Test of the camera

I put my N8's video taping capabilities for a 15 minute test while on my drive to work this morning..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ag1jQh-byM
Since it's N8 related, I thought i'd share.. Though it has a nasty "tick tick tick" during the video..

I received two email replies (BriPhoto & Rob Cole) to my above post, which are now missing here. I only mentioned Auto WB because of this statement in your PDF posted here Shared Cat:
"Apply auto WB and Auto tone to an unmodified photo and note the changes.
Apply auto WB and tone to another photo with very different exposure and tone and note changes to confirm that changes are different and do depend on the content of the photo being operated on (assumption)."
You are now saying:
"However, in this case we are talking about the SAME raw file, imported from the camera's CF card twice. One is imported with no preset, then the Auto Tone preset applied, the other is imported with the Auto Tone preset set in the import module. Both files have the SAME WB setting (As Shot) and the same Temp and Tint, as you would expect. The only differences (in LR) are in the tonal values."
I repeated Import of the two copies of your 14BD3913 CR2 file (14BD3913.CR2, 14BD3913-2.CR2) following the above procedure. The Tone values are identical for both using LR5.7 on my Windows 7 SP1 system. I cannot duplicate your issue as outlined above.
Is this the Auto Tone preset you are using on Import?
Two other things you can try:
1) Reset your LR Preferences file:

2) If that doesn't correct the issue I would try uninstalling LR5.7.1, delete the LR Preferences file, and then reinstall LR5.7.1 using a fresh download.

Nikon D300 raw files, unable to retrieve the camera serial number!

Hi all,
I have just downloaded some D300 NEF files (camera firmware v. 1.2) onto my PC, and both Bridge and Camera Raw display NO camera serial number in all the shots! :-( And when I convert them in DNG, I still don't have any info on the nikon camera serial no. , why!? :-(
I opened them with EXIF tool and I tested that the camera serial is there in all the NEF's (and also JPEG) files.
I tried the NEF files from a Nikon D2X camera and, this time, the camera serial is read perfectly from both Bridge, Camera Raw and Lightroom (v. 1.4.1) too. Does someone have any hints!?
Thanks in advance! ;)

>then it's either a bug in the application or an application that ignores some very basic rules.
For as long as Photoshop has been around, any plug-in, with or without an extension will try to be loaded by Photoshop (as well as Bridge). Normal renaming of a plug-in or removing an extension will NOT eliminate Photoshop's ability to load them at startup.
There are certain symbols you can add to the front of a file name to prevent loading the plug-in. If you want to disable a plug-in on startup you'll need to add ¬ symbol as a leading character and that plug-in will be disabled.
This is neither a bug nor a failure of the application...it's a special situation that is a standard cross-platform method that Adobe apps have used for years (at least 18 years at this point with Photoshop).
So, while it may be obscure and obtuse, it's not the problem of Photoshop/Bridge since it's behaving as designed.
In testing various versions, I often have up to 1/2 dozen different versions of Camera Raw installed at one time. I use the ¬ symbol to disable all the version I don't want to load and make sure only 1 version is named normally.

How can we test the camera megapixel?

Hi All,
I need to know how can we test the camera megapixel?
For instance: If i have a 2MP camera how would i test it is 2MP, is there any measurement device or standards for mega pixel?

1600 x 1200 is 2mp not 1.3. Your friends phone must also be 2mp or the picture was taken on another phone.
It's easy to work out yourself.
1600 multiplied by 1200 = 1,9200,000 pixels more commonly known in the industry as 2mp.
1.3mp is 1280 x 960 (1,228,800 pixels).
More megapixels does not always equal better quality. The lens and software are also a big quality factor. I have seen many 1.3mp phones that take better pictures than a 2mp phone because they have a better lens.

When I try to use the Vision Acquisition vi, I get an error message saying that " The system did not receive a test packet from the camera."

Error -1074360271 occurred at IMAQdx Start Acquisition.vi
NI-IMAQdx: (Hex 0xBFF69031) The system did not receive a test packet from the camera. The packet size may be too large for the network configuration or a firewall may be enabled.

