    C J C GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR EOS-1 CLASS DIGITAL SLR TIPS AND TECHNIQUES: CAMERA HANDLING & MAXIMUM IMAGE QUALITY OVERVIEW Canon’s EOS-1 class digital SLRs (EOS-1D, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D Mark II and EOS-1Ds Mark II) are clearly the company’s highest quality and most powerful digital SLRs to date. Thanks to their key attributes of EF Lens compatibility, Canon CMOS sensor technology and DIGIC/DIGIC II Image Processors, EOS-1 class digital SLRs produce images with exceptionally low noise, excellent detail and superb color. As with any professional camera system, there are numerous variables in camera operation, lens selection and image quality optimization that must be clearly understood and mastered by the user in order to achieve the best possible results. The purpose of this document is to identify the factors that affect the autofocus (AF) performance and image quality aspects of EOS-1 class digital SLRs, and provide tips and techniques on getting the most out of this powerful camera and lens system. We have intentionally provided detailed explanations to clarify the reasoning behind our recommendations, but at the beginning of the document there is also a brief summary of the main points for your convenience. Thank you for using Canon products! We want you to know that we sincerely appreciate your patronage. OVERVIEW 2 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE Camera Operation Tips Select focusing points manually: Selecting the focusing point manually speeds up the autofocus system because the camera does not have to decide which focus point or points to use. Manual focusing point selection also allows you to control exactly where the camera is focusing.

  • Getting the Right Gear
    Chapter 1 Getting the Right Gear In This Chapter ▶ Picking the right camera for the job ▶ Complementing your camera with accessories ports and action photography is like most things in Slife — if you want to be the best at it, you need to have the best gear. Luckily for you, lots of options are available when determining the best gear based on your level of experi- ence and expertise. In this chapter, I help you determine what you’re going to need — including what type of camera and any necessary accessories — based on what you plan on photographing and how comfortable you are behind the lens. The Internet contains a wealth of information, but nothing beats asking other photographers what they’re using. You can share in their camera jubilation or avoid the same pitfalls that they fell into by purchasing that “bargain” point-and-shoot camera that didn’t turn out to be such a bargain after all. ChoosingCOPYRIGHTED the Best Camera MATERIAL for the Job at Hand Whether you’ll be taking photographs at your daughter’s soccer game or trying to make a career out of sports photography, having the right camera for the situation will make all the difference. In the past, very few affordable cameras could capture action as well as the pro’s gear. However, today’s market is full of completely viable options, 003_9781118385302-ch01.indd3_9781118385302-ch01.indd 3 88/31/12/31/12 11:51:51 PMPM 4 Sports & Action Photography In A Day For Dummies from professional dSLRs (digital single-lens reflex), to compact point-and-shoots that you can take everywhere you go, to smartphones with surprisingly impressive cameras good for the candid shots on the go.

Introduction Today’s point-and-shoot cameras are convenient, simple, and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Stash one in your jacket pocket and you won’t miss a moment. Advances in camera technology now enable image capture at faster speeds. Some have bells and whistles specifically tailored to the needs of photographers—from built-in waterproof casings to in-camera panorama stitching. Manufacturers offer several models, from simple to sophisticated, to meet a wide variety of picture-taking needs. But with all the digital cameras out there, how do you even begin to pick the one that’s right for you? First consider budget. Point-and-shoot cameras range from $79 on upwards to $800. A lower-priced camera might have all the basic features you need. Or, you might want to invest more for a camera with beefy manual controls.

The grey cloud is low, and the rain is steady, but the muted light is just perfect for the subject matter all around me, namely waves lapping around the artfully sculpted blocks of ice on the black sand. Now I’ve seen many images of this unique combination before – it’s an Icelandic photographic staple – but there’s no resisting the appeal of such stark, elemental beauty. In fact it’s a beauty that is enhanced by the flat lighting, a cold scene of black and blue with simple graphic appeal. But as so often is the case here in Iceland the conditions are difficult: apart from the rain, salty spray is being driven inshore off the waves and onto my increasingly crusty camera, lens and filter. So be it, such adversity is now familiar.

    Electronic trigger for capacitive touchscreen and extension of ISO 15781 standard time lag measurements to smartphones François-Xavier Bucher, Frédéric Cao, Clément Viard, Frédéric Guichard DxO Labs, 3 rue Nationale, 92100 Boulogne Billancourt, FRANCE ABSTRACT We present in this paper a novel capacitive device that stimulates the touchscreen interface of a smartphone (or of any imaging device equipped with a capacitive touchscreen) and synchronizes triggering with the DxO LED Universal Timer to measure shooting time lag and shutter lag according to ISO 15781:2013. The device and protocol extend the time lag measurement beyond the standard by including negative shutter lag, a phenomenon that is more and more commonly found in smartphones. The device is computer-controlled, and this feature, combined with measurement algorithms, makes it possible to automatize a large series of captures so as to provide more refined statistical analyses when, for example, the shutter lag of “zero shutter lag” devices is limited by the frame time as our measurements confirm. Keywords: Image quality evaluation, Smartphone, Capacitive touchscreen, Shutter release time lag, Shutter lag, Shooting time lag, Latency, Autofocus speed 1. INTRODUCTION Most users expect to capture the image they see when pressing the camera trigger, but most cameras have a noticeable delay between the moment the trigger is pressed and when the image is actually captured. This delay is particularly noticeable in candid, spontaneous, and action or sports photography. Shooting time lag is the delay between the time the shutter is pressed and the time the image is acquired. The delay is caused by many-time consuming control operations within the camera such as auto-exposure, autofocus, and stabilization start-up.
