I can't find this number anywhere, e.g. with the camera mounted to a surface how high is the center of the sensor? I'm 3d printing a custom mount that holds the lens towards the front to keep the camera super steady for doing macro photography in a public space where the table might get bumped mid shoot.
I'm worried I might have bent something too with my first design test, hopefully just the ef-rf adapter and not my R10 or EF100mm. What's the best way to test at home if my camera/lens are calibrated/aligned perfectly?
Also, does the fact my EF100mm have IS mean my effort to make my macro mount rigid is a lost cause because of a floating element? I'm taking a burst of photos as the light moves and don't want to use IS as it makes the subject move around slightly.
I shoot with electronic shutter to avoid shutter shock and because my process takes so many photos, I'd wear out the shutter too quickly but was hoping to use the hot shoe as a signal to my lights that the camera had captured an image instead of just relying on timing. They're not flashes, but programmable LEDs with an Arduino, but the R10 doesn't support using a flash in ES mode, so the center pin doesn't short to the shoe to trigger a flash. What about the other pins though, could I get some signal from them? The lights system knowing each time the camera takes a photo would cure a lot of my headaches, like allowing me to use Av mode but still get consistent animations from the process. Thanks.
