Fuji X100S retro cameras with sophisticated features
Fuji X100S, a retro cameras with exciting and sophisticated features
 |
| New Fujifilm X100S. Image: pricearea.com |
If you are fond of retro camera, then you need to see a Japanese camera, made by Fujifilm, namely Fuji X100S. This camera does seem old-fashioned, but in this camera you will get advanced technology from Fujifilm.
The design of the Fuji X100S is barely different from its predecessor, the Fuji X100. At this new camera you do not find shooting mode regulator at the top like a DSLR camera in general. Instead there is a shutter speed setting knob (shutter speed) and exposure compensation. Fuji seemed to signal that X100S is not designed for photographers who rely on automatic shooting modes. You do not need to worry because you will be familiar with this design.
The camera body is very strong because it is made with the magnesium material on the top and polyurethane on the bottom. When holding this camera, Fuji X100S really feels luxurious and expensive, which is comparable to the price premium. Besides luxury, the ergonomic factor of this camera is quite well with a fairly comfortable grip. The placement of the keys is quite fitting and easy to reach, even when peering through the viewfinder innovative. Fuji includes a button with label Q which can bring some basic functions of the camera can be set, such as ISO settings, white balance, timer, image resolution, and so on. So is no need to venture too deep into the layered menu.

Fantastic feature
Fujifilm X100S equipped with the APS-C X-Trans CMOS II 16 megapixels, lens 23mm f / 2 (same as X100) and EXR processor II is proven to produce very good photos, even a little nicer in the APS-C DSLR camera class beginner and intermediate. Exposure and accurate white balance in various lighting conditions, assisted with the film simulation option that determines the color eventually, guaranteed to make you be amazed to see the picture. This camera already proved very sharp lens at all aperture settings. Macro performance is also very good, as long as you use a smaller aperture of f/2.8 (f / 4 down). But the most amazing is the images in high ISO settings. I am confident enough to use an ISO setting of 3200 and 6400 were fairly clean. Even the results (JPEG format) are cleaner than middle-class DSLR cameras such as the famous Canon EOS 7D, and Nikon D7000.

There are some pretty useful shooting features, such as AE / ISO / Film Simulation / DR (Dynamic Range) bracketing, and Motion Panorama. With this feature, you can generate the desired photos directly on the camera. Motion Panorama feature is useful to create extra wide image automatically, by shifting the camera that will connect some photos. Its use is quite easy with the good results, except in the room and dim light conditions. This Feature is suitable for making panoramic landscape photos. You can also use Fujifilm X100S to make video clips with the great results, but you need to practice using the video feature so that you are accustomed to, so you will smoothly when making movies.
Are you interested in this camera? Before you decide to buy Fujifilm X100S, perhaps you need to compare with retro cameras from other brands such as: Nikon COOLPIX A and Sigma DP3 Merrill. Do get confused, you'll know if you've been holding all these cameras with your own hands.

Secret tips for budding photographers
 |
| Low light photo by Putu Agung Wijaputera. |
If you already have a digital camera, then you should get out of the house, and bring your camera. Feel free to take picture what you find anywhere. Make sure camera you already contain memory card and the battery is full.
If you have plans to buy a digital camera, then do not be dazzled by the amount of megapixels on the camera. Megapixels are not the most important feature of a camera; the sensor size is the most important features.
For the novice photographer, I wanted to share some tips that may be able to use according to your needs. Please select the issue you want to do, which is as mentioned below:
1. Before leaving photographing, check your camera settings, you should not use these incorrect settings (landscape shooting with ISO 1000 for example). According to the pro photographer, good order is the following checks: check White Balance - Highlights activate warning - check the ISO setting - check the size of your image resolution.
2. To practice your panning skills, shoot objects that are moving at normal speeds (people riding motorcycles for instance), use the shutter priority mode and set the shutter speed up to 1/30 sec, slower is better. Pay attention to your background.
3. For photographing macro (super close range), activate the Live View feature on your digital camera in order to more easily examine depht of field and you can get the right focus.
4. To make a face photo outdoors, try when the weather is overcast. If not, look for areas that are not exposed to dim and direct sunlight. Sunlight makes harsh shadows on the face.
5. CPL Filter (polarization) are very useful to eliminate reflection of sunlight on water and glass, and also work to improve the color of the sky.

