I would think it is not only shutter, but other mechanical parts of the camera - is the mirror considered part of the shutter? How about the aperture on the lens - is it wide open or does that get used as well.
One interesting thing would be to come up with an average number of frames now that you are into a bit of groove with this stacking which would help you determine how long the camera and/or lenses might last. Not a wearing out issue, but along the same lines, how much storage does it take? seems like you would have to continue to provide more disk space or some archiving concept as well. For the rest us, the results you are getting are amazing! -- Bruce On July 29, 2015 2:59:29 PM PDT, Mark C <[email protected]> wrote: >Thanks. I've been wondering about shutter activations.
