## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the minimum focusing distance?**
A: The minimum focusing distance is 30cm.

**Q: Does this come with a lens or just a lens mount? And if it does, what lens is included? (meaning, the focal length or field of view of the lens)**
A: This come with a lens, the default lens is HX-27227,lens focus is 4mm. Please check following link for detail parameter: http://www.arducam.com/downloads/Lenses/LS-27227.jpgThere are also other lens suitable to this camera module:http://www.arducam.com/downloads/Lenses/

**Q: Does this support night vision?**
A: The default Arducam mini 5 MP plus is with the IR filter,so the camera module is unable to sense the red light.But we can help you to remove the IR filter which enable the camera module to sense the red light at night.

**Q: What is the distance from the center of the lens to the board edges?**
A: It's 12.2mm to the left and right.
