Panasonic Lumix Dmc-Lx3 - Unique Prosumer Camera

Going for a thinner profile than the mean prosumer camera the Panasonic Dmc-Lx3 is compact, looks cool and has a comfortable grip. If it weren't for its corporate black look with silver trim and huge lens, it would almost look like a approved point and shoot. At 9.3 grams it is quite lightweight and fits into most pockets with ease. The top of the camera is filled with a hot shoe, the mode dial and shutter button while other controls line the back panel. The camera is comfortable enough to use one-handed but for best results a two-handed grip is optimum.

Utilizing a 3-inch Lcd screen the Panasonic Dmc-Lx3 does not have any optic viewfinder. It does have a 10.1 Megapixel Ccd sensor with 2.5x optic zoom and 4x Digital Zoom along with 24- 60mm focal distance lens at F/2.0 - 2.8. This gives it a uncostly whole of power with a slightly wider view for group photos. The camera offers 50Mb worth of internal memory with expandable slots for Mmc and Sd memory cards. It takes still images in Raw, Jpeg and Raw+Jpeg file formats along with Vga and wide-screen Vga resolution Quicktime video files. The camera can also capture Hd Movies at 1280 x 720p resolutions and 30 frames per second.

Most of the features and options on the Panasonic Dmc-Lx3 like Iso sensitivity, white balance, metering, Af mode, or inviting exposure are self-operating although some options have by hand alternatives like focus and exposure. While it does have a hot shoe for external flash, it also has an integrated flash as well, which works well enough in a pinch. While there are only two institution slots on the mode dial, the camera supports four institution settings groups at a time. Controls may take some time getting used to while carrying out is mixed. With a wake-up to first shot time of 2 seconds, the camera is quite fast, while shot-to-shot times are about 1.9 seconds without flash. With flash this time increases to 2.5 seconds that is above mean at best.




Image ability on the Panasonic Dmc-Lx3 is sharp and nicely saturated. The camera's new 2.5X f2.0-2.8 24-60mm-equivalent lens is faster and has a wider angle offering you more detailed close-up shots and easier to take group and scenery shots. However, it does mean that you can't zoom in from afar that is well worth the extra boost in carrying out speed and image clarity. This makes the Panasonic Dmc-Lx3 exquisite for the intermediate point-and-shoot enthusiast finding for a more remarkable prosumer digital camera but is just as good for a Dslr user finding for a less clunky camera to bring about.

Fuji FinePix Real3D Camera tell - The Worlds First Real 3D Camera

Here comes the panacea for all hassles that we had to bear with, in order to shoot a decent 3D image. The new Fuji FinePix 3D W1 camera offers such irresistible features, that it will be indeed hard to say no to it.

We have all heard of adequate rants about how to view a 3D image and coupled with that, terms like anaglyph, cross-eyed techniques do not ease our perplexity in any way. But with the new Fuji's 3D W1 we can just quote the image on our camera's Lcd monitor. It leverages our capability to view objects along two lines of sight. The phenomenon of "parallax barrier system" as it is called is used by the 3D digital viewer to direct the light to our left and right eyes in a way that facilitates us to view 3D images with just the naked eye. We can bid adieu to complex spacial setup for as simple a task as viewing images. We can quote the images on both the camera's Lcd monitor or on a large Lcd monitor by just capturing the shot and playing it back in 3D which brings point and shoot technology in its truest sense to the 3D world.

The arrangement of lens makes up the soul of the art of 3D photography. A compromise on this aspect is a compromise on the basic intent of photography itself. From the way the lenses are aligned to the minimum disunion that is required, precision is the key and here comes Fuji 3D camera to our salvage because it takes care of the hard part leaving us free to focus on the subject. The Real 3D W1 camera comprises of two lenses and two Ccds aligned for excellent 3D touch and the aluminum frame gives a firm keep for the lenses so that they do not lose the precision.

Have we ever imagined that a day would come when the blissfully comfortable auto highlight would become a reality in 3D photography? Fuji has made it inherent now. Thanks to the Real Photo (Rp) 3D processor, that adjusts the parametric factors like brightness, tone automatically and shoots images of the object with distinct settings, we can afford to be a novice in 3D photography and yet achieve aesthetically great photographs with the auto mode feature.

When it comes to digital cameras, we always look for those industrialized features that set digital photography apart. Be it macro shots or continuous shots, there is a plethora of choices that are waiting to get unraveled. Thankfully Fuji has customized these features for the 3D space. With private shutter 3D shooting, we can take images of the same branch from two distinct angles and the camera merges them and the corollary is a breathtaking cross-eyed shot. The same corollary can be achieved in macro modes too. With the Interval shooting, the 3D W1 camera can take successive shots of an object in motion. No more trivial blurs.

