# This open-source camera turns your Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W into an 80s-styled delight

**[XDA Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

The Saturnix, an open-source retro-futuristic camera built on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, has reached full release. The creator spent four months adding features including a Dynamic Mode that captures frames in ~0.02 seconds with burst support (3/5/10/20 frames), improved battery monitoring with 5% auto-shutdown to protect the SD card, a self-timer, photo metadata tagging, and intentionally overdesigned visuals. All firmware, 3D print files, and an assembly manual are available on GitHub for anyone to build their own.
