maple "mavica" syrup [6502] @mavica_again@computerfairi.es

after finally getting some decent flux and picking up the pieces i abandoned several months ago, i think i've finally managed to reflow all the broken solder gremlins that kept my visor eyemodule from working properly

why did we start calling avatars "puhf-ps"

@nyastrid 🎉

@earthshaking it is, and it does seem to react properly when pointing it at a bright light

is there anything i can measure to be able to tell?

i really wish i could somehow modify the firmware on these and allow for manual exposure instead

@vxo you know video gear. these use camcorder grade CCDs i believe

i have a Sony Mavica FD-71 that's working but taking pictures much darker than an FD-75. from what i can tell they're ostensibly the same camera with the same sensor hardware only with/without manual focus. has anyone serviced these models? is there some aging component that can be replaced to make the pictures not as dark?

robot girl who is me (it's me i'm the robot girl)
