why looking at welding is very dangerous for your eyes but a camera can film it just fine.

377 viewsOtherTechnology

Often on TV or YouTube when I watch videos where someone welds something the light produced by the welder, while bright, doesn’t even seem to overwhelm the camera. The point is bright, but the surrounding area is still visible by the viewer.

On the other hand it is very dangerous to look at welding as a bystander because it can very much blind you.

So, what’s up with the light sensors on camera’s? Is it not possible for them to burn out? Especially the large sensors of professional cameras should be quite sensitive to a bright light like that right? Or are there special thingamajigs that prevent that?
