I'd appreciate any help in choosing the right camera for this project.

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks Franklin, That's handy. In my case it's a bird feeder so out in the open in sunlight so no need for IR. Do you think all the various Pi Zero cameras will have the same ability to adjust the focal length?

Thanks,
Ben

I think there is a method of focus that can use lenses that will work but you might do better asking in the Raspberry pi forum.
