Abstract
Reducing light damage in a shutterless imaging device includes receiving a signal from a hardware device and analyzing the signal to predict a use demand of the shutterless imaging device. In response to the analysis of the signal from the hardware device, a lens of the shutterless imaging device is adjusted. Adjusting the lens spreads out energy of far-field image light incident on an image sensor of the shutterless imaging device.
