3.0mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require wide-angle coverage while maintaining controlled geometric deformation. Its 3.0mm focal length provides a 99° diagonal field of view with the AR0230 on a 1/2.7″ format, allowing the camera to capture a broad scene without relying on a fisheye optical design.

The less-than-1.5% distortion specification makes this lens suitable for applications where maintaining object shape and spatial relationships is important. It can support image processing tasks such as object detection, positioning, recognition, and visual inspection.

The 3MP resolution is well matched to compact industrial and embedded cameras, while the F2.4 fixed aperture provides a consistent optical configuration. The 0.2m minimum object distance allows the lens to be used for applications where the camera operates relatively close to the target.

With a maximum image format of Φ7.9mm, the lens is designed around compact sensor formats, while its M12x0.5 interface simplifies integration into standardized small camera modules.

Designed for compact wide-angle machine vision and embedded imaging applications where controlled distortion is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor is this 3.0mm M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is designed for a maximum image format of Φ7.9mm, with specified FOV performance for a 1/2.7″ AR0230 sensor.

Q: What is the field of view of this lens?
A: With the 1/2.7″ AR0230 sensor, the lens provides a 99° diagonal, 90° horizontal, and 58° vertical field of view.

Q: How much distortion does the lens have?
A: The specified distortion is less than -1.5%. This provides controlled geometric distortion for a wide-angle lens and can be beneficial for machine vision and image-processing applications.

Q: Is this a fisheye lens?
A: No. The 99° diagonal FOV is wide, but the lens is designed as a conventional wide-angle lens with controlled distortion rather than a fisheye lens.

Q: What resolution does the lens support?
A: The lens is specified for 3MP resolution and is intended for compact camera systems using compatible 1/2.7″ sensors.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The M.O.D. is 0.2m, or approximately 200mm, making it suitable for close-to-medium-distance imaging applications.

Q: What does the 2G2P + IRCF construction mean?
A: The optical construction uses two glass elements and two plastic elements together with an IR cut filter. The design is intended for visible-light imaging systems that require controlled infrared transmission.

Q: What cameras can use this M12 lens?
A: The M12x0.5 mount makes it suitable for compact industrial cameras, embedded vision modules, smart cameras, robotic vision systems, and OEM camera assemblies designed for M12 lenses.
