The Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 is an 8 megapixel Sony IMX219 image sensor custom designed add-on board for Raspberry Pi, featuring a fixed focus lens.
It's capable of 3280 x 2464 pixel static images, and also supports 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 video.
It attaches to Pi by way of one of the small sockets on the board upper surface and uses the dedicated CSi interface, designed especially for interfacing to cameras.
- Fixed focus lens on-board
- 8 megapixel native resolution sensor-capable of 3280 x 2464 pixel static images
- Supports 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 video

The NoIR Camera has No InfraRed (NoIR) filter on the lens which makes it perfect for doing Infrared photography and taking pictures in low light (twilight) environments.
Please note: The included camera cable will only work with models of Pi that have a large CSI camera connector. If you're using it with a Raspberry Pi Zero, you may wish to consider the Pi Zero camera cable. If you're connecting it to a Raspberry Pi 5, you'll need a Pi 5 camera adapter cable.
