Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 - 12MP 120 Degree Wide Angle Lens
Description
Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is a compact camera from Raspberry Pi. It offers an IMX708 12-megapixel sensor with HDR, and features phase detection autofocus. Camera Module 3 is available in standard and wide-angle variants, both of which are available with or without an infrared cut filter.
Need a wider field of view than the standard 75 degrees? Camera Module 3 Wide features an ultra-wide 120 degree angle of view, meaning your Raspberry Pi can see more of the world. No additional lens is required to use this camera, it is ready-to-go as-is!
Camera Module 3 can be used to take full HD video as well as still photographs and features an HDR mode up to 3 megapixels. Its operation is fully supported by the libcamera library, including Camera Module 3’s rapid autofocus feature: this makes it easy for beginners to use, while offering plenty for advanced users. Camera Module 3 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers.
The PCB size and mounting holes remain the same as for Camera Module 2. The Z dimension differs: due to the improved optics, Camera Module 3 is several millimeters taller than Camera Module 2. That means you cannot use our cute camera case!
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!
To use with a Raspberry Pi 5, you will need this adapter cable! We have three length options here.
