Frequently Asked Questions
-
- Q: Why does the spec sheet explicitly optimize for the IMX324 sensor?
-
- A: The Sony IMX324 is a prominent automotive sensor used widely in forward-facing ADAS and self-driving arrays. Mapping this lens directly to it ensures you get the exact field of view values (144° Diagonal / 125° Horizontal) required for active vehicular algorithmic calculations.
-
- Q: What is the main benefit of the 6G all-glass structure for automotive and drone use?
-
- A: Cheap plastic lenses expand or contract under intense heat, causing the camera to go out of focus. This lens uses a 6G glass lens blueprint, which guarantees total thermal stability across severe temperature swings, perfect for vehicle dashboards and outdoor flight.
-
- Q: Does this 144° lens experience massive fish-eye warping?
-
- A: This model has an optical distortion of <-63% to achieve its sweeping panoramic view. While it introduces a classic wide curve characteristic of a fisheye lens, its sharp 7MP resolution ensures that vehicle AI models or computer de-warping software can trace geometric shapes flawlessly.
-
- Q: What type of filter is integrated into the “6G+IRF” structure?
-
- A: It includes a pre-glued IRF (Infrared Filter), usually a 650nm IR-cut filter. This filter blocks unwanted infrared light wavelengths from ruining daytime exposure, ensuring highly natural, true-to-life color accuracy for security and vehicular footage.
-
- Q: Can this M12 lens mount directly to a standard CS-mount box camera?
-
- A: This lens features a native M12 board thread, which is smaller than a CS mount. To lock it onto a standard CS-mount camera frame, you will simply need a standard M12-to-CS thread adapter ring.
-
- Q: Is the iris adjustable on this 7 Megapixel model?
-
- A: No, it features a fixed iris with a bright aperture of F2.0. A fixed iris is standard and highly preferred for automated industrial lenses, drones, and vehicle modules because it removes moving parts, maximizing product lifetime under intense vibrations while the camera shutter dynamically adapts exposure.
