Olympus OM-D E-M10 New Compact Camera

The acclaimed Olympus E -M1, converted into a camera market benchmark now has a little sister Olympus OM- D E -M10. This is the new E -M10, which endorses many of the benefits and more compact in size with a price that approaches the public. Here are the two features of a camera capable of condensing quality and the design which is easy to use.

This is the camera; everyone will want to carry around. Despite its modest price and size, the E -M10 meets the high expectations that any model of the OM- D family in terms of image quality and ergonomics. Input, can boast of a metal body that gives it strength and ruggedness in a unique camera in its class. In addition to its comfortable grip and extensive configuration options of controls for more advanced users can adjust the operation of the camera to your liking; integrated electronic viewfinder is another one of the key pieces of this E -M10.

With a resolution of more than 1.4 million points and a refresh rate allows you to frame the scenes and assess conditions in difficult light conditions, surpassing other camera in its class in size, the display brightness. But the truth is that it is very common to find similar models equipped with this feature. Thanks to technology adaptation inherited brightness E -M1, played both dark scenes like the brightest as they are perceived by the human eye.

In addition, users of the E -M10 can use the Creative Control system to adjust easily and effective composition, focus, tone and color from display of your own choice and can see the results on the screen, of course, before shooting. The viewfinder and the integrated flash and rugged construction of the camera do not affect its size. In fact, it is combined with the new power zoom M.Zuiko 14-42 mm f3.5 -5.6 EZ, the set size is less than 64 millimeters thick. Less than most SLR bodies are defined as small and compact. The same sensor of 16 megapixel Live MOS, so well which gave its predecessor comes to this camera now reinforced with the help of the new generation TruePic VII processor, the same as the E -M1 uses.

An improvement, as demonstrated by the tests, it is clear when reviewing the results and check that both the level of detail in the images as noise control in the most difficult scenes is not a problem for this model. The new zoom and full range of objectives in this section have a very important role. The renowned quality Olympus optics, compatibility with Four Thirds lenses via an adapter, which opens the door to the wider range of the optical market, and the good work of the engine to deliver a perfect image JPEG with the best possible combination.

The image quality of the E -M10 is also benefited by the three-axis stabilizer for photo and video, which prevents camera shake and blur obtained in any rough situation, even in low light conditions or using exposures of 1/15 seconds or less. The Fast AF focusing system is another key of this E -M10. Thus, the camera uses 81 focus points to ensure coverage throughout the entire scene, with a speedy and accurate performance in all circumstances.

Neither speed burst shooting slump with a spectacular rate of 8 frames per second. Career Paths and classic design combined with next generation features such as integrated Wi- Fi that allows connect the camera directly to a tablet or Smartphone to share images or control the shot remotely. In addition, thanks to the camera QR codes, has never been easier to configure this connection.

Panasonic HX-A500 World’s First 4K Wearable Camera

The successor to the HX- A100 thus dissociates the GoPro and capable of recording 4K sequences but only at 25 frames per second. Panasonic stick out over a year in the field of action cameras with HX- A100, a curious proposal that stood out in two separate modules is available now, connected by a wire - target and control sensor to operate.

After showing a prototype at last CES in Las Vegas, the company today unveiled the HX -A500, which inherits the unique design of its predecessor and adds to the set to shoot video in 4K resolution. The Panasonic has used the GoPro technology for the last two generations which boast recording in Ultra high definition with 15 frames per second.

But now Panasonic's new camera Panasonic HX- A500, however, can capture 4096 x 2160 pixels at 25 frames per second, making it somewhat in the first action camera capable of recording 4K according to European standards. Panasonic HX- A500 has two modules which control to operate the camera (inside the case to the arm) and the target (mounted on the headband).

Armed with the Crystal Engine Pro + processor, the HX -A500 can also record video stream Full HD at 50 progressive frames per second, as well as sequences of 1280 x 720 pixels at 100 frames and 848 x 480 pixels at 200 frames per second.. Dust resistant and able to dive 3 meters depth and can stay for 30 minutes, the camera also debuts a 1.5-inch monitor and Wi- Fi with NFC technology. The release date and the price are not yet disclosed.

Alcatel OneTouch With Wysips Technology

Alcatel will probably be the first manufacturer a full range of Smartphones and tablets solar power in the second quarter of 2015 in the market. Behind this innovation, a French company Sunpartner, and photovoltaic technology Wysips which reserves more surprises. We already talked last year about Wysips Chrystal technology. In this technology transparent photovoltaic film and ultrathin moved to a display sub- layer and can charge a Smartphone in natural light. The French company SunPartner continues to develop Wysips and has now ready to move to the production stage through a partnership with Alcatel (TCT Mobile).

The latter has just unveiled the first prototype Smartphone using solar Wysips at MWC. This test is performed with the Alcatel One Touch Phone, an entry level model from the manufacturer. Alcatel One Touch could be the first to produce and market this type of device. Robcis Francis, vice president of SunPartner’s marketing and sales shed more light on it. But Aix Company planning to go to the industrial stage is their very short-term goal. The development of a new product does not happen overnight, it takes many months if not over a year between the idea and the placing on the market.

Alcatel One Touch, we believe reasonably come to market the first products in the second quarter of 2015. They are able to equip Smartphones and tablets with screens from 4 to 13 inches. Alcatel One Touch will confirm it and it will be equipped with the technology next year Wysips full range of products. The issue price for the end user is the sinew of war. They are now have to face an average additional cost of 20-30 % on the price of a standard screen and these costs to the base between 15 and 20 dollars (average end screens ), said Francis Robcis.

