Where did you get the camera module(s)?

Arducam website

Model number of the product(s)?

SKU: B0068 (Arducam 5MP Plus OV5642 Mini Module Camera Shield)

What hardware/platform were you working on?

Arduino

What help do you need?

Is it possible to get the raw data from the sensor? (as in the exposure values per pixel)

Hello, Welcome to our community.Here is a demo about how to get raw image

github.com

ArduCAM/Arducam_mini/blob/main/examples/mini/ArduCAM_Mini_5MP_Plus_OV5642_RAW/ArduCAM_Mini_5MP_Plus_OV5642_RAW.ino

// ArduCAM demo (C)2017 Lee
// Web: http://www.ArduCAM.com
// This program is a demo of how to capture image in RAW format
// 1. Capture and buffer the image to FIFO every 5 seconds 
// 2. Store the image to Micro SD/TF card with RAW format.
//3. You can change the resolution by change the "resolution = OV5642_640x480"
// This program requires the ArduCAM V4.0.0 (or above) library and ArduCAM shield V2
// and use Arduino IDE 1.6.8 compiler or above
#include <Wire.h>
#include <ArduCAM.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>
// #include "memorysaver.h"
//This demo can only work on OV5640_MINI_5MP_PLUS or OV5642_MINI_5MP_PLUS platform.
#if !(defined (OV5642_MINI_5MP_PLUS))
#error Please select the hardware platform and camera module in the ../libraries/ArduCAM/memorysaver.h file
#endif
#define   FRAMES_NUM    0x00
// set pin 7 as the slave select for the digital pot:
const int CS = 7;

What do you mean about (as in the exposure values per pixel)?
