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).

¹ Excluding early Raspberry Pi Zero models, which lack the necessary FPC connector. Later Raspberry Pi Zero models require an adapter FPC, sold separately.
