Can iPhone 15pro flashlight damage c80 sensor?

Hi somewhat of an odd question. I recently borrowed my friends C80 and as I was focusing it with a 35mm lens, I focused the camera on an iphone 15pro flashlight for a couple minutes. Now I'm a bit paranoid that I may have damaged the sensor. Is pointing and focusing a camera at an iPhone 15pro flashlight okay? Thank you!

Do you have any reason to think that the sensor is damaged?  If not, why worry?

I think you're pretty safe here.  A flashlight just isn't that powerful, even focussed.  Pointing your camera at the Sun is certainly a potential problem, but a flashlight is millions of times dimmer than that.  So, I would guess that you're fine.
