I wish my Sony DSLR has some open source firmware. I hate it has to use the Sony app to connect to the GPS on my phone. I hate that my phone sometimes put the app to sleep and I end up with no GPS info.
Canon cameras are the same for GPS data. Their app sucks and is barely functional that I don’t bother. Half of the time it would fail to connect or fail to transfer pictures from the camera to the phone. A USB-C to SD card adapter is 100% reliable. I hate technology sometimes.
I still don’t get why webcam LEDs aren’t just wired up to the same power circuit as the camera. Not only would it make it much more secure, but it would also be really simple, and eliminate the need for LED control firmware.
Because we live in bizarro world where a resistor is more expensive than a microcontroller, by a whole 0.0001¢ so 10,000 units they save a whole dollar. You can’t argue with prophet savings like that.
