Description:
The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is a specialized 1.6-megapixel camera built by Raspberry Pi for just that! Unlike standard cameras, it eliminates the distortion and artefacts that usually plague fast-moving subjects, delivering smooth, accurate images even in dynamic scenes.
It's ideally designed for demanding tasks such as high-speed sports photography or crucial machine vision setups, particularly when even minimal image distortion could lead to major performance issues. Get the reliable, accurate visual data your project depends on.
Important for Raspberry Pi 5 users: To connect this camera to your Pi 5, you'll need to pick up this adapter cable.
Important for Raspberry Pi Zero users: To connect this camera to your Pi Zero, you'll need to pick up this adapter cable.
The Global Shutter Camera's generous 3.45μm × 3.45μm pixel size delivers outstanding light sensitivity, allowing for ultra-short exposures (as fast as 30μs in adequate light) – critical for high-speed Raspberry Pi photography. It's powered by the reliable 1.6MP Sony IMX296 sensor, and just like the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, it features the familiar C/CS-mount lens assembly and tripod mount. This ensures seamless compatibility with a wide array of lenses and accessories, letting you truly customise your vision setup.
