I have worked through my open repair projects in the last few months and am now taking a longer break.
During my last project I noticed that I was no longer prepared to fight for success. So it's time to put the screwdrivers down for some time.
Electronics in cameras
I would like to pursue my other area of interest, electronics, with a focus on the electronics in SLRs.
Unfortunately there is almost no specialist literature on this and documentation is also rare.
It is not enough to admire the complex electronics in SLRs, you should at least understand how they basically work.
The best place to find information on this is in The Camera Craftsman and the SPT Journal as well as the C & C Troubleshooting Guides as far as available.
Here it is usually the articles by the highly respected and brilliant Larry Lyells that provide further information.
A general approach
To keep things simple I will approach the topic in general and try to understand the respective camera circuits in terms of system and process.
Analogue and digital electronics can be found in my favourite cameras from the 1980s, and this also involves microprocessors and microcontrollers. A fascinating subject.
I look forward to reports and discussions on the topic!
