15-pin ribbon cable

A 15 cm ribbon cable attached to the module slots straight into your Pi Camera Serial Interface port (CSI). Once connected, you can access the camera board via the Multi-Media Abstraction Layer (MMAL) or the Video for Linux (V4L) APIs. Alternatively there are libraries such as Picamera Python, and many others that you can find online.

The Raspberry Pi Camera Module is ideal for HD videos and still photography. You can also try time-lapse and slow-motion.
