Aug 7, 2018 at 19:52 comment added Wrzlprmft The sufficiency of measurement precision is not a black and white thing. You never have perfect precision, you just can become less imprecise. The only question is when you expect that improving the precision of a certain step is not worth the effort anymore – but you can never know because a higher precision may reveal new insights (which weren’t new if you knew about them).
Aug 7, 2018 at 19:23 comment added Michael C @Wrzlprmft If the camera has already proved precise enough for your purpose, then what is the problem you are trying to solve with this question?
Aug 7, 2018 at 6:18 comment added Wrzlprmft Actually, from preliminary tests I know that the camera is precise enough for what I want to do; I just wish to get the most out of it. The reasons why I use a device made for taking pictures are: 1) Taking pictures is still pretty close to what I am doing; I just don’t care about the limits of human vision. 2) There is no cheap device for my purpose that is better than a camera for taking pictures, possibly there even isn’t an expensive one. Remember that a lot of development effort went into making modern cameras the cheap and precise tools they are.
