Can Digital camera LENS be affected by direct exposure to SUN rays?
i accidentaly exposed my digital camera lens (Sony DSC-H5) to direct sun rays for a second or 2 on the worst case.. ..
will this affect the quality and performance of the camera?
i just noticed that in the finder lcd any source of light produce virtical blue -or magenta- lines.. but when i capture the image it is clear from any lines.. is this normal?
Direct sunlight will not hurt the lens, but it can be harmful to the image sensor of your camera. Sunlight can be magnified by the lens and damage the individual image cells on the surface of the sensor. This is usually more of an issue if the sensor is subject to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially any camera with a live preview [most point and shoot digital cameras]. I would imagine your camera is fine, just don't do what you did too many times. Your lens is fine.
