Originally posted by Stone G. Wow, some truly great images in this thread recently.
Actually, there is a temperature sensor inside the camera. Not quite sure where it is measured but, anyway, you can see what that temperature was in Exiftool. Here's an example where I used the K-3 for prime-focus solar photography and where the temperature rose considerably above ambient temperature:
So, it could be very interesting, if weathermoon would take the trouble and give us insight in the camera temperatures at the beginning and at the end of his M83 session.
Interesting tool there Stone G! Ok I downloaded ExifTool - on the K3 it is showing 3 temperatures? Here it is at the beginning of the shoot:
Camera Temperature : 19 C
Camera Temperature 2 : 27.8 C
Camera Temperature 3 : 25.4 C
And at the end:
Camera Temperature : 16 C
Camera Temperature 2 : 21.4 C
Camera Temperature 3 : 21.3 C
The temperature outside was only about 10c by the end.. the sensor itself must have been getting quite hot as the last few frames were fairly orange.
