yup ... is a compact camera. olympus c-350 zoom

The sensor has 16pins

the sensor pcb board has a microchip driver MN3114 and a ribbon cable sticking out

if i can get the sensor to work, it would be great for taking astrophotos and videos.

basically the camera circuit could not operate the lens shutter correctly.
