Pretty much the title ^
I was not able to verify it via photos in this guide

P.S. Also what about an Audio?

Does the shutter mechanism still work with this mod?

I started looking into this initially. There is a sensor that could be connected to the Raspberry Pi to read the status of the iris. Hooking that up to do interesting things in software should be quite easy. E.g. it could launch a particular app when you open it. I couldn't quite reverse-engineer the sensor type, so I put it aside for now.

It would be a cool project for someone to pick up. In case someone does, I uploaded a work-in-progress modified 3D model here that carves out an attachment for one of these and room for wires to connect the flex cable of the iris sensor to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.

Also what about an Audio?

I haven't looked into it, but audio should be doable. There's still quite a bit of room in the frame that could be used for a microphone. There's some discussion about the software part of this here.
