Nikon FM digital Blueprint (DIY digitalback)(Digital Film Cartridge for Analog Cameras) 

The camera is filming all the time and is saving the pictures when it is getting bright

I'm not sure, but the hardware won't be the issue, but the software that controls the sensor. Anyway, I believe there is chances to develop a software for an array of sensors, and to design the hardware for any film camera. I'm dreaming again after watching this video.

@@babenberg how about the latest offerings from Raspberry Pi Camera kit?

@@torokun I don't see much difference. Still have to modify the camera, expose the sensor, which is still small, adjust the focus plane. The next natural step in this project is to upgrade to bigger sensors. The UI is easy, but the code for the controllers is complex. More data requires more processor, which means more space, more power demand, more heat... Would be a good way to eliminate this steps by use the external processor of a phone or tablet, and the inside camera jig just as a storage and transmitter of the data. Take a photo, stored or sent to the phone in raw data, processed by the phone. The only setting needed in the sensor is ISO equivalent, since the analog camera controls speed and aperture. I guess that the app in the phone could modify this parameter easily. As I see it, is a software thing, now that the concept is proved. I personally was also developing this idea, is this exact physical configuration. I'm happy that he made it real. I'm sure he will get more than 1000 subscribers. Finally, I don't see any issues to design an internal jig for any other camera. Cheers!

@@babenberg to solve the focal plane issue, couldn't one just add a spacer to the flange distance, similar to how mirrorless cameras have adapters? You'd certainly still have to modify the internals of the camera. I don't know exactly how the parts for this project work, but assuming from the size of the battery, few processes happen within this camera except for transmission of data through WIFI, so this is probably already a non-issue. Surely more RAM would be needed with a bigger sensor. Maybe creating a battery pack in place of the spent film spool would be enough juice for a larger sensor, since it seems to be similar in size to many digital batteries.

It's not possible with my current technical skills. If this project spreads, some company will make it for me.That's my wish.

@@assahome how about with a little help from kickstarter？

@Benny Cheng Thank you. The timing is not good right now.We want to grow the community for a while. I'll think about it when we get to 1000 subscribers 😁

I'm sorry. I don't plan to sell it, so you'll have to make your own. I hope you can make it work.

@sanasol Is it possible to post a link to the 3D parts? Nice project. I own some Zenit cameras from the UDSSR and want to try this mod....thx

No problem. You just need to modify the 3D data to match what you've chosen.

@@assahome ok thank you
