Sun Filter
How does the sun ruin a camera lens?
I am curious as to why you are not suppose to point a camera (slr) at the sun. It is supposed to ruin your lens, buy why? If you have a UV filter, does it still ruin it? Are there any ways to take pictures of the sun without ruining the lens? Thanks
As suggested it’s the shutter that’s vunerable not so much the lens, even if the concentrated sun light does not actually burn a hole in the shutter the excessive heat can warp the mechanics of the shutter causing it not to operate properly.
Can the heat build up affect IS mechanisms too…I imagine so….regardless, it’s best to take care of your equipment. It’s why I have a lens cap tether on each of my lenses.
