**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE09425 · **Brand:** [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/raspberry-pi-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-camera-3.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-camera-3.html.md))

Capture high-quality images and videos with your Raspberry Pi.

> ⚠ Note: For the camera to be used with a Raspberry Pi Zero this [adapter](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-zero-camera-adapter.html) is required

## Pricing

- **Price:** $48.50 (inc GST) — $44.09 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 177 today; more stock is typically available with a 5–11 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE09425:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE09425:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Capture high-quality images and videos with your [Raspberry Pi.](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi.html) Connect this official camera to your Pi's dedicated camera port, and follow [our easy getting-started guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi-bullseye-camera-commands/) to start capturing the world!

The improved camera module 3 boasts a 12MP sensor along with a high dynamic range mode, ultra-fast auto-focus, and a rich library of software commands to take control of your shot.

If you want to capture more check out the [Wide angle version](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-camera-v3-wide-angle.html), and if night vision is your thing have a look at the [NoIR Camera 3](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-camera-v3-noir.html) (also available with [a wide lens](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-camera-module-3-noir-wide.html))

### Installation

The included ribbon cable should connect to the CSI connector on your Pi (next to the HDMI ports), to connect to the Pi Zero you'll need a [Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Adapter](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-zero-camera-adapter.html).

**Notes:**

- The camera module 3 does not support the Legacy camera interface. [You will need to use the Libcamera commands](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi-bullseye-camera-commands/) as the Raspistill and Raspivid commands are no longer supported.
- The new V3 camera will require a firmware update to run if your version of Raspberry Pi OS is from before January 2023.
