Description
The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is a compact camera with a 12-megapixel IMX708 sensor that supports HDR and has phase detection autofocus. It comes in standard and wide-angle options and can be used for full HD video and still photos. The camera is beginner-friendly, thanks to its support from the libcamera library, and advanced users can take advantage of its rapid autofocus. It is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers and has the same PCB size and mounting holes as Camera Module 2, but is slightly taller due to improved optics.
For Developers
The Camera Module 3 leverages the Raspberry Pi Open Source Camera System, powered by libcamera, to give developers more control over image processing and deeper access to its internal features.
