M12 7.97mm Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 12MP M12 Wide Angle lens is designed for imaging systems that need to capture a relatively broad scene from a compact camera position. Its 89° diagonal FOV on a 2/3″ sensor provides wide-area coverage, while the F1.8 aperture helps maintain sufficient light throughput when the available illumination is limited.

Unlike a low distortion lens, this optical design intentionally allows substantial geometric distortion, with specified distortion below -16%. This characteristic makes the lens suitable for applications where wide scene coverage is more important than maintaining straight-line geometry, such as panoramic observation, spatial awareness, compact robotic vision, and wide-area embedded imaging.

The lens supports both 2/3″ and 1/1.8″ sensors. On a 2/3″ sensor, it provides a significantly wider 89° diagonal FOV, while the 1/1.8″ configuration produces a 70° diagonal FOV. This allows system designers to adjust the imaging coverage according to the selected camera sensor.

For applications where engineers need to determine the relationship between sensor format, focal length, and viewing coverage, the FOV Calculator can be used during the optical selection process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor sizes are compatible with this M12 Wide Angle lens?
A: The lens is designed for both 2/3″ and 1/1.8″ image formats. The resulting field of view varies according to the sensor size.

Q: What is the field of view on a 2/3″ sensor?
A: On a 2/3″ sensor, the lens provides an 89° diagonal, 70° horizontal, and 51° vertical field of view.

Q: What is the field of view on a 1/1.8″ sensor?
A: On a 1/1.8″ sensor, the specified FOV is 70° diagonal, 56° horizontal, and 40° vertical.

Q: Is this M12 lens a Wide Angle lens?
A: Yes. The lens is classified as a Wide Angle lens based on its wide-angle optical configuration and specified distortion of less than -16%. The relatively high distortion is an intentional characteristic of this type of optical design.

Q: Is this lens a low distortion lens?
A: No. Its specified distortion is below -16%, so it should not be classified as a low distortion lens. It is better suited to applications prioritizing broad scene coverage over strict geometric accuracy.

Q: What resolution does this M12 Wide Angle lens support?
A: The lens is specified for 12MP resolution, making it suitable for high-resolution embedded and industrial imaging systems.

Q: What is the aperture of this lens?
A: The lens has a fixed F1.8 aperture, providing relatively high light throughput for wide-angle imaging applications.

Q: Does the IRCF specification mean that this lens is IR corrected?
A: No. The specified structure includes IRCF, which refers to an IR Cut Filter. This should not be interpreted as an IR-corrected optical design. The lens is primarily configured for visible-light imaging.