Likely the manufacturer may increase of a few Euros to integrate Wysips but not more, per device it seems. So soon you will have a photo voltaic ultra- fine screen, transparent 90%, which is placed behind the screen of your Smartphone. This Alcatel could therefore charge during the use since the screen has a light. Currently, Wysips Crystal technology achieves an efficiency of 2.5 mW / cm 2 for a 90% transparency. On a 4-inch screen with a 1800 mAh battery, it should be 100 hours to fully charge an empty battery.


Understandably, a charger is therefore always necessary even if five hours of exposure to allow a cell to recharge for a sufficient use several hours. Wysips produces as much electricity the appliance consumes. They are guaranteeing with a reserve battery to permanently secure many applications (music, emergency call, SMS, remote payment, health application, boarding pass, etc.) un interrupted.

This Smartphone can also integrate the new Wysips, making it compatible LiFi (Light fidelity). This solution allows simultaneously charging the battery but also to receive information transmitted by visible light waves (Visible Light Communication - VLC) without tapping into the electric battery from the device.

Digital Camera Accessories

A great digital camera requires a camera bag full of great accessories to ensure it takes photographs to its full potential. In recent decades, cameras have become more compact, cutting out the need for many expensive and cumbersome accessories. However, there are still several types of accessories the serious digital photographer should try to always have on hand. Here are some DSLR accessories you should consider buying to get the most out of your digital camera.

DSLR Tripod

A DSLR tripod is a three-legged stand on which a camera can be mounted and held steady. It performs the dual tasks of elevating and stabilizing the camera, resulting in pictures that are more in focus. Tripods are not necessarily for taking casual photographs, but they are all but essential when taking long-exposure pictures or when using a camera with a telephoto lens.

DSLR Lenses

Lenses are used to produce different types of shots from a camera. Zoom lenses allow you to focus on faraway objects, wide angle lenses increase the width of a shot, and macro lenses allow the camera to pick up a large amount of detail. All of these special lenses have specific situations in which they are useful, and storing a few in your camera bag can greatly increase the quality of photos that you take.

DSLR Lens Hood

The lens hood is placed at the end of the camera lens to block sunlight or other bright lights that might interfere with getting a perfect shot. The lens food looks like a solid black ring that screws onto the end of the camera lens. It can be unscrewed as necessary to allow more light in.

DSLR Lens Filters

Lens filters are used to achieve different effects on the finished photographs. Some allow only certain types of light - such as ultraviolet - to penetrate the camera, while others perform color correction or add tints to photographs. In modern digital photography, many of the same effects can be achieved through post-production alterations of a picture. However, some photographers still prefer the organic nature of lens filters.

DSLR Cable Release

The cable release replaces controls the shutter speed on digital cameras. In most shots, the shutter is open for just a second, allowing in just enough light to capture the photograph. However, in certain types of photography, it is necessary to leave the shutter open for a long time to create a longer exposure.

DSLR Bag

A camera bag is an important accessory for keeping your digital camera clean and protected when on the go. A padded bag can shield your camera from many common bumps and accidents. In addition, large camera bags are often outfitted with pockets to hold all your other accessories where you can easily reach them.

DSLR Cleaning Kit

A clean camera is a camera that performs to the best of its abilities. This is why cleaning kits are an essential addition to any list of digital camera accessories. These kits include soft cloths and gentle liquid cleaners that are safe for use around the delicate parts of a camera.

With the right accessories, you might be amazed by how much more professional your photographs look.

Microsoft makes source code of MS-DOS for public free access

The source code of the operating systems MS- DOS 1:25 and 2.0 and the word processor Word for Windows 1.1a can be viewed or downloaded from the website of the Computer History Museum. Microsoft handed over the source code for the benefit of future generation. With the handover of the source code if future generations can study the roots of the personal computing, Microsoft justifies his action.

The Museum in Mountain View, California, was previously also passed Apple's first DOS as well as the source of Adobe Photoshop 1.0. Microsoft's MS -DOS was commissioned by IBM. The future Windows manufacturer licensed the base of the operating system from Seattle Computer Products and developed it according to the wishes of the PC manufacturer IBM.

There it was delivered under the name PC -DOS on PCs. Other producers have launched the operating system under the name MS -DOS on their own computer. The entire assembler source code of PC-DOS 1.1 or MS- DOS includes only 1:25 300 Kbytes and 12 Kbytes needed in memory. PC-DOS 1.1 was released in May 1982, the appropriate version of MS- DOS 1:25 first appeared and in August of that same year it appeared on the double-sided diskette with 360 Kbytes.

MS- DOS 2.0 was released in March 1983, after Microsoft had largely developed the operating system. The device drivers were loaded individually, and save files in the newly created subdirectories. In addition, MS -DOS 2.0 supported 10 MB of hard drives stuffed in the PC - XT computer from IBM.

Word for Windows 1.1a was almost simultaneously published in November 1989 with Windows 2:11. It was next to Microsoft Excel and PageMaker, Adobe is one of the first applications for the fledgling operating system with graphical user interface. Meanwhile, the server of the Computer History Museum can be reached again and the source code can be downloaded. He is under a special license that allows you to compile and modify for a non commercial use.
