Included in the Package:

• 1x Raspberry Pi 5MP Camera

• 1x Ribbon Cable

NOTE: If a Raspberry Pi Zero is being used, select the RPi Zero from the dropdown menu below. If a longer cable is desired, select the standard cable with a longer length (only available for RPi 2,3,4; not Zero).

The Raspberry Pi camera is 5 megapixels in resolution and is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi 2B, 3, 3B, 3B+, and 4. It also works with the Zero and Zero W (with the correct ribbon cable). The picamera has a dedicated Python library that allows users to control the camera and take photos and record video. The library also allows users to control the white balance, shutter, and read each RGB pixel directly from the camera.
