Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera equips a 1.5-megapixel Sony IMX296 sensor, integrated specialized global shutter technology, bringing high-level accurate imaging in the presence of rapid motion. It offers high light sensitivity for fast-motion photography.

The camera features a large pixel size of 3.45μm × 3.45μm, enabling short exposure times as low as 30μs with adequate lighting, which is advantageous for high-speed photography.

It also includes a 1.6MP Sony IMX296 sensor, with a C/CS-mount lens assembly, allowing it to use various lenses. The IMX296 sensor has a lower resolution similarly sized rolling shutter sensor which is more appropriate for machine vision applications where real-time processing of high-resolution images is challenging. That is, with proper lens magnification, the Global Shutter Camera can natively capture images suitable for machine vision model processing.

This camera sensor is designed with Raspberry Pi quality and is suitable for sports photography and industrial machine vision. It is ideal for machine vision applications where even minor distortions can significantly impair inference performance.

What is global shutter?

Global shutters enable cameras to read the whole sensor in one go, i.e. reading the sensor all at once. They are beneficial for video if you want to film in high-speed environments. Integrated global shutter and high-quality camera sensor, this camera will present high-level accurate imaging in rapid motion, suitable for sports photography and industrial machine vision.
