Safety first: Never look directly at the sun through your smartphone camera or with your naked eyes during the eclipse as it can cause permanent eye damage.
Mark Madere prepares for the April 8 solar eclipse in his back yard in North Ridgeville by conducting test shots with cameras he’ll be using on “Eclipse Day.” A local photographer has been practicing different methods to capture the eclipse safety with smartphones and believes he’s mastered the new technology.Madere said he has been a fan of photography since he was in the 10th grade.“I was fascinated by that,” he said.
Madere said safety first: Never look directly at the sun through your smartphone camera or with your naked eyes during the eclipse as it can cause permanent eye damage. “If you decide to use your solar eclipse glasses with an ISO rating of 12312-2-2015, be sure the filter covers all the lenses of your smartphone to protect your camera’s sensor,” Madere said. “I did some test photos with my old Galaxy S10 phone with this method and it worked perfectly.
Madere cautions against using the phone’s optical zoom option, and if the phone has a “Shoot RAW” mode, he recommends using it for better post-processing flexibility.
