The ''Clementine'' High-Resolution Camera consisted of a telescope with an image intensifier and a frame-transfer [[Charge-coupled device|CCD]] imager. The imaging system was designed to study selected portions of the surfaces of the Moon and the near-Earth asteroid 1620 Geographos, although the asteroid rendezvous was canceled due to a malfunction. This experiment allowed the detailed study of surface processes on the Moon and, combined with spectral data, allowed high-resolution compositional and geologic studies.

The imager was an intensified Thompson CCD camera with a six position filter wheel. The set of filters consisted of a broad-band filter with a bandpass of 400 to 800&nbsp;nm, four narrow-band filters with center wavelengths (and bandpass width (FWHM)) of 415&nbsp;nm (40&nbsp;nm), 560&nbsp;nm (10&nbsp;nm), 650&nbsp;nm (10&nbsp;nm), and 750&nbsp;nm (20&nbsp;nm), and 1 opaque cover to protect the image intensifier. The field of view was 0.3 x 0.4 degrees, translating to a width of about 2&nbsp;km at a nominal lunar altitude of 400&nbsp;km. The image array is 288 × 384 pixels, (pixel size of 23 × 23 micrometers) so the pixel resolution at the Moon was 7&ndash;20 m depending on the spacecraft altitude. (At Geographos the resolution would have been <5 m at closest approach.) The clear aperture was 131&nbsp;mm and the focal length was 1250&nbsp;mm. The nominal imaging rate was about 10 frames per second in individual image bursts covering all filters at the Moon. The high resolution and small field of view only allowed coverage of selected areas of the Moon, in the form of either long, narrow strips of a single color or shorter strips of up to four colors. The instrument has a signal to noise ratio of 13 to 41 depending on the albedo and phase angle, with a 1% relative calibration and a 20% absolute calibration, and a dynamic range of 2000.

The telescope of the High-Resolution Camera was shared by the LIDAR instrument. The 1064&nbsp;nm laser return was split to the LIDAR receiver (an avalanche photodiode detector) using a dichroic filter.

Imagery from the HIRES can be viewed in [[NASA World Wind]] software.
