Does Lessans claim light at the object is a necessary condition of sight or not? Why can't you admit that this is your claim and not his?
Cameras cannot take real-time images because, as you have now agreed, the image is formed on the basis of the properties of light present at the camera which has taken time to arrive.
I know you'd like to "leave it at that". You always try to weasel out of discussion when the cognitive dissonance becomes too strong. Tough. Deal with the points and follow through the implications of your own claims instead of running away from them.
