SUMMARY
The crowd-funded startup I'm Back has addressed a key drawback in its digital module for film cameras. The I'm Back Roll, an APS-C sensor module designed for 35mm film cameras, previously required a separate Bluetooth trigger to activate the sensor before the mechanical shutter. To solve this, they've developed a "Sync button" that screws into the camera's shutter button threads, directly connecting to the module to avoid latency. This innovation aims to make it easier to revive old film cameras for digital use.
