Actually it won't detect any CCD while the mirror is down so it will attack LiveView and P&S only or plainly speaking any camera with the sensor exposed.
I wonder though if his system is fast enough to home in on the sensor of a DSLR shooting a single frame - detect and attack would all have to happen while the mirror is up. So this is actually where the danger comes in - if the system fires too late your mirror will be down again and your eye will catch the ray... I have no idea how this could possibly be legal but then russian nouveau riche billionaires are probably not among the moral elite anyway Cheers Ecke 2009/9/24 Feroze <[email protected]>: > http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/09/russian-billionaire-installs-anti-photo-shield-on-giant-yacht/ > > > ...Ambramovich has installed an anti-paparazzi “shield”.
