Overview

The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera is an affordable high-quality camera from

Raspberry Pi. It offers 12-megapixel resolution and a 7.9mm-diagonal sensor for

impressive low-light performance. The M12 Mount variant is designed to work with

most interchangeable M12 lenses, and the CS Mount variant is designed to work with

interchangeable lenses in both CS- and C-mount form factors (C-mount lenses require

the use of the C-CS adapter included with this variant). Other lens form factors can be

accommodated using third-party lens adapters.

The High Quality Camera is well suited to industrial and consumer applications,

including security cameras, which require the highest levels of visual fidelity and/

or integration with specialist optics. It is compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi

computer from Raspberry Pi 1 Model B onwards, using the latest software release from

raspberrypi.com.1

The package comprises a circuit board carrying a Sony IMX477 sensor, an FPC cable

for connection to a Raspberry Pi computer, and a milled aluminium lens mount with

integrated tripod mount. The CS Mount variant lens mount features a focus adjustment

ring, and this variant ships with a C- to CS-mount adapter; the M12 Mount variant ships

with three lens locking rings (one required plus two spare).
