Raspberry Pi has released Camera Module 3, a new generation camera module based on Sony’s IMX708 sensor and priced at $25 (about RMB170).
Camera Module 3 brings support for HDR and autofocus, with the closest focus distance of 5 cm, as well as support for phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and contrast detection autofocus.

HDR support means Camera Module 3 can take multiple exposures of the same scene and combine them so that both the darker and brighter parts of the image are properly exposed.
The Camera Module 3 starts at $25 (currently about RMB 170) for the standard FOV and $35 (currently about RMB 237) for the ultra-wide angle version with a 102-degree FOV. The Raspberry Pi is also available in an infrared version designed for night photography.
