In sunrise/sunset cases, is the intensity of the sun low enough so that this is not dangerous? Hi Kristen, It's not a stupid question at all. Personally, I'd be more worried about damage to your eye than the camera. Thinking how camera's are built technically, I can't see a problem with it as long as mirror lockup isn't being used. ie there is a mirror between the sun and the camera sensor. Having said that, in any case, I wouldn't recommend leaving it for long periods pointing directly at the sun and getting overheated either. Kind Regards. Tanya.
