Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Wide Angle – 12MP Autofocus

The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is a camera module designed as the successor to the Camera Module 2 for Raspberry Pi systems. It is built around a 12MP Sony IMX708 image sensor and introduces improved low-light sensitivity for more consistent image output in challenging lighting conditions. The module supports powered autofocus, enabling accurate focus across different subject distances. High Dynamic Range HDR support enhances color depth and contrast in captured images. This version features a wide-angle lens with a 120° field of view, making it suitable for vision systems, robotics, monitoring, and educational imaging projects.
