Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is a compact camera from Raspberry Pi. It offers an
IMX708 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 the
libcamera library, including Camera Module 3’s rapid autofocus feature: this makes it
easy for beginners to use, while offering plenty for advanced users. Camera Module 3 is
compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers.1

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.
