... 1.0 BRAND AND MODEL BRAND : PENTAX MODEL : K-30 The Pentax K-30 is a 16.3-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, announced on 21 May 2012. At its introduction, it was in the middle of Pentax's DSLR range—above the now-discontinued entry-level K-r, and below the semi-pro K-5 and successor K-5 II. As a mid-range body, it has a polycarbonate chassis, but unlike most DSLRs of that class, is fully weather sealed. It can shoot continuously at up to 6 frames per second with a maximum shutter speed of 1/6000th of a second. It can capture video at 1080p at either 30, 25, or 24 fps. Like all current and recent Pentax DSLRs it features in-body shake reduction, removing the need for each lens to have image stabilisation. The Pentax K mount allows use of legacy lenses dating back to the 1970s, or even earlier with an M42-mount adapter, for which the K-mount is fully compatible. The autofocus system (SAFOX IXi+) is an advance over the K-5 and features 11 AF points, 9 of which are cross-type (i.e. sensitive to vertical as well as horizontal edges). For maximum flexibility, the camera can either use the proprietary supplied lithium battery, or, with an optional adapter, use the universally available AA battery type. 2.0 RETAIL PRICE AND WHERE TO BUY Price - ± RM 2,659.00 Location - Can be obtained at any camera shop and can also be purchased...

I asked “I know nothing about the cameras and its techniques. Well! , you know! , when I just felt like having a camera, I just came here and bought a one”. An owner of a Digital SLR camera replied back, standing at the most famous Digital Camera’s Shop in the Capital City of Maldives. He is correct in his reply. Majority of the people doesn’t know about the different camera types and use of it in different types of photography. What purposes do the camera they buy, mostly suitable for and fit in. Abstract Capturing light to record an image started back from 1814 as a pin-hole camera which later advances to Rangefinder, Argus, Polaroid, Nikon and finally in 1991 to Digital SLR. From the Pinhole to the Digital age of the cameras, camera’s has bought a revolution not only to the camera and photography but...

...Assignment 5.1 Company Basics and Target Markets Lennart Fleschhut Company’s name: PolarInstant 1. PolarInstant is a company that provides the possibility to turn “normal” digital pictures into old, vintage Polaroid looking printed pictures. The name is set together by Polaroid, which used to be a possibility to take pictures and get them instantly printed. This contains the second part of the name, which is instant. In modern times old Polaroid cameras are really rare and, in case you are lucky to still have on, really hard and costly to maintain them. But there is a trend among young people up to middle-aged people around 35-45 to seek for those kinds of pictures. Although really high-class single lens reflex camera pictures offer really real and detailed pictures, more and more people seem to prefer the style of old pictures they see on old pictures of their parents or even grandparents. One can see that for example by the success of Instagram, which offers the possibility to change the style of pictures and share them with your friends online. PolarInstant’s headquarter and Labs will be located in San Francisco and the services it offers will be available through the Internet on www.polarinstant.com. People will upload their pictures and then change the style of their picture, where they can choose from various styles, which are of course really authentical, as the company has analysed thousands of old pictures to provide the widest range of possibilities possible...

...Photography is the technique of recording and generating permanent images, by the capturing and preservation of physical stimulus-patterns on a layer of photosensitive material. It involves recordinglight patterns as reflected from objects, on to a sensitive medium through momentary exposure. The process is done through mechanical, chemical or digital devices commonly known as camera. The word comes from the Greek words φως phos ("light"), and γραφις graphis ("stylus", "paintbrush") or γραφη graphê, together meaning "drawing with light" or "representation by means of lines", "drawing". Photography is the art, science, and practice of creating pictures by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or electronic image sensors. Photography uses foremost radiation in the UV, visible andnear-IR spectrum. As far as can be ascertained, it was Sir John Herschel in a lecture before the Royal Society of London, on March 14, 1839 who made the word "photography" known to the world. But in an article published on February 25 of the same year in a German newspaper called the Vossische Zeitung, Johann von Maedler, a Berlin astronomer, had used the word photography already.[2] The word photography is based on the Greek φῶς (photos) "light" and γραφή (graphé) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with light".[3] 1. The art or process of producing images of objects on photosensitive surfaces. 2. The art...

