The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is the latest entry in the mainstream RPi camera line-up, and the successor to the popular Camera Module 2. Built around a 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 image sensor module, Camera Module 3 offers a few key enhancements over its predecessor.

Improved low-light sensitivity makes for better photos and output in situations where there's not a lot of light. The module also features powered autofocus making it easier to get a sharp picture output. Finally the Camera Module 3 features High Dynamic Range (HDR) support expanding the range of color and contrast in the output.

Camera Module 3 is available in standard lens (76° field of view) and wide-angle lens (120° field of view) variants, both of which are available with or without an infrared cut filter.

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 millimetres taller than Camera Module 2.

 

The Camera Module 3 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi boards with a full-size camera connector (CSI connector) such as Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 models

  • To use this camera with a Raspberry Pi 5 (which has a smaller CSI connector), you will need to use a Raspberry Pi 5 camera adapter cable. The standard and standard wide cameras come with both the standard and Pi 5 adapter cables in the box! NoIR and NoIR wide cameras comes with only standard adapter cable.
  • To use this camera with a Raspberry Pi Zero (which has a smaller CSI connector), you will need to use an adapter cable


Features

  • Back-illuminated, stacked CMOS 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 image sensor
  • 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

A great addition to my Kindle library and a candidate to our Best Book Picks of 2025.
Format: Kindle
In setting the scene, Sangeet reminds us that, in the 1960s, Singapore was a struggling port city with limited natural resources and a rather tenuous future. It's hard to imagine but true. A strategic location in South East Asia. But such location meant little if it could not draw talent and capital to develop the infrastructure needed to grow, and here a deceptively simple and modular invention helped - the shipping container. Harvard Professor Carliss Y. Baldwin, in her book Design Rules, shared with us how technology shapes organisations, indeed entire industries and societal structures, and so, as we envision and put a technology to use, who decide how organisations are shaped, who governs them, and where power and agency lies.  Yet AI is not just any other technology. We are not in full control of the technology and its power to learn, re-shape itself, and its impact on the nature of work therefore extends well beyond the individual using AI tools. This is where Sangeet takes us, into a hugely relevant and timely discussion of how AI presents immense opportunities as well as grave risks to the knowledge economy, as we know it today. The questions raised are profound: among these... - How would power shift from the current ways of work we are accustomed to, towards autonomous networks that make decisions and learn on their own (and faster than us)? - Which organizational models best capture the shifts towards AI-supported value creation? and what path could such a transition follow? - How would these impact the opportunities and risks for collaboration, within and beyond the enterprise?  A whole chapter is dedicated to strategy, and deservedly so. AI in itself does not provide a competitive advantage. Let’s not rush to appoint a Chief AI Officers or draw-up a so-called AI-strategy, for what is essentially a set of widely distributed and accessible technologies. We need a business strategy that acknowledges the deep impacts AI is and will continue to make. Before we rush to layer AI on top of org. processes and models that have served us in previous generations, let’s take an ecosystem-wide view and ask - where are we now? What is fundamentally changing, and Where can we harness its trends towards an advantage? Having read Sangeet's book, my advice is this - seize the opportunity, invite others to the conversation and be open to new forms of power and control, as the organisations that win tomorrow are already experimenting in doing things differently today. A great addition to my Kindle library and a candidate to our Best Book Picks of 2025.
