- 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).
