Nikon Picture Control System (PCS) Part 1
Today, heard some of my colleagues discussing about picture of cxxxx look more interesting and attractive compared to Nikon.
I am totally disagree and in this blog, I would like to explain the basic tuning of the powerful SPC from all Nikon dSLR.
Nikon PCS has total of 6 type of picture controls:- Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Potrair, Landscape and Monochrome. In each PC, you can tune up to 5 parameters:- Sharpnening, Contrast, Brightness, Saturation and Hue.
You know best of what kind of feel of picture to be given to viewer, it affects the viewer's emotion as well.
Look at the grid below to understand what is the default setting for each picture control on the contrast and saturation. You may create up to 9 customize picture control at your own preference.
For example, I took this photo with STANDARD
By choosing VIVID and tune the contrast and saturation by +3, the same picture give total different feel. Seems attractive huh??
Let's look at another example, I took this with STANDARD.
If I chose VIVID and tune the contrast and saturation by +3, here how it looks,
Looks more lively?? But in fact, it losses lot of details!!
The dark area totally blown out! No detail!
Believe it or not? The size for STANDARD is 1.22MB while the VIVID is 1.35MB!! Increases by 10% more!! Which means you actually need more space to get NO/LESSER detail... sigh!

Visit to Nikon PJ
Amy and I paid a visit to Nikon PJ to fine tune the AF assembly. From my previous post, my D7k had a back-focus issue and now solved!!

Nikon D7000 continuous burst (6fps) with SB-700
Tonight, decided to put D7000 for highest continuous burst with SB-700. It is useful if I want to shoot actions in low light situation.
I set the image quality to fine and basic. While the shooting mode is continuous high (CH). This video, i recorded with my compact camera (Olympus u1030), the burst captured 20 pics! I believe it can go up to 30 frames (or more) before slowing down.
I am yet to test out the autofocus capability in real scene. Looking forward with it!!

Does scientist admit God exist? Yet they confirm 2012?
I personally no comment on this article but it is interesting to share.
科學家終於確定了2012
……我們會在3天的0度空間中度過，當然這會死很多人……:(
科學家終於確定了2012不是末日
只不過是地球進入了光子帶，但在完全進入的一瞬間，我們會在3天的0度空間中度過，當然這會死很多人
磁極顛倒
3度空間退到0度空間，無疑是毀滅，但迎來的是嶄新的世界，有很多很多人會在那3天中存活下來
那3天正是太陽系，在光子帶中發生的巨大的化學變化，人類體内原子也將重新組合，迎來了4度空間第5個紀元
個人理解；瑪雅人說的不是世界末日，他明明寫的是" 2012年12月21日的黑夜來臨，12月22日的黎明不會到來"
想必瑪雅人也是與我們生活在一個空間，他自然無法預測4度空間的事情了，而且12月22日沒有白天。
但3天後，差不多是聖誕，白天就會來的! 12種預言都紀錄了2012是不平凡的一年。
聖經密碼、推背圖、台灣瑪雅語、小孩藏僧、乃至雙魚到水瓶的過渡时間```都表明了這一切
最真實的該是美國NASA太空總署的調查了，在1960年發現遠處有一團星體(其實就是光子帶)
在前幾年發現2012將會發生生南北磁極颠倒
在2011年會發生生4次日蝕```
我們生活在第4個世紀與第5個世紀的交界
我們應該感到驕傲
3度空間到4度空間最需要的就是人類精神的力量
但願
我會活下來
目睹這一刻...3天的黑暗
人類的進化，光的時代，4度空間 ，一切聽起來好像一部科幻小說，不過是真是假無所謂。到2012就一切都知道了，死不死又怎麼樣 ?進入光子時代也會死，只不過肉身不會腐爛罷了，如果是真的，我真感謝生活在這個年代，話說回來，人類是該進化了。
科學家們認定2012年為太陽分子活躍巅峰、期間可能造成全球通訊癱瘓。科技可能倒退幾十年、甚至更嚴重的後果。不管真也好、假也罷。趁着社會還美好、多陪陪家人、朋友。當然、還有你的戀人。現在開始、珍惜身邊的人吧。不要像電影裡那樣、瞬間什麼都沒有了。
看完的轉載吧、讓身邊更多的人知道。↑
