Is it okay to shoot into the sun (eg. sunset)?
by Vic Noseworthy on Jun 16, 2012 at 6:35:47 pm

Hi folks,
I've read that you are not supposed to point your video camera at bright light, especially the sun, for fear that it will damage the sensor. Yet, I am always seeing beautiful sunsets, etc., on YouTube that have been shot with small camcorders. What's the deal? Can I shoot sunsets with my camera or not?
Thanks very much for your expertise.
Vic
