Q&A: Shoot video of solar eclipse damage camera?

by NASA Goddard Photo and Video
Question by : Shoot video of solar eclipse damage camera?
As some of you may know, there is a solar eclipse today and I would like to shoot it with my Canon T2i. I am going to use a zoom lens and UV filter. I see people shoot video of the sun all of the time and there is no problems, but some websites say it will damage the camera.

How long can I shoot video of the sun before it will begin to possibly damage the camera?
Edit: And not just taking a picture, shooting a full length video of it.


Best answer:
Answer by jester126It shouldn't damage your camera but I would say once you take the picture take it away from the sun right after.

Solar eclipse as seen from the southern coast of Turkey on March 29, 2006. Ian's contraption consisted of a motorized EQ-1 equatorial mount by Orion and 0 Panasonic GS-29 camcorder (with a 30x optical zoom!). Constant shutter speed of 1/60th second used with the exposure changed by varying the aperture.
