I like this orange... thing.

Purple wire

Blue wire

Red wire

Orange wire

Green wire

Yellow wire

Anything "XL" that recharges you must be good... :) And there is another thing about the name "duracell" translated but I´d better not mention it. Post-its are for Technical details they said. 0-)

Tech det.: Carpet

Brown ribbony-wire sort of thing

A "screw" (ahem!)

Neon bulb.

Yellow wire. Cut this one, and we're all dead.

winged thesis

lights when soul-hungry

Souls go through here, but it's an ultrasonic rangefinder too.

highly-evolved film

UN216 Silicon PNP epitaxial planer transistor - it is essentially a low-voltage transistor array drive for small motors, probably in this case the zoom and/or focus.

conected to the carpet? :)

I'd love to see how they do all these little solder points.

how to set a precedent...tripod bush

lolol@A

photo sensor?

The lesser known "Brown" wire -- nobody wants you to know about this one. It leads to a hatch, and the other side of the island....

Blue..Circle ;)

Oh no! I can see his wires! That's obscene!

Just kidding. Great picture, the orange things (circuits?) are nice. It's funny, some designers strive to achieve that look, and others hide it behind layers of black plastic.

This is very revealing - an intriguing and beautiful nude. Judging by the fiber in the background, though, this nude model is very tiny!

Thanks for the notes, Alieness. Curious about the battery....

Paul Watson says:

Damn, Nell M beat me to the punch. The moment I saw the thumb I thought "got to call this obscene".

Interesting shot, are you as good at putting together as you are at pulling apart? I never was.

Just_Tom says:

From Boing Boing:

"Already, Flickr users have begun to use the photo-annotation tool to mark up the pic with technical details on the exposed components."

OK, so that's "technical details" like, "I like this orange... thing", right?

;)

Ben: I'd want one. =)

I love the wavy cut of the circuit board. I wonder how it would be shooting a pic with it in that state. I am great at breaking things open but the reverse is not true.

How would it be? Painful! The capacitors that drive a flash tube pack a hell of a wallop.

jurvetson says:

Thanks y'all. I have a hard time predicting which photos will be popular.... Glad to see there are a lot of closet geeks out there. =)

So much of our world is driven by technology and it is becoming a black box. There is much inner beauty.

When I take apart a 20 year old TV, it is so much more interesting than a modern LCD TV. Pre-"integrated circuit era" electronics can be gorgeous. I have pulled the cover off of a lot of electronics this year, and cameras are some of the most interesting.

Andyi: Right you are. Here's another example.

Look at what getting on boing boing gets you as far as hits, Steve... whew!

yeah.... I noticed that. You gotta love the bloggers.

13K views within 2 days seems to be consistent as the "boing boing effect"....

This is a whole new "take" on nude photography. Naked pictures from a naked camera. Roll up roll up , Japanese striptease, see everything!

PS you might like to look at my treatment of a videocamera to produce a similar set of pictures to this one.

I remember seeing a photo in the "Cherry Hotel" in Vancouver BC, which had the caption

"Naked photography a speciality"

and there was a group of fully dressed people having there photograph taken by a naked man.

lysdexia [deleted] says:

planer? planar?
Hmm, now that I think about it, is that an infrared port, an ultrasonic rangefinder, or something else?

oops, planar.

Is that an infrared port on your camera or are you just glad to see me?

Pipistrula says:

i agree with...several people...screw the nice grey and black...I want a clear camera!

by the way...you just officially inspired me to take apart my prev camera which has been deemed "unfixable" :D
Posted 57 months ago. ( permalink )

Pipistrula says:

oh! i remembered what I REALLY wanted to say:

Could you have made a 'home-made tazer' out of that camera?? I know you can (and I have) from disposable cameras, but I've never tried with an actual one...huh...

okies.yeah.justcurious.

I like PCBs, ICs, discreet components and all that sexy stuff...

lee4hmz says:

The brownish-orange plastic circuit film in this is better known as "polyimide" or "Kapton" and is used in quite a few things, especially if they need to pack a lot of stuff in a small space (like this camera). You can even get Kapton tape for taping down wires and such.

Also, the chip in the upper right corner is some sort of custom chip. I'm guessing it contains the auto-exposure or auto-focus guts. The big "M" is short for Matsushita (better known as Panasonic).

You can see my photos. I'll show. But definitely I will not show you my only camera. U may do that like this. lol
