@Noctosphere you should mention in the original post that you can scan ingredients with the camera rune. it would add them to the hyrule compodium. then you can have the sensor to look for specific ingredients instead of shrines. this would require you to have at least an ingredient in your inventory that you can just drop it, scanned it and go in a hunt for it. this also applies to creatures, most weapons, ingredients.
Below is short tutorial on how to use it.
Requirements: camera rune upgraded to level 2
1. open the camera rune and scan the ingredient
1.a if the ingredient is in your inventory just drop it and scan it.
2.Go to the hyrule compodium and select the ingredient you scan to be used by the sensor.
