Can direct sunlight do any harm.?

[SenseMonkey]

So this is another of my just wondering question; does or can direct sunlight do anything to display or camera.? The display i dont know,but im really curious about the camera cause my smartself once screwed up my sisters old point and shoot by pointing it at a glass surface that had the sunlight reflecting off it and the camera would just show a bright white picture at anything it was pointed at. So any feedback.?

Leaving any electronic device baking in the sun on the dashboard of your car is bad. More from the heat than from the light.

But this device is designed to be USED by humans, who go outside.

So sun does not bother it, and even taking a picture of the sun is no big deal. Not useful perhaps, but nothing to worry about. The sun appears in a lot of my shots with no harm.

Set your auto-brightness on, and this phone is easily seen in full sun, unlike any other phone I've seen.

The only thing the sun will do to the display is make it harder to see. As far as nuking the photo sensor in the camera I have no idea, but I would be more concerned about it torching the shutter. And I heard somewhere it could cause skin cancer over extended bouts of un protected exposure.

There is no shutter in a cell phone camera. These things are wide open all the time.

The lense groups, which travel up and down vertically, is parked in such a way that no hot image could form on the sensor.

I wouldn't stare at it too long.....the sun, not the phone.


Disclaimer: for kids or people with no brain, never look at the sun directly....like I did. Its getting dark awfully early these days come to think of it.

Turns out that was a myth too.
