Can I photograph a total solar eclipse with a digital camera?
I have found tons of information about using an SLR or basic “point and shoot” cameras but not much on using a very basic digital camera (not a DSLR). This may sound completely stupid but I don’t know much about this. Can I look at the eclipse using my view screen since you can’t look at a partial eclipse directly? Do I need a special filter so I don’t damage my camera? Any help and guidelines are greatly appreciated.
First of all, you must use some kind of protection for your camera when photographing a solar eclipse or else your CCD sensor will be damaged, or worse, it can potentially start a fire. Use dark film specially designed for viewing the sun or get a solar filter to view the sun. The cheapest of these solar filters cost $40. Also, do not expect to get a good picture with a basic digital camera. You will need telephoto zoom lens to take a good photo.
