Don't do this, they make filters for less than 10.00 that work partially well for a short period of time. A Nikon digital camera doesn't work this way also. The camera is using the sensor prior to taking a photo so it can auto focus, let you see what you're photographing of the view screen, etc. If you take a picture of the sun it will be blasting the sensor the entire time the camera is viewing the sun, not just while the shutter is open. I know for a fact you'll burn a spot on your sensor if you do this. This doesn't apply to an annular eclipse, only the full eclipse in April, when the eclipse is in full effect you can look directly at it, it's as it gradually comes back is where people lose their sight. Full eclipse, sun fully covered, take pic with no filter or special setting, pic comes out perfect. You're welcome.
