Last year I took these pictures with the Coolpix 990,
<http://www.pbase.com/image/22451516>
but in the instruction book for the CP 4300, it says Do not point this camera at the sun, or whatever.
And we were just out working in the yard when I noticed a really neat ice-cloud around the sun with a shimmering blob of a rainbow. By the time I got in the house, to look for the 990, it had faded.
Would I ruin the CP 4300 if I had tried to get that picture? I forgot to say that I had a polarizing lens that I held over the lens for this picture. edit again, I realized that I did take these pix with the 4300 with the polarize lens.
I guess what my real question is, can you point them at the sun without the polarize lens? I am not too good at this stuff, and dont want to do anything that would ruin it. Thanks in advance,
Jane
