Sometimes I have a strong desire to include the Sun into the composition of a picture. But I am often nervous to do so since I have heard that a bright sun can burn the image sensor, the shutter, and even the eye if you look though the VF. It is usually said that if the Sun is safe to your naked eye, then it is safe to the camera. Any more opinions than that? If the sun is brighter than the level that is safe to a naked eye, is it still possible to include it in the captutured picture?

 

Best regards,

Frank

 

PS: Looking though the internet I find the following interesting article which talks about the exposure but not the safty problem when shooting into the Sun: http://www.sekonic.com/whatisyourspecial...e-sun.aspx
