Pinhole shutter speed test

The camera, surprisingly, was able to meter through a pinhole.  I ignored that for now and did a quick time test on Manual.  The camera reads f/0 but the hole is actually listed at f/222 (0.22mm).  ISO is the camera's base of 100.

The pinhole is a Rising Standard.  Sure I could have made one, but I wanted a tool that is consistent and able to create repeatable results.

Also I was quite surprised to see the scene well enough through the viewfinder that I was able to point the camera in the right general area.
