## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE04421:1` (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/CE04421:1.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

Snap pictures & video via your Raspberry Pi using this official camera module. It was specifically designed to connect and work with the Raspberry Pi too, so setup and use is a breeze.

- A high quality, 8-megapixel Sony IMX219 image sensor
- A fixed focus lens
- Capable of 3280 x 2464 pixel static images
- Supports 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p60/90 video capture
 
### Installation

It attaches to the Raspberry Pi via the CSI ribbon socket just near the HDMI connector on board. This module comes with a 150mm Flexible Ribbon Cable to connect with, but [longer and shorter ribbon cables are available.](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/camera.html)

To connect to the Pi Zero variants you will need the [Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Adapter](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-zero-camera-adapter.html). **Hint**: There is one included in [The Official Pi Zero Case](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-zero-w-case-enclosure-official.html).

If you need to see further information on setting up [the Camera for Raspberry Pi, read our guide.](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/say-cheese-with-raspberry-pi-camera/)

### Technical Details

The board itself is tiny, at around 25mm x 23mm x 9mm. It also weighs just over 3g, making it perfect for mobile or other applications where size and weight are important.
