Raspberry Pi Official Camera Module 3 NoIR Wide Version Build-In 12M Pixel Sony IMX708 Image Sensor Module [SC0875]

Raspberry Pi Official Camera Module 3 NoIR Wide Version Build-In 12M Pixel Sony IMX708 Image Sensor Module

Capture high-quality images and videos with your Raspberry Pi. Connect this official camera to your Pi's dedicated camera port.

The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is the latest entry in the mainstream RPi camera line-up, and the successor to the popular Camera Module 2. Built around a 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 image sensor module, Camera Module 3 offers a few key enhancements over its predecessor. Improved low-light sensitivity makes for better photos and output in situations where there's not a lot of light. The module also features powered autofocus making it easier to get a sharp picture output. Finally the Camera Module 3 features High Dynamic Range (HDR) support expanding the range of color and contrast in the output.

Not just for stills
Camera Module 3 can record full HD video at 50fps, with higher frame rates available at lower resolutions. Featuring an HDR mode and autofocus, it not only provides great stills quality, but is also a fantastic tool for video recording and streaming. Watch our video filmed entirely on Camera Module 3 to see it in action.
