NASA Cautions Smartphone Users: Use Caution When Photographing Solar Eclipse
- NASA warns not to point smartphone cameras directly at the sun during the eclipse, as it can damage the camera sensor
- Using magnifying lens attachments is especially dangerous without proper solar filters
- Hold eclipse glasses in front of your smartphone camera when photographing the sun, except during totality
- Use a tripod and delayed shutter release to get clear eclipse photos without touching the camera
- Look around at the eerie lighting and shadows during the eclipse, not just at the sun itself
