THE OFFICIAL RASPBERRY PI CAMERA GUIDE
Welcome to
The Official Raspberry
Pi Camera Guide
One of the most popular add-ons for the Raspberry Pi, the ofcial Camera Module –
or the new High Quality Camera – turns your favourite single-board computer into
a powerful digital camera. Launched back in 2013, the original Camera Module was
succeeded by the higher-spec v2 in April 2016. The High Quality Camera was launched in April
2020, offers Ultra HD image resolution, and enables you to attach any C- or CS-mount lens.
In this book we’ll show you how to get started with your Raspberry Pi camera, taking photos
and videos from the command line and writing Python programs to automate the process.
We’ll reveal how to create time-lapse and slow-motion videos, before moving on to exciting
projects including a Minecraft photo booth, wildlife camera trap, and smart door with video.
There are just so many things you can do with a Raspberry Pi camera!
