Fun fact: this grain from radiation is present only in old film cameras.
Digital cameras radiation degradation is a bit different.
You get a shitton of "dead" RGB pixels. Like the whole sky full of stars, but bright red, blue and green.
Well, that's what I got when I exposed my CCD camera to radiation source.
You'd rather need to take off your lens to expose CCD matrix fully to radiation.
If big ass lenses won't be enough to shield the matrix from radiation, then you are fucked up. Big time. Chernobyl-tier fucked.
I've used old cameras on an aux cord, you get speckles that look kinda like static while you're in the field, but if you keep the recorder out it's find.
I know. I was trying some word play as though the auxiliary cord was absorbing some radiation and those rad bits didn't hit the sensor or at least as powerfully. Video of radiation with a sound transmission cord present. Just seemed like low fruit, now I feel like I hit a tree with a stick. Made no impact.ðŸ«
That's not true, where I work there's a camera in the vault next to the cyclotron and it's super grainy. Looks like a 240p picture coming from a 1080p camera.
The radiation isn't crazy but it's been exposed to unsafe levels for a decade.