6. When you take pictures in low light conditions or difficult to use autofocus mode, then switch to manual focus. Autofocus on the camera is usually long enough to find a focal point in low light conditions.
7. To create a silhouette image, make sure you turn off the flash and use the sunset mode (for a pocket camera). If you use a Digital SLR camera, then use manual mode and measure exposure in bright areas behind the object.
8. If you like landscape photography, then you will get a good picture from 5 pm to 8 am, and from 4 to 7 pm. In the afternoon you can photograph the sunset on the beach or the sunset behind the mountains.
9. Remember to download the pdf version of the manual for your camera, so you easily do a quick search for the information you want to know than have to flip through pages of paper.
10. When you are photographing babies or children, make sure you focus on the eyes. Nothing can exceed the beauty of the eyes of children. Do not use the flash when you take pictures of children so that you get a more natural picture.
11. Format the memory card in the camera only, never format the memory card in the computer. In addition to much faster and easier also much safer if you do it in camera, memory card so you do not have a virus.

12. If you have the excess capacity of the hard disk in the computer and loves to do photo editing, use when shooting RAW format, if not just use JPG.
13. When taking pictures, look at the brightest area that goes into your viewfinder. If the light is too flashy compared to other areas, change the shooting angle.
14. If you want to shoot HDR, use auto bracket mode. One more thing: for landscape HDR photos are terrible, just wait until a little cloudy, and then start shooting.
15. If you buy a used lens or camera, make sure you do the transacetion with the seller to meet in person. You must examine the goods, hold and try the camera.
16. The extent possible, use the lowest possible ISO setting. Although noise reduction can reduce the noise generated by the high ISO, but it will reduce the overall image detail.
17. If the color makes your photo is too "busy" and crowded, turn your photos into black and white photos. You can use photo editing features in the camera or take advantage of software like Photoshop and other software that you can download for free on the Internet.
18. To produce a good black and white photo, note the contrast in your photo. The more contrast (dark and light areas are diverse), then the better your black and white photo you can make.
19. Bring a camera wherever you go or when you are on vacation. This is the fastest way of improving your photography skills is by extending the hours of flying, there is no better.
20. My advice, join a photography club in your city. Nikon and Canon have fans so much, there must be a Canon and Nikon club in your city, even manual cameras Pentax has a fanatical community known as Pentaxian. Are you a Pentaxian?
.
In bookstores you can buy books and magazines to review photography, so please take your time to read some of the aspects of photography that you want to know. If you're too lazy to read the book, so you can surf the Internet to gain knowledge about photography.

Simple guidelines for choosing a lens for Digital SLR cameras
 |
| Photo hunting in Bali |
Did you just begin enjoying the world of photography? If you have a hobby of photography and frequent holidays in striking scenery, you definitely will not forget the camera to contain in your tour. You certainly will not miss a moment of unique or stunning view. But sometimes there is a little dilemma. Naturally beginner photographer somewhat confused in determining the right lens for their camera. This problem is not just experienced by Digital SLR camera owners, it turns out the owner mirrorless camera or MFT (Micro Four Third) also felt the same confusion.
The major problem is not the owner of the camera is just about the right choice of lens, apparently a lot to do with the budget. But despite the money problem, at least, you need to know what the right lens for the camera, and understand photography activities you will do. Information on the type and size of the lens is very important point, so you are not buying the wrong lens. So, what points need to be considered?
Select the appropriate lens that suit to the camera
If you have a Nikon camera, then the lens is designed for Canon Mount will not work on your Nikon. You must use lens that suit with your camera, unless you want to use a lens with an adapter or choose a brand that is able to share the platform. You do not have to buy original brand lens from Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Pentax or Panasonic. You can buy a lens that such third party lens made by Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, Samyang, and other product.

