Overview
The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly contains the same sensor and
autofocus functionalities as Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 AF (autofocus), enabling
you to integrate the features of Camera Module 3 into a more diverse range of form
factors. This assembly provides a low-cost way to add imaging capability to smaller
devices, reducing manufacturing complexity and time to market.
As with Camera Module 3, the sensor assembly’s operation is fully supported by the
libcamera library and the libcamera-based Picamera2 and rpicam-apps libraries,
including its rapid autofocus feature; this provides a robust software environment to
support the development of advanced features while making essential functionality
simple to provide.
