Now that cameras have become data processing and storage devices with an image sensor and lens, someone with a sufficient knowledge of the inner workings of microprocessors and software can ‘hack’ cameras to make them function in ways never envisioned by the original manufacturer. Applied Color Science applauds the efforts of untold individuals who have been relentless in their pursuit of the digital ‘keys’ to many popular types of commercial cameras both high end and low, thereby unleashing the full potential of these products.
ACSi is also involved in commercial camera after-market ‘customization’, as shown by the following projects:
