      Always put eclipse glasses on your camera lens!

      It was a bit smaller, but the light kinda bloomed.

        I point my camera at the sun all the time, It’s not harming the sensor even without a shield. I don’t get it. You don’t have to be paranoid about having the sun in frame. Maybe with a telephoto lens, or a telescope, or if you’ve got a tripod set up and the sensor is exposed for a long time. Regular shots? Go ahead and take a picture of the sun or eclipse.

          I’ve seen issues with security cameras where constant exposure to the sun eventually makes the image look washed out.

          I just remember a manual for an old Kodak digital camera said avoid pointing it at the sun.