Bruce Ammons wrote:
Did you try disabling test packets? I know Basler cameras have a "Enable Test Packets" setting buried in Advanced Network settings or something like that. You have to change the setting in MAX to show all settings instead of just acquisition, then locate the setting. I have been told regularly that the setting must be turned off for Basler cameras to work properly. Perhaps your camera has the same setting and the same requirement.
Bruce
A very specific firmware revision for certain Basler cameras had an issue where the test packet would not be sent for certain packet sizes and certain specific conditions, causing a false report of a test packet failure when a normal acquisition would in fact succeed. However, this was fixed in later firmware revisions and I have never seen a similar issue on any other types of cameras.
Aside from this specific case, if a test packet fails, it generally means an acquisition will as well. Given that Pleora's software can acquire, we can rule out networking topology and hardware, assuming you are using the same packet size as the Pleora software is. The only other thing that would seem a likely candidate would be a software issue like a firewall or some other filter driver that is interefering with IMAQdx receiving the data.

recently recieved a second hand Iphone 4. I was testing the Camera, the rear one worked perfectly fine, however when i pressed the switch button the front facing camera shutter freezed and started flickering. In order to get it back to the rear camera I have to reset my settings. Does anyone know why the front facing camera is doing this and how i can fix it.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

I would ask the person you received it from if they've had this issue.
You can completely close out of the camera, then do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until yo usee the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

After iOS 5.1 update on iPhone 4, some of my pictures in the camera roll become pixelated after a crop edit?

I will elaborate. Lets say I save an image from a website. Then I go to the camera roll and edit crop it to make the image a tad bit smaller. Suddenly the images becomes pixelated and blocky. When I return to the image and tap the edit button, it becomes clear again and I can see the original picture. When I tap cancel, it goes back to beign pixelated/blocky. I tired restoring my phone to factory setting and losing all my data. That didn't work. As soon as I tested it, the same thing happened. I tried some weird method from www.iphoneincanada.ca an that didn't work either.
This is very annoying!

I have more info. I am using a program to look at the files on my iPhone. I did some testing and I came up with this. When a photo is edited ( in my case cropping) an image is created in the Metadata folder. The metadata folder is contained in a folder called PhotoData. For some reason, the cropped JPG is put within this metadata folder. The DCIM folder contains the "actual image" you saved from the internet or wherever. When a photo is edited in camer roll, a .XMP file is created for that image (Sometimes) and it's about 1kb. Coincidentally, the image that is pixelated DOES NOT have an .XMP file associated with it in the DCIM folder.
To conclude, it seems that the pictures that have a .XMP file associated with it in the DCIM folder does not come out as pixelated.
If there is a .XMP file then the photo in the Metadata folder become pixelated.

Iphoto will no longer recognize my camera, says it does not recognize the format....they are jpegs? And now it will not even open when I plug my Canon Eos Camera in to download. I have checked everything on the camera and it is working perfectly....

Iphoto will no longer open when attaching my Canon Eos Camera. I have checked the camera and everything is working perfecty. When I open it myself, Iphoto is working perfectly too. But now when I attach the camera, Iphoto no longer opens at all. Yesterday it did open after a really long wait but it kept saying that it did not recognize the "format" of the images....they were jpegs??? Then it flashed on and off and if I hit download at just the right second they would download. But today it won't work at all. Any suggestions.
thanks

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Running out of internal storage space! Want to make room by deleting photos WITHOUT LOSING MY PHOTOS! Can I delete the Camera Roll yet still keep my photos in Photo Stream?? Will doing this free up ios storage? Does Photo Stream auto delete ever?

