Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 NoIR

Description

The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 NoIR is the latest entry in the Official Raspberry Pi range of camera modules, offering a new 12 Megapixel Sony IMX708 image sensor, powered autofocus, improved low-light sensitivity and HDR (High Dynamic Range) support for your Raspberry Pi projects!

This NoIR version is infrared-sensitive with no InfraRed (NoIR) filter on the lens, which makes it perfect for shooting Infrared photography and taking pictures/video in low light (twilight) environments. For night photography, you’ll need to flood the target with infrared light.

The new Camera Module 3 is available with a standard 75° or wide-angle 120° lens (select version before adding to cart), giving you more options for your specific project needs. We also have a standard version which is better suited for daylight photography.

The module is capable of 4608×2592 pixel images and 4608×2592 @14 FPS/2304×1296 @56 FPS/1536×864 @120FPS video. When HDR is enabled, the resolution is limited to 2304×1296 @ 30 FPS.

Compatibility (Important!)

Accessories

  • The Camera Module 3 is mechanically identical to the previous Camera Module V2 apart from the front sensor section. The new sensor is larger and may not fit all previous camera accessories
  • We are in the process of updating each camera accessory in the store to indicate compatibility within the product descriptions

Software

  • The Camera Module 3 can only be used with libcamera – the previous raspistill/raspivid libraries will not work
  • You will need to update Raspberry Pi OS as the Camera Module 3 requires a new driver and a specific version of libcamera

Boards

  • The Camera Module 3 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi boards with a full-size camera connector (CSI connector)
