If you try to shoot an eclipse without a solar filter, you'll ruin sensor. You really don't want to point it at the sun anytime without the proper filter. If you look at it without solar glasses, you could go blind (I know a guy that did). That Nikon link is a good read and there are some others very similar. I would suggest reading until you have a thorough understanding. I'm about to order a solar filter and practice as suggested. Good luck, just remember to protect your camera and, more importantly, your eyes!
