The Camera Module 3 also supports HDR.
. Its upgraded Sony IMX708 sensor is higher resolution, but perhaps more important is that the new module supports high dynamic range photography and autofocus. Alongside it, Raspberry Pi is also releasing a new camera board for use with M12-mount lenses.
Combined, the new features mean the Camera Module 3 should be able to take more detailed photographs , and can focus on objects as little as 5cm away. The autofocus uses a Phase Detection Autofocus system, with Contrast Detection Autofocus used as a backup. In contrast, previous versions of the camera module had fixed-focus lenses, which Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton writes were “optimized to focus at infinity” and could only take a “reasonably sharp image” of objects around a meter away.
Prices start at $25 for the Camera Module 3 with a standard field-of-view, while the ultra-wide angle version with a 102-degree field of view is $35. There are also infrared-sensitive modules designed for night photography. If you want a Raspberry Pi that can take photos using a more traditional interchangeable lens, then the company is also announcing a new version of itsthat supports M12-mount lenses. It still has the same 12.3-megapixel Sony IMX477 sensor, but the module now supports the “fisheye and other specialist lenses” that are designed to work in M12 systems.
