Description:

The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 2 can be used to take high-definition video, as well as still photographs. Its easy to use for beginners, but it has plenty to offer advanced users if youre looking to expand your knowledge. There are lots of examples online of people using it for time-lapse, slow-motion, and other video cleverness. You can also use the libraries we bundle with the camera to create effects.

RPi Camera Module 2, you can read all the gory details about IMX219 and the Exmor R back-illuminated sensor architecture on Sonys website, but suffice to say this is more than just a resolution upgrade: its a leap forward in image quality, colour fidelity, and low-light performance. It supports 1080p30, 720p60 and VGA90 video modes, as well as still capture. It attaches via a 15cm ribbon cable to the CSI port on the Raspberry Pi.

The Camera Module works with all models of Raspberry Pi 1, 2, 3 and 4. It can be accessed through the MMAL and V4L APIs, and there are numerous third-party libraries built for it, including the Picamera Python library. See the Getting Started with Picamera resource to learn how to use it.

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W comes with a built-in camera port, allowing you to connect an official Raspberry Pi camera using the new Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Adapter. Similarly, if you’re using a Raspberry Pi 5, a specific adapter cable is required for camera connectivity, which you can find here.
