Illustrated step-by-step directions for more than 20 hacks, including: Building triggers; Accessing raw sensor data; Making accessory lens adapters; Eliminating the infrared blocking filter; Extending lenses; Making reverse macro adapters; Building a monopod; Creating bicycle and car mounts; and, Hacking microdrives from other devices.