Hello, I am out of internal storage on my Iphone 4 ALREADY (Just purchased 3 months ago!). I need to clear up some space so I can do updates and take new photos. I was thinking about backing up my Photo Stream to the icloud and then deleting my Camera Roll.
1.) Is this a terrible idea??? I do NOT want to lose those photos! But I NEED more space on my phone!
2.) Will deleting Camera Roll free up space (a sufficient amount? My Camera Roll is at 4.5 GB)?
3.) Will deleting Camera Roll delete my photos from Photo Stream also? It doesn't seem to.
4.) Does Photo Stream ever automatically delete photos???
5.) Is there anyway I can save the pictures from my phone to my computer??? I can see the photos on my computer when viewing them through Photo Stream, but those are not permanent, correct?
This is one of the most ridiculous, confusing and unnessacary things I've ever known! Why oh why can't we just have a good ol' SD Card??? (My Droid never ever ran out of storage and I had it for 2 years...)
I tried backing up my photos in Itunes, but I don't have a new enough version. I tried downloading a new itunes and it still tells me I don't have the new version.
I have been working on this for 4 hours, its 2:30 am and I am going to bed. I am sorry I had to ask, but I've been searching and searching and just cannot find the answers. Thank you so much for your help!
6.) Also, I haven't been able to find the videos using the Icloud or the Photo Stream either...
7.) Do you have to have your device (pc) synced with icloud to access the info you backed up from iphone?? Like can I show my cousin my photos at her house using her computer by just loggin on??? Or can I only view my contacts, calender, mail, notifications, and such?
8.) Where on the icloud would one find text messages or other saved info??
Thank you so very much for helping me!!!

What I would say is best is to import the videos and photos to your computer so that you can delete camera roll photos with a copy of them in your possession:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
In regards to backing up Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486:
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
"No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage."
However, you can do the tedious task of moving your camera roll pictures to photo stream by ensuring photo stream is turned on for your device and take a screen shot of each picture in your camera roll to move it over.
To take a screen shot, just press the "Home Button" and the "Sleep/Wake Button" at the same time while viewing the image.
1.) It's not a terrible idea, it can be tedious though.
2.) Deleting a bunch of photos/videos from a camera roll 4.5GB in size can definitely free up space
3.) Photo Stream photos, as you said, appear to stay upon deleting the photos. (Tested it personally)
4.) Photo Stream has a limit according to: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858)
Essentially, it won't erase your photos until you tell it to.
5.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083 (As shown above)
6.) To update iTunes, you must download and then "Run" the download you get off the website. Otherwise you will just have an installer program sitting there not updating iTunes.
7.) You can bring up your Photo Stream pictures anywhere you have Photo Stream capabilities. For a computer at someone else's house, they would have to have the iCloud control panel (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455) on their computer and be signed into their Photo Stream and viewing your profile's pictures (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379)
8.) On iCloud, you can backup your text messages, but you cannot view them independently on www.icloud.com.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
"You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails"
Hope some of this information helps!

CK71 suddenly hang when taking a picture using the camera

Hi team, The customer is using the CK71 with camera option.
OS is. 1.61.22.72.
Our partner developed the camera application based on Intermec source file according to the IDL(Multimedia Resource Kit).
Regarding the source that the partner tested, I attached the zip file including the DotNetCF 3.5.
Also, I attached the CNxDShow.CAB that we have to install first for operating the camera. The symptom is... when taking the picture again and again in light environment and in dark environment by turns, suddenly CN70 hang. For restoring, we should remove the battery and install it again for rebooting.
But, the customer hates the removing and reinstalling the battery. To reproduce the symptom....
1. Copy all file under the folder "\FullSreenCameraCNx\FullSreenCameraCNx\bin\Debug" and paste them into the device.
2. Copy the CNxDShow.CAB and paste into the device.
3. Install the CNxDShow.CAB first
4. Create new folder "\My Documents\My Pictures" on the device, if the device doesn't have the name of the folder
5. Execute the FullScreenCameraCNx.exe on the device by clicking
6. Try taking a picture by pushing the enter key in light/dark environment by turns again and againIn our trouble shooting,
The application put the log file when taking a picture.
the location of the log is under the folder "Flash File Store\Log\Device_Conncet".
Normal log is...
===================================
2015-06-30 5:2:31 Camera Shot S
2015-06-30 5:2:31 Camera Shot E
2015-06-30 5:2:33 Start
2015-06-30 5:2:33 Shot Result : Ok : \My Documents\My Pictures\SnapShot-5.jpg

2015-06-30 4:58:1 Start
2015-06-30 4:58:1 Snapshot failed
===================================But, Abnormal log when Device hang suddenly is ...
No "Start" or No "Snapshot failed" like the below.

