Please ensure that your Raspberry Pi OS is up to date by following the official Raspberry Pi guide - a recent update contains the new libraries necessary for the new camera modules.
Note that Buster and previous Pi OS (Raspbian) do not support the new Raspberry Pi cameras.
With a large pixel size of 3.45 m × 3.45 m providing high light sensitivity, the Global Shutter Camera can operate with short exposure times (as low as 30s with adequate lighting), an advantage for high-speed photography.
It features a 1.6MP Sony IMX296 sensor, and it has the same C/CS-mount lens assembly as the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, for compatibility with the same broad variety of lenses. In common with other global shutter sensors, the IMX296 has a lower resolution than similarly sized rolling shutter sensors; a low pixel count is appropriate for machine vision applications, where high-resolution images are challenging to process in real time. The Global Shutter Camera's lower resolution means that with appropriate lens magnification, an image suitable for processing by a machine vision model can be captured natively.
The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera includes a C- to CS-mount adapter, a screwdriver, and a 150mm ribbon cable, as well as a removable plastic back cover for protection. It is compatible with any Raspberry Pi computer that has a CSI connector.