...Reflection Paper: Importance of 180o Rule or Action Axis in TV and Film Production 180o Rule or Action Axis is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot from the opposite side is known as reverse angle.1 Below is diagram how the 180o Rule or Action Axis looks like: [pic] The said principle is also based on the exchange of looks between the actors, either from left to right (of camera) or right to left (of camera). Also, the 180 degree rule enables the audience to visually connect with unseen movement happening around and behind the immediate subject and is important in the narration of battle scenes.2 In my opinion, the principle of Action Axis is helpful in TV and film production when determining the camera positions for photographing two or more people. Also, it helps the cameras and people in front of the camera adjust their blockings for a better shot. Action Axis is I think, the most basic, effective, and must-learn principle that a media arts student must understand before doing a film. Without understanding this concept, one would find difficulty in shooting his film. For aesthetic purposes, I do think that the180o rule will help emphasize the facial expressions of the actors or talents and make the...

...Evaluation Based on the concept generation, there are six ideas for the new product of Aapple. According to the market demand, we choose two more profitable new product ideas to be evaluated. Install IOS into the mirrorless interchangeable-lenses cameras to manage all features of the camera and share pictures with other apple devices effectively. Because Apple has huge consumer group who have brand loyalty and prefer to use IOS system. Besides, Android system has lots of problem now and IOS may be a better choice for consumer. Another one is to make the camera body thinner. On account of the reason why people choose mirrorless camera instead of single-lens reflex camera is to reduce backpack weight, thinner camera would be new trend of this industry. Full Screen To evaluate these two ideas comprehensively, the full screen analysis is necessary in the report. The first step is to determine the scoring model factors. It includes technical and commercial factors. The commercial aspect contains marketing issues and possible financials. The factors will be weighted by marketing team. For example, the important factors such as profit will be weighted 5 points. The second step is to evaluate the factors of both ideas. Finally, the scoring of products will depend on the result of factor scorings multiple factor weight (Crawford and Di Benedetto, 2011).

...By outsourcing your photography to a professional photographer you have the comfort of knowing that the person has the knowledge and background to make the correct adjustments to whatever scenario arises. They should have all of the necessary equipment to make sure your photographs are of the highest quality possible. With the background and education, you can expect that they have a keen eye that will position you in the proper places, angles and lighting that would make your photo superior. One would also believe that because they are a professional, they would only present you with the highest quality. This would be accomplished by them utilizing the latest applications, the best printers, the best cameras and the very best lenses. The photographer will also have the proper licensing for his business that will eliminate you from suffering a possible lawsuit. Some of the drawbacks to utilizing a professional photographer are the most glaring being the cost you will incur for their services. They have spent thousands of dollars, sometimes even tens of thousands on equipment and usually more on school. They must then rent or purchase space to house their studio, pay utilities, and advertise and whatever other expenses that they may have related to their business. This will all be reflected in the final cost that purchaser pays. A person is also at the mercy of the photographers schedule and must make appropriate arrangements with their own personal schedule. This includes the...

...need to upgrade my main digital SLR camera. I knew that I needed something with a higher mega pixel than my last one, more focus points and something able to record high definition video in regular speed as well as slow motion. I would’ve loved to have the feature of built in wifi to transfer my photos wirelessly to my smartphone but that didn’t weigh in so heavy on my criteria list. I began my search and ended up finding three separate cameras, all made by Canon and had slightly different functions. I ended up reading a number of reviews as well as watched tutorial videos on each camera over the course of a week. As I analyzed I realized only one of those cameras would serve me best in the long run. Yes, it had the most expensive up front cost but because of the professional grade added quality it brought to table I wouldn’t have to upgrade another camera for a while now. I relied a lot on the internet for my research since I didn’t get a chance to try out the camera before making the purchase. I used existing knowledge of photography to help me make the choice of a camera that would benefit me. I’ve made a lot of purchases in life and I normally wouldn’t research for an entire week before making that purchase. I started reading Chapter 2 and quickly realized that I could relate it to my existing search. I learned that I feel a lot better about making a well thought out decision. I got a chance to learn about features on a camera I never thought that I would use but...

...performance of technologies will double in very rapid way 2. The price of technologies will also decrease by half in very rapid pace. In terms of these prevailing conditions, we can see the exponential technology self-expands in its two traits to the world: Breadth and Depth. So how could these two expansions traditionally make exponential impacts in century? Take camera as an example, it has been evolved from the world’s first digital camera – Kodak Digital Camera at 1975 which cannot take video-taped to the nowadays digital single-lens reflex camera at 2016 which can offer superb image quality and video recording at 4K resolution. In terms of performance, instead of using camera to capture best moments every day, people now use camera: To show the rest of the “fan community” that “I was there”; To let the worldwide events captured to enter one’s window. Not just do the performance upgrade, the price and size also make camera more accessible to the world. The cost of buying a camera has been reduced from a hefty price tag of U.S $13,000 for a low quality camera to U.S $ 2,499 for a Canon – EOS 5D Mark III DSLR Camera. Undoubtedly, the reducing price opens the...