2015-06-30 5:5:35 Camera Shot S
2015-06-30 5:5:35 Camera Shot E
===================================Please see the logfile in the 20150630.txt that I attached additionally.
The thing that we are feeling that it was strange is....
in the source, if invoked "Cam.Snapshot(CurrentResolution)", "Cam_SnapshotEvent" should be called. But, when we experienced the "Device Hang" during taking the pictures, I guess that "Cam_SnapshotEvent" were not called. I copied and pasted the some part of source that I want to highlight like the below.
============================================================//---------------------------------------------------
// make snapshot
bool AcceptingEnter = true; //for eliminating repeating enter keydown events...
void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
if (e.KeyData == Keys.Enter && AcceptingEnter == true)
AcceptingEnter = false;
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Camera Shot S");
Cam.Snapshot(CurrentResolution);
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Camera Shot E");
e.Handled = true;
// Received snapshot event
void Cam_SnapshotEvent(object sender, Camera.SnapshotArgs sna)
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Start");
if (sna.Status != Camera.SnapshotStatus.Ok)
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Snapshot failed");
MessageBox.Show("Snapshot failed");
else
log_Entity.write_Log(1, " Shot Result : " + sna.Status + " : " + sna.Filename);
============================================================ Can anyone provide the information or solution why the CK71 suddenly hang and how to avoid the "device hang"? Best Regards,
Kim, Hyun Wook

Sony Z1 Compact... why is the camera so poor? Comparison shots within.

The Good...
I picked up a Sony Z1 Compact the other day, and am so far absolutely in love woth it. The speed and responsiveness are fantastic, the build quality rivals that of the iPhone, and the size is just perfection.
The Bad...
But... I am VERY dissappointed with the camera and its poor performance. 80% of the photos I take with my phone are while on a night out with friends, usually in bars or other more dimly lit places than broad daylight. In Auto mode, photos taken in the average pub lightning are unuseable,m and look so artifical as to completely destroy any detail in the faces of the people I snap. I have also experimented with manual settings, but still the quakity is just plain poor. In fact, mny Samsung Galaxy S III blows it out of the water in this regard, images in similar conditions are much superior.
The Ugly...
So why is this camera, a camera that uses what is theoretically a high-quality imaging unit used by point and shoot cameras, so bad in everything except broad daylight?
The answer according to not only my observations, but the observations of many professional websites who reviewed the Z1 series, is seems to be that Sony are purposefully and inexplicably messing with the final images by forcing huge amounts of processing on them. This takes a natural image, messes with the colours and tone, and then proceeds to crush any detail.
Here are some samples of what I mean, taken with Superior Auto:
Sample 1: Z1 Compact
A close-up portrait shot...
Look at how artificial that image looks... it's like someone applied a strange kind of gaussian blur tool in photoshop.
Sample 2 - Z1 Compact
A group photo...
Here again, in what was one of the better photos that I took, we see the find detail is very poor.. at full size it looks horrible pixellated, and the colours severely washed out. The blacks are also severely crushed.
Sample 3 - Z1 Compact
Here is a shot that should in theory be detailed and natural looking. A guy near a wall in better light, with the camera held perfectly still.
Again, a horrible image... bad detail, visible artifacting, washed out colours.
Sample 4 - Z1 Compact
In addition, using the flash causes severe light pollution on the final image, so much so that the bottom half of the photo I take has a very noticeable purpley bluish haze on it.
Look at the level of bleed entering the scene from the flash below the lens. And look at the dreadful overall image quality... the detail is simply shockingly bad. Like a camera phone from years ago.
Samsung Galaxy S III Comparisons...
And here we have some comparison photos with a Samsung SIII, also taken in a dimply lit pub:
Sample 1 - Samsung Galaxy S III
Look at the difference... detail is preserved, the image appears natural, and colour tones are reasonably natural. It's a great shot.
Sample 2 - Samsung Galaxy S III
Again, here we see that the photo is much cleaner... flash lights up the subjkects as well as can be expected considering the size and power, and the colours and detail are preserved, including in the surrounding environment where the coloured lights at the top are also visible.
Sample 3 . Samsung Galaxy S III
And finally, a close-up portrai-style shot...
Again, not the easiest of conditions for a phont, but overall detail is good, the face is clearly visible, and the photo looks clean and detailed as you could hope for in the circumstances.
WINNER: SAMSUNG GALAXY S III
Conclusion...
Sorry Sony, but this level of imaging is just not acceptable on a premium device with such a high spec sensor in it. I have had better results fron devices that are 2-3 years old. Oh yes, and that's including the video camera mode which has no 24p or 60p options... come on Sony, there is a Snapdragon 800 SOC in this phone, use it.
I really hope you are going to take a serious look at this and fix it.

