Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera – 1.58MP, 60fps Global Shutter Module
The Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera is a compact camera module featuring a Sony IMX296 sensor with global shutter technology. Unlike rolling shutter cameras, it captures an entire frame simultaneously, eliminating distortion when photographing fast-moving objects. Ideal for machine vision, motion capture, and industrial inspection.

Compatibility
This camera connects directly to any Raspberry Pi with a 15-pin CSI connector, including Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 3, 2, and Zero models (a adapter cable may be required for Pi Zero). It works out-of-the-box with the latest Raspberry Pi OS using the libcamera stack. No additional drivers are needed.
Wiring Notes
Attach the included ribbon cable to the CSI port on your Raspberry Pi, ensuring the blue tab faces the Ethernet port. The camera draws power directly from the board; no external supply is required. For Pi Zero, use a narrower ribbon cable.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi 5?
Yes, the camera works with Raspberry Pi 5 using the standard 15-pin CSI connector. No adapter is needed; just connect the included ribbon cable.
Does the camera include a lens?
