Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows if the sensor movement that is used for the automatic cleaning in DSLRs can be controlled, that is, if the sensor can be moved arbitrarily through ML. If so, in what directions does the sensor move? Which of x, y, or z is that? Is anything known about the amplitude?
What I'm aiming at is the following: Some non-Canon cameras that realise image stabilisation by moving the sensor (rather than the lenses) have an astronomy mode. There, after calibrating position and orientation, the sensor is moved to compensate the earth"s rotation which allows for photos of ~1min without any star trails. Would something like be possible by hijacking the cleaning mode?
cheers, lukas
