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 both photos and video!

The new Camera Module 3 is available with a wide-angle 120° (The Standard Camera Is 75º), giving you more options for your specific project needs. As with the previous generation, we also have an infrared-sensitive NoIR version available for night photography.

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.

 

Compatibility (Important!)

Accessories

  1. 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

  1. The Camera Module 3 can only be used with libcamera - the previous raspistill/raspivid libraries will not work
  2. You will need to update Raspberry Pi OS as the Camera Module 3 requires a new driver and a specific version of libcamera

Boards

  1. The Camera Module 3 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi boards with a camera connector (CSI connector)

  2. To use this camera with a Raspberry Pi Zero (which has a smaller connector), you will need to use an adapter cable
