The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is offered in four different variants: visible-light and infrared-sensitive, in either standard or wide field of view (FoV). All use Sony&#8217;s back-illuminated IMX708 sensor and produce 12-megapixel images (4,608 x 2,592 resolution with 1.40\u03bcm pixels). <\/p>\n<p>The original Camera Module launched in 2013 as Raspberry Pi&#8217;s first official accessory and was followed by a NoIR infrared-sensitive variant later that year. The Camera Module 2, built around Sony&#8217;s eight megapixel IMX219, dropped in 2016 and has served the community ever since. More than two million units of the Camera Module 2 have been sold to date.<\/p>\n<p>The standard-FoV cameras provide a 66-degree field of view while the wide-FoV checks in at 102 degrees.<\/p>\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen frameborder=\"0\" height=\"390\" src width=\"560\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KPq_6Do24XA?rel=0&#038;showinfo=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;vq=hd720&#038;autohide=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The camera module features powered autofocus that can focus on objects from around 5cm out to infinity. It primarily relies on phase detection autofocus but will fall back to Pi&#8217;s contrast detection algorithm if a high-confidence phase detection autofocus result is not available. All previous Raspberry Pi cameras had fixed-focus optics with a static set of lenses optimized to focus at infinity.<\/p>\n<p>As Raspberry Pi founder Ebon Upton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.com\/news\/new-autofocus-camera-modules\/\">notes<\/a>, phase detection allows the autofocus algorithm to run continuously when capturing video to maintain focus as the target in the scene and \/ or the shooter move.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.techspot.com\/images2\/news\/bigimage\/2023\/01\/2023-01-09-image-15-j_500.webp 500w, https:\/\/static.techspot.com\/images2\/news\/bigimage\/2023\/01\/2023-01-09-image-15-j_1100.webp 1100w, https:\/\/static.techspot.com\/images2\/news\/bigimage\/2023\/01\/2023-01-09-image-15-j.webp 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 680px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1536\" alt src=\"https:\/\/static.techspot.com\/images2\/news\/bigimage\/2023\/01\/2023-01-09-image-15.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.techspot.com\/images2\/news\/bigimage\/2023\/01\/2023-01-09-image-15-j_500.webp 500w, https:\/\/static.techspot.com\/images2\/news\/bigimage\/2023\/01\/2023-01-09-image-15-j_1100.webp 1100w, https:\/\/static.techspot.com\/images2\/news\/bigimage\/2023\/01\/2023-01-09-image-15-j.webp 1536w\"  ><\/picture><\/p>\n<p>The new camera module also supports high dynamic range imaging, which involves capturing simultaneous photos with different exposure times and blending them together into a single photo that correctly exposes light and dark regions. The resulting image is a quarter of the resolution of a non-HDR shot, Upton said, but in some situations, the sacrifice is worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Raspberry Pi was able to stick with the $25 price point for the standard-FoV variants; the wide-FoV models feature a more complex and expensive optical stack and thus command $35.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.com\/products\/camera-module-3\/\">Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3<\/a> is available now from a variety of approved resellers.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/97212-raspberry-pi-new-12mp-camera-module-gets-autofocus.html\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Clora Mayoral<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a nutshell: Raspberry Pi has launched a new series of autofocus camera models for its popular single-board computers.
