+## Camera support
+
+### Arducam 16MP
+
+The 16MP sensor is supported by default in Raspberry PI OS after adding to `/boot/config.txt`.
+However it will not support auto-focus nor manual focus due to lack of `ak7535` compiled
+and enabled in `imx519`. Focus can be manually controlled via `i2c-tools`:
+
+```shell
+# /boot/config.txt
+dtoverlay=imx519,media-controller=0
+
+# /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
+i2c-dev
+
+# after starting camera execute to control the focus with `0xXX`, any value between `0x00` to `0xff`
+# RPI02W (and possible 2+, 3+):
+i2ctransfer -y 22 w4@0x0c 0x0 0x85 0x00 0x00
+
+# RPI4:
+i2ctransfer -y 11 w4@0x0c 0x0 0xXX 0x00 0x00
+```
