What can't one do with a Raspberry pi!

I think the video is fake.
The camera shown in the video has no mirror lock up ability (I couldn’t find it in the manual) and only a B setting for long exposures witch requires holding the shutter pressed down.

I think he is holding the shutter down from around 2:40. He does not appear to be doing so around 4:10, but it would be easy to wedge the shutter open with something made from a cut-down cable release, and oddly enough, from about 4:20 when we might see such a thing, he obscures the view of the shutter button with his thumb on top if the prism housing. Is that deliberate, or only his eccentric way of holding a camera for a shot?