To all those purists out there, Fuji 3D W1 camera has all those manual functions that we have in a two dimensional digital camera. The shutter speed and gap ,break can be set manually as well as 13 modes of shooting like portrait, landscape, night shot and natural light.

Fuji Real W1 camera does not leave 2D behind in any way. On the contrary it provides added industrialized 2D highlight that lets us capture two private shots of the same branch with distinct settings as if the images are shot using two distinct cameras.

With Fuji 3D W1 camera it's not just the inside that does the talking. The exterior speaks too. The buttons are all illuminated so that we do not spend half our time comprehending how to achieve an operation. The Gui menus are displayed in 3D too. It is now easy to switch between 3D and 2D shots seamlessly with just the touch of a button that switches between the modes. Sd and Sdhc cards are supported. The 3D and 2D data can be transmitted using wireless IrSs technology to a FinePix 3D Lcd screen.

Fuji Real 3D W1 is groundbreaking in every sense because, it is a faultless solution to 3D photography needs. It caters to the needs of 3D photographers end to end. From capturing to printing, it is never a shoddy show but a full-fledged faultless outcome that we get.

Stealth Cam Prowler Hd appeal Trail Camera - A User Guide

Scouting game and wildlife with the Stealth Cam Prowler Hd Digital Trail Camera has never been more advanced.

Stealth Cam's Prowler Hd Digital Video Scouting Recorder with features full Hd video footage recording as well as an 8Mb Still camera. The device also stamps time/date/moon phase and climatic characteristic on each file to give invaluable field information. As well as recording video and stills the Prowler records full audio.

How to Set up your Prowler Hd

The Stealth Cam Prowler comes in the box with a belt strap, instructions and a data replacement lead. You will need 6 decent quality C cell batteries, and a Sd memory card which you can purchase a 4 Gig one for about £7.00. Running the camera at full resolution with a 4Gb card will give you 1600 high res 3400x2550 still shots or 112 Hd video clips.

Positioning the Camera

It is recommended that you mount the camera 5ft from the ground with the lens pointing at a exiguous downward angle. Be truthful of the rising sun and position your camera so that it is facing North or South, and clear any foliage from in front of the lens. Feed the strap straight through the camera, there are two "belt loops" on the back of the device and wrap the straps round a tree or post but don't tighten them just yet.

Direct the camera so that it is facing the area you wish to cover with the Ir. Avoid placing the camera towards a rising or setting sun as it can cause overexposure of the shots. Slide the camera to the side of the tree, and look straight through the viewfinder at the top of the camera to check the area the lens will cover.

When happy tighten up the straps, and lock the belt straight through the buckle to make a tight fit. For small ground game a wooden wedge placed at the top of the camera will make the lens point towards the ground more, surface the ground area better.

Testing the Operation

1. Once you are happy with the cameras positioning, open up the camera body, and turn the camera on.

2. Press the Test button, the camera will then enter a 1 exiguous countdown mode, time sufficient to leave the coverage area.

3. Walk straight through your aimed capture area, ensuring that the Pir picks up your presence, this is indicated by a green Led illuminating.

4. I use Millie my lab pup as a test dog, but request her to walk past the camera, checking that it picks up a smaller object, rather than a 15 stone human!

5. When you are happy that the positioning of the camera is sufficient to cover the area you require, you are ready to begin.

3. Turn the camera On and following your manual, set the camera for whether Camera or Video mode. You also need to set the duration of the video, or the number of shots you wish the camera to take at once. In video mode you can have the camera operating in Hd, D1 or Vga mode, with Hd being the best quality but less image quantity per card. In Camera mode you can choose High, Low or Base resolution, of policy as with video, the lower the resolution means the more images you can fit on a memory card. We set the video duration to 20 seconds and the time out to 1.

4. The Time Out setting allows you to tell the Stealth Cam how long it should "sleep" in the middle of triggering. This should be set quite low if you are using a large capacity memory card, as there is nothing worse than a deer absorbing into shot, then out of shot for a moment, to return to graze in front of a sleeping trail camera, that doesn't wake up again for 10minutes, in which time the deer has hot footed it to new pastures.

5. You should also set up the time, and date at this stage, which is quite crucial when reviewing the video footage at a later date.

6. At the end of each schedule set up selection, you may press Menu to exit and return to the camera status read screen. You now have 60 seconds to close up the camera, and to get out of the Pir zone.

7. Manufacture sure you fasten both clasps firmly, close up the camera and leave the area, the camera is now ready to capture movement of animals.

8. At night the Infra red will illuminate.

9. While the day you will get colour images.
