Sony announces PMW-F55 4K pro camcorder with global shutter and F5 without

31 Oct

Sony-PMW-F55.png

Sony has introduced two 4K-capable modular cameras, including the PMW-F55 which has a Super 35-sized sensor with a global shutter. The specifications of the two cameras are pretty overwhelming – 16-bit Raw recording, parallel 2K and 4K recording, but the biggest news is the global shutter – the ability to capture all pixels simultaneously, rather than one line at a time – totally eliminating rolling shutter effect.

Sharpen Tool ——————————————————————— The Sharpen tool is a neat feature that allows you to make pixels look slightly more jagged. On photographs, it will help create a sharpened effect that will make the selection look clearer. 1. To access this tool, click and hold the “teardrop” icon in the tool bar. Drag down to the tool that looks like a “triangle” that says Sharpen Tool.2. Click and drag on a portion of your canvas to see the effect. This tool can prove useful for both enhancing and hiding blur created by photographs. You can use it for all kinds of effects.3. The top Options panel has a few choices: * Brush Size and Stroke * Strength (which determines how much blur will be created with each stroke) * All Layers (which allows you to use the Sharpen tool on all layers at once) Read more by visiting our page at: www.mahalo.com

Filming The Moon

30 Oct

Info on ‘Filming the Moon’ (of the 3rd July 2009 using an 8 inch SCT and a Nikon D90 digital camera)……. For some reason, this video seems to get watched a lot. Please note that this was purely a test of shooting video using the video mode of the camera. I consider this test to have been a complete failure as the quality was poor and I have never shot straight video through the telescope since making this video. I rarely use a telescope for astrophotography either. See this video, shot using still images with just the camera and no telescope: www.youtube.com
