MCDODO Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 12MP IMX708 75° Autofocus 15-22pin FFC Cable

Camera module for Raspberry Pi boards

This MCDODO camera module uses the IMX708 sensor to capture 12 megapixel still images at up to 4608 x 2592 resolution. It is designed for Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, 3B, Zero W and Zero 2 W single-board computers. The 75 degree field of view suits general-purpose vision projects. Autofocus combines phase-detection and contrast-detection for sharp results.

15 to 22 pin FFC cable and mounting

The module ships with a flexible flat cable that bridges 15-pin and 22-pin CSI connectors across different Raspberry Pi models. This cable choice determines which board revisions can be used without an adapter. Physical mounting follows the standard Pi camera footprint, so existing enclosures and brackets remain compatible. No additional interconnect hardware is required for supported boards.

CSI-2 interface limits and configuration

Video and still data travel over a CSI-2 serial link with two-wire serial control, which caps bandwidth to the interface specification used by the Pi SoC. The sensor supports HDR capture, but the host must be configured correctly; this module requires changes to the standard libcamera or Picamera2 configuration before it will operate. Buyers who need a drop-in replacement for the official Camera Module 3 without configuration edits should verify compatibility first.
