Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Standard - 12MP Autofocus

The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 features a 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 sensor with a 75-degree lens, providing a balanced field of view for capturing high-quality images and videos. This compact camera is ideal for general photography, video streaming, and a wide range of applications where clear, sharp visuals are required.

Supporting HDR mode with up to 3-megapixel output, this camera can capture full HD video and high-resolution still images. The phase detection autofocus ensures quick and accurate focusing, making it suitable for various lighting conditions. Fully supported by the libcamera library, the Camera Module 3 integrates seamlessly into Raspberry Pi projects, making it easy for both beginners and advanced users.

The Camera Module 3 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers and maintains the same PCB size and mounting holes as previous versions. With enhanced optics and a 75-degree field of view, it's a perfect out-of-the-box solution for general-purpose photography and video capture.

Comes with a 200mm long flexible cable for connecting to a Raspberry Pi computer; if it's too short/long, we have a range of Raspberry Pi Camera Cables in various lengths you can use here.

To use with a Pi Zero, you will need an adapter cable, which we stock here!
