Built around a 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 image sensor module, Camera Module 3 offers the following key enhancements over the Sony IMX219 8-megapixel-based Camera Module 2 (Camera v.2): Improved low light sensitivity. High dynamic range (HDR) support. Powered autofocus. Camera Module 3 is available in visible light only and infrared sensitive ( NoIR ) variants and with either a standard (75°°) or wide-angle (120 °°) Lens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is a compact camera from Raspberry Pi. It offers anIMX708 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.Camera Module 3 can be used to take full HD video as well as stills photographs,and features an HDR mode up to 3 megapixels. Its operation is fully supported by thelibcamera library, including Camera Module 3’s rapid autofocus feature: this makes iteasy for beginners to use, while offering plenty for advanced users. Camera Module 3 iscompatible with all Raspberry Pi computers. The PCB size and mounting holes remain the same as for Camera Module. The Z dimension differs: due to the improved optics, Camera Module 3 is severalmillimeters taller than Camera Module 2. All variants of Camera Module 3 feature:• Back-illuminated and stacked CMOS 12-megapixel image sensor (Sony IMX708)• High signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)• Built-in 2D Dynamic Defect Pixel Correction (DPC)• Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) for rapid autofocus• QBC Re-mosaic function• HDR mode (up to 3 megapixel output)• CSI-2 serial data output• 2-wire serial communication (supports I2C fast mode and fast-mode plus)• 2-wire serial control of focus mechanism Specifications: Sensor: Sony IMX708Resolution: 11.9 megapixelsSensor size: 7.4mm sensor diagonalPixel size: 1.4μm × 1.4μmHorizontal/vertical: 4608 × 2592 pixelsCommon video modes: 1080p50, 720p100, 480p120Output: RAW10IR cut filter: Integrated in standard variants; not present in NoIR variantsAutofocus system: Phase Detection AutofocusDimensions: 25 × 24 × 11.5mm (12.4mm height for Wide variants)Ribbon cable length: 200mmCable connector: 15 × 1mm FPCCompliance: FCC 47 CFR Part 15, Subpart B, Class B Digital DeviceElectromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC) 2014/30/EURestriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive2011/65/EUProduction lifetime: Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 will remain in production untilat least January 2030 See full product brief here
