    Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3

    Manufacturer: Raspberry Pi
    The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is the latest entry in the Official Raspberry Pi range of camera modules, offering a new 12 Megapixel Sony IMX708 image sensor, powered autofocus, improved low-light sensitivity and HDR (High Dynamic Range) support for your Raspberry Pi projects!

    The module is capable of 4608x2592 pixel images and 4608x2592 @14 FPS/2304x1296 @56 FPS/1536x864 @120FPS video. When HDR is enabled, the resolution is limited to 2304x1296 @ 30 FPS.

    Accessories
  • The Camera Module 3 is mechanically identical to the previous Camera Module V2 apart from the front sensor section. The new sensor is larger and may not fit all previous camera accessories. We have updated all of our camera accessories with compatibility information in the descriptions.

  • Software
  • The Camera Module 3 can only be used with libcamera - the previous raspistill/raspivid libraries will not work
  • You will need to update Raspberry Pi OS as the Camera Module 3 requires a new driver and a specific version of libcamera
  • Boards
  • The Camera Module 3 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi boards with a full-size camera connector (CSI connector)
  • -- To use this camera with a Raspberry Pi 5 (which has a smaller CSI connector), you will need to use a Raspberry Pi 5 camera adapter cable
    -- To use this camera with a Raspberry Pi Zero (which has a smaller CSI connector), you will need to use an adapter cable

    Features
  • Back-illuminated and stacked CMOS 12-megapixel image sensor (Sony IMX708)
  • High signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
  • Built-in 2D Dynamic Defect Pixel Correction (DPC)
  • Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) for rapid autofocus
