Does the Z1 use pixel binning when shooting at 8MP shots?

Hi,
I have a question with the camera. I want to shoot at 4:3 resolution (I don't really like 16:9 so I don't shoot at Superior Auto) but I am thinking which resolution would be better. So I am wondering, when you are shooting at 8MP 4:3 compared to 20MP, does it do pixel binning to take advantage of the 20MP Sensor? Can you shoot in Scene Auto mode at 8MP 4:3 resolution instead of 16:9?
Or maybe just in general, what setting do you have in Manual mode that produces the best results? (Sorry I really don't want to use the Superior Auto as it saves images in 16:9 which doesn't really display nicely in Facebook)

There's nothing wrong with your phone

Does the adapter use power when there's no phone connected?

Hi all,
I was wondering: Does the Apple poweradapter consume electricity, when there's no iPhone (or iPad etc.) connected to it?
I leave my adapters and cables in a poweroutlet all the time, which I can turn off but I was just curious about this. I read different things all over the internet, so I thought it would be best to ask my question here.
I have the original Apple 10W adapters, with the lightning usb cable, iPhone 5 and iPad 4. I live in The Netherlands by the way, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
Stefan

Wall adapters do use a very small amount ... but it is miniscule, and not worth considering. Though I suppose there would be an unacceptable loss in 'green' eyes if there were 10,000 of them connected.

Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to do is view it ?

My local computer shop solved the problem. Apparently when you download cloud it changes a lot of settings.
So second issue.
Why do I now get asked to burn to disc rather than saving to my hard drive when I want to export from Lightroom ?

Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

Many mysteries...
Which is your OS version ?
Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The problem appeared after having worked normally.
When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button. The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 640 x 480 (very unusable).
That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was. Cannot find any properties window for the editor?
The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
iMessages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Music library database index (but not the music itself)
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

Make sure that both the web browser you're using and its Flash plug-in are up to date. Google Chrome has its own Flash plug-in it updates on its own. Firefox, IE and other have separate plug-ins.

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick?

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.
Background / other symptoms:
The Flash drive in question has been formatted HFS.
I get no error messages, including on the Console, and no sound indicators.
I can copy files, using the Finder, from a hard-drive to the usb flash drive with no problem.
Finder copying on this stick works just fine on my other Mac.
I can move files within another (FAT32-formatted) USB flash drive.
The quirky USB HFS Flash drive works fine on my other Mac.
Outside of the Finder, I can use mv just fine to move the files on the HFS flash drive.
If the HFS-formatted Flash drive were faulty, I would at least expect some sort of error in the Console app, but perhaps not from the Finder.

Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

The spinning beach ball of death (SBBOD) can be caused by many things. Common causes are not enough RAM, insufficient HD space or another process using a lot of the CPU's power. You can open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) for many things including the %CPU column to see if there is an app using a large %CPU. Also click the System Memory tab and see how much FREE RAM it shows. As a general rule your system should have 500MB or more available.
Finally I'd recommend reading and using the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article for additonal troubleshooting steps.

Does the iphone cpu frequency change when the cpu load is different?

Does the iphone cpu frequency change when the cpu load is different, or it does not change, stay a fixed frequency? if it changes, how can i get the realtime cpu frequency?if anyone knows,please tell me, thank you so much!!!

As a general, historical statement Tonefox is correct. For certain particular cpus woodmeister is correct. Cpus have historically been single frequency units, though over-clocking has been done for several years. Doing so pushes the cpu beyond its guaranteed speed, but has tended to work since most cpus from quality vendors will actually operate at higher speeds. The manufacturer just does not guarantee the results...remember the Pentium fiasco in the early years of that chip? Today manufacturers are ceertifying particular product lines for over-clocking on a periodic basis. And that is what dynamic clocking really is, over-clocking but not at a constant clock speed as has been done in the past.
Much of the silicon on the market will function at higher clock rates, the only question is does the maker guarantee the accuracy and performance at those clock rates.

The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.
