RE: VENUS UPDATE
Depending on the focal length, a fraction of a second is enough to destroy the camera or your eye if you look through the viewfinder. Never work without special filters and be very careful. Better the camera is broken than your eye.
As Kevin says, point the camera at the sun at your own peril! Having said that I've never had a problem with wide angle lens/slow normal lenses (so long as you don't keep it pointing at the sun). Problem comes when there is a bit of aperture, like a telephoto. You can see @alex1320 's reply in https://steemit.com/steemstem/@terrylovejoy/venus-at-inferior-conjunction .
