An 8 MP camera module for the Raspberry Pi 5, built around the Sony IMX219 sensor. It connects via the MIPI CSI 4-lane interface for higher frame rates than traditional 2-lane modules, delivering sharp 3280 × 2464 still images and smooth video up to 1080p at ~47 fps. The 79.3° field of view with less than 1% distortion makes it well-suited for close-range inspection, object detection, and general-purpose imaging.

The module uses a 22-pin FPC cable (included) and is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5's CSI connector. It works with libcamera out of the box on recent Raspberry Pi OS releases.
