At least with live view trying to line up the sensor shouldn't be too hard. I think to fit more camera models I would have the sensor frame on tether to the battery and other components so that it can be more freely moved to fit multiple camera bodies. Maybe adding a bit of foam so it is more snuggly pinched in place reducing internal sensor shake. Could I run digital switches to the body for programing controls. I feel a photographers first thoughts might be like how big a sensor can I throw on it and how wide of lenses would be needed to make up for this crop factor and how fast will my shutter speed need be with a shaking sensor. Extra interesting as he doesn't seem to be a photographer as he doesn't use the terminology or point out things a photographer would so his approach isn't hung up on those concerns which could maybe be resolved later. I built some electronics and modified some film cameras my self and appreciate his effort.
35MM FILM TO DIGITAL CONVERTER FOR CAMERA PROFESSIONAL
likely not for professional use but for a niche fun thing to do. Maybe, just maybe with refinement there could be a desirable product here. What do you think of this hack? Are you tempted to give this one a try? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.įun project. If you have some basic electronic skills or know someone who does, you could easily breathe new life into many cameras that haven't seen action for decades. Also worthy of note is that this DIY "digital film" is modeled around the standard 35mm film cartridge which means if you built one of these for yourself it could technically fit in any camera that also accommodates the same size film. While this creation is not going to replace your regular camera, I can see such a thing being a great addition to your camera bag when you want a certain look to your images or you just want to shoot with one of your older cameras without worrying about buying or developing film. Befinitiv talks about the ability to also record video and well as live stream thanks to the particular version of Raspberry PI being utilized.
The video goes on to show the camera in action and we see a few different scenarios of it being used to great effect. This crucially means that you don't have to modify your beloved antique cameras in any destructive way which would be a major deal-breaker for many of us. What I love about this particular incarnation of "digital film" is that all of the electronics fit neatly inside the camera body itself. Enter stage left Befinitiv who recently took it upon himself to build a custom film cartridge for his analog camera so it could act as a digital one.Īt the heart of this creation is a Raspberry PI Zero W with a camera module and battery. There have been several attempts in the past to merge these two worlds but nothing concrete has ever taken off. What if you could have the best of both worlds and use digital in your older film cameras?ĭigital and analog cameras have for the most part stayed on opposite sides of the track. The additional steps and costs involved with shooting on film often put many photographers off.