Wow thanks guys... it seems a LOT of people have noticed this issue. I also saw one guy with exactly the same problem as me with the flash http://www.android-hilfe.de/7156334-post40.html
The question is: how on earth did none of the Sony designers see this issue? It seems to me that someone must have seen it, but too late in the design process, so they just kept it like this and are going to pretend ignorance.
I just did the same test as inside-handy.de where I cover the flash completely and then take a picture, and the light bleeds very badly into the lens, so I guess my phone is badly affected.
I do not expect such a badly designed camera and flash system on such a premium device, and we cannot be expected to live with such a fatal flaw in a phone which is marketed as a pure camera phone.
EDIT - It seems the press are now aware and will be following this up... hopefully Sony will make a response soon when they see the overwhelming evidence http://www.inside-handy.de/news/30330-led-erzeugt-farbiges-leuchten-auf-bildern-sony-xperia-z1-compa...

I can"t open the apple hardware test from the applecare support website

i received the applecare training program for my birthday and while exploring the applecare service source website i found a image file of the apple hardware test (AHT) for each model along with a pdf of the service manual and a pdf of the AHT service codes. The problem i'm having is, i cant open the image of the AHT.

After downloading that image, open it and it will show up mounted in your desktop. Then, open Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities), right-click your Apple Hardware Test image in the sidebar and burn it to a DVD. Finally, start your computer from the disc, holding the C key, so Apple Hardware Test should start, always that you have the correct version for your computer.
You have Apple Hardware Test in the Applications disc that came with the computer. In that case, hold the D key while your computer is starting

HT4640 Adding a video clip to a keynote presentation - do I have to keep the original video on the camera roll?

I have several keynote presentations that are missing their video clips. Does the original video clip need to stay on the camera roll after you embed it in the presentation? I thought not, because when you add a video, a message comes up saying "compressing video" before it gets added. That made me think that a special compressed version of the original video is made and saved along with the presentation. I've tried testing this by creating a new presentation, adding a video clip to it and then deleting the original video from the camera roll and the video clip in the presentation was not affected. You'd think if the clip were linked to a presentation, that iOS would warn you before you delete it from the camera roll. But I can't think of any other reason why the clips would suddenly be missing from all my keynote presentations.

You can do this with iMovie '06, but not with iMovie '08. You should have iMovie '06 still on your hard disk if you upgraded from iLife '06, or you can download it for free from Apple. Under Editing -> Video Effects, you will find the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect that will do this.

Does this support AVCHD files straight from the camera (Panasonic)??

Does the new final cut pro X support AVCHD files from the camera? I record with a Panasonic AG-HMC40.
Thank you

FCPX doesn't import AVCHD files from my Panasonic GH-2, even though importing works perfectly into iMovie. So just because camera X imports natively into iMovie, it isn't certain it will import natively into FCPX.
iMovie archives will always import because the AVCHD has already been converted to ProRes on import.
In FCPX the AVCHD files from say a GH-2 can be edited natively if you don't want to re-render into ProRes, but to date I can't import them to test this.
Chris.
