Hi guys,
perhaps this is not really a specific ML-forum-question... but you are Canon experts, and I'm worried:
Yesterday I shooted a very nice sunset (actually the sun was still high, let say late afternoon) and I wanted the sun in frame. Obviously zebra clipped on the little sun disc even with the ND filter and ISO 100, but anyway I decided to try Dual-ISO (100/800). After about 60 minus of shooting, I remembered that Canon manual says "no direct sun in frame"... and in many websites people say that direct sun light melts the sensor...
I'm stupid, I know. Now I'm worried I have damaged the sensor.
My question: with dead pixel method (
THIS) is possible to understand if sensor is damaged? Or the damage could "behave" in other ways? Is it better to go to Canon service for a check?
This is my set during the session:
5D3, time 1/33, Dual-ISO 100/800 (zebra on sun even at 100), Tamron 24-70 (at 70), f/22 (2.8 only to focus) Hoya UV filter or Hoya ND filter (alternately), about 60' with liveview.
Thanks everyone in advance.
