the only option i for-sore was to isolate the light within the flatbed scanner to let the light comming into the camera affect the sensors instead.

the easiest way i found to do this was to add a switch to one of the inputs from the main PCB on the moving carriage to the dc to ac converting transformer(small PCB) for the scanner light. (this gives you the control to turn off the light at will after the register scan but before scanning the projected image.

You can also use the materials listed earlier to make a functional while minimally engineered large format body for a camera.

WARNING

I am not responsible for any injuries you may undertake please be careful with electricity do not modify live powered devices and be aware of capacitors that hold charge and i am told exposure of you eyes to direct full powered scanner light is harmful there fore be extra careful.