Adjust the camera lens to the specific needs
For different needs, it would require a different lens. This relates to the focal length and maximum aperture. In general, judging by its use lenses can be divided into 5 groups, as follows:
The first is a standard lens, the 50mm. Usually when buying a DSLR camera, this lens is a lens that is given to camera buyers. The lens is also called a normal lens has a viewing angle and magnification factor equal to our eyes. Now, the factory sells more cameras are bundled with the camera lens 18-55 mm. This tendency has long been the case, both in sales as well as digital SLR camera when you buy mirrorless camera or MFT camera.
Next is a wide angle lens. If you want to take pictures of objects in a small space, this lens is suitable for you, so you get a wider picture. Compared to normal lenses, coverage area captured with this lens will be more extensive. The smaller the distance focus; it will be increasingly broad range of views. This kind of lens sizes is ranging from 17mm to 35mm. For those who like to shoot landscape or experimenting with a wide viewing angle, the wide-angle lens types can be selected.

The opposite of a wide-angle lens is a telephoto lens. The range of this lens is start from 70 mm upwards. You can use telephoto lens closer to the object, but at the same time you can narrowing the viewing angle. This telephoto lens is perfect for photography of fashion show, sports and music concert, or remote objects.
There is also a fish eye lens, wide angle lens that is the size of 14 mm, 15 mm, and 16 mm. With this lens, the images you produce will look curved. You can also use this lens to photograph the faces of your friends, so that their faces would look funny, but the fish-eye lens is usually used to take pictures of objects in the narrow room, such as in buildings, palaces, palace, churches, and so on.
Remember also among a wide variety of lenses, there is a macro lens that you can use to photograph very small objects such as ants, flowers, insects, butterflies and small creatures and other small objects. Lenses like this are usually owned by photography enthusiasts, biologists and other scientists.
Finally, of course is zoom lens. This lens has a size that is not fixed, such as 80-200 mm. This lens is versatile because it can be tailored to the needs, which can zoom in and zoom out. This means you can bring a photo or make the subject much without you having to approach the object you are photographing. Indeed, the price is relatively more expensive, but reliable for various needs. Believe me, there is also a zoom lens at reasonably priced. You can check prices zoom lens by using the search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines so that you get the right information. If you are curious I suggest you can check the prices on the website that is trusted, namely: http://superdigitalzone.com

If you are a beginner photographer, it is best if you have a zoom lens with a range of 18-250 mm or 18-270 mm. This versatile lens is fit for holiday or traveling, so you do not bother to change lenses quickly when you want to switch shooting from close distance to the remote or distance.
You just need to zoom in or zoom out. Sigma and Tamron is a third party lens manufacturer that produces various zoom lenses in different variations, there is even a type that are armed with anti-shake feature (image stabilizer). You could also try the original lens from Leica, Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Pentax, and other original lenses to suit your camera brand.

If you already have a lot of experience and familiarity, and of course the extra money, you can buy a wide range of lenses step by step. If you cannot wait, then you can buy a used lens, but make sure you buy at the store that has a good reputation. Try using a camera lens before you pay. If necessary, get a friend who is experienced so that you get a good lens though not a new lens. You can also get information about the photography forums on the Internet; join the forum so that you are smarter. Join a photography club in your city is also a very good decision.

*) SLT stands for "Single Lens Translucent", with the cameras incorporating TMT (Translucent Mirror Technology), a translucent mirror that allows roughly 70% of the light entering through the lens to pass directly through it and onto the imaging sensor, while a smaller amount, around 30% is reflected up to the camera's phase detection autofocus (AF) sensor. This means that the mirror, rather than flipping out of the way as in a traditional SLR camera, remains fixed in place, speeding up the time taken to record a shot and allowing for fast, full-time phase detection AF.
Other advantages of the design include less camera shake due to the mirror not moving, no viewfinder blackout during shooting, and settings such as exposure compensation and ISO can be more easily viewed on the electronic viewfinder.
