Flat lens HDR AS-15

Hello world!

I bought my Sony Action Cam for a month there, and in general I'm very happy with it, although I think that Sony should release an another Firmware update with a higher throughput (16 MB/S for 1080/30 p is simply too weak). I have noticied that my videos are almost impossible to observe in some areas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCEC2TjPekY @ 04:51 for example) due to the effect of the Sun. I think that this is due to the curved lens. The flat lens will solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

We appreciate your comments, and it will be forwarded to our team of engineers for review.

A flat lens, such as the door AKA - RD1, will not eliminate the issue you encountered. This door guarantees bright colors when shooting underwater, so glare in the videos will not consider. It is recommended that you change the shooting angle to avoid direct sun to wash directly your sequences.

  • Need to create and adjustment layer to compensate for the unwanted hue caused by lens

    I'm looking for help to set up an adjustment layer to compensate for a specific lens coloring problem. Basically, I use a GoPro (on a drone) but I got a flat lens of spare parts. The sharpness is good, but the lens has a well-known problem: it translates into a pink coloring around the edges/corners. Most of the time it is barely perceptible, sometimes he jumps. It also depends on the screen, that I use for example. My TV seems to bring out a lot more than my laptop.

    Here's an example - look at around 0:35 0:40 http://vimeo.com/117790732

    And to try to get an idea where the question is on the frame, I took a picture of the example of the grass Frost, very early in the morning. I then crank up the saturation to 100% and this is what it looks like:

    Frosty Grass for Adj Layer.jpg

    I would like to be able to compensate for this. This should probably do with an adjustment in Photoshop layer that I can then import in Premier Pro. Can anyone advise as to how to do?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Since any change in RGB channels influence the tonal scale, perhaps to the laboratory, with m/g-b/y juxtaposition and distinct tone level would be a logical choice. Here, a few sweeping curves (and a rough mask, sorry about that) need to be addressed.

    The adjustment layer that results can be changed in the opacity according to the saturation of the chromatic aberration.

    EDIT: Posted quickly. End of shadow of channel tweak L. red dot needs a white dot in the mask to eliminate].

  • ActionCam blurs photos underwater housing?

    I noticed a marked decline in sharpness with underwater images with the Actioncam. With the GoPro, it's the same thing until they went with a flat front and not curved, port on the front that we have with Actioncams (and GoPro had with their first generation).

    Is there the chance of an upgrade or new box with a flat port? Or is there a third-party customization of the casing to produce sharper images under water?

    For better clarity and focus, it is recommended to use the flat door to coverage of the UW, AKS-RD1A which is part of the door of replacement set AKA - RD1.

    You can see how it improves the focus when using the cam of action under water on this small sample video: provided comparison is case UW and AKA - RD1 flat lens

  • After hdr pro, LR does not have lens correction correct.

    When I take pictures with my Canon ESF objective USM 15-85, LR4 acknowledges the lens and will be automatically correct. However, if I take several pictures with this lens, open to LR4 and transfer to CS5 hdr pro, when I transfer to LR4, LR4 does not list this lens as an option for the correction of the goal. I can the corrrect product hdr lens in CS5 before transfer back to LR. Which is the best solution, or I do something wrong in LR4? Should I lens correct each frame in LR4 before transfereing CS5 HDR Pro? Moreover, I had the same problem with LR3.

    DT

    The goal is not listed because you reimport a file (TIFF or PSD not RAW) which could have originated or been rendered with the incorrect correction.  Another example of this is that the choice of lens correction differ between CR2 and JPEG.

    I apply lens correction to HDR and panoramas before editing in CS5, but try to minimize other develop to ensure the consistency of the handover.  A relevant light bracket with panoramas, which might not be relevant to you and certainly are pedantic, strict accuracy try to avoid adjustments that are Adaptive image (in black LR4, white, highlight, shadow) to develop before yielding to the CS5 because the strength of the adjustment varies with the content of the image. that is the same setting of the cursor has a different effect in an image of sky dominated than on a dominated shadow image light.

  • HDR-AS15 in 3D?

    GoPro has developed a stereoscopic box for their Hero2 camera a few years ago. It turned out to be quite popular, but it is no longer manufactured (and none is available for Hero3).

    3D has declined in popularity some time ago, but the Rift of the Oculus is fast making it popular again.

    I've actually used a pair of cameras Sony HDR-AS15 for 3D by placing a pair of cameras side by side and just synchronize the images manually with a synchronization signal. It works very well and looks quite amazing, especially in 60 fps!

    Get firmly aligned cameras turned a bit problematic. In addition, it would be great if the cameras could better sync.

    Maybe Sony could design and release a 3D for the HDR-AS15 housing owner, like the GoPro 3D?

    Basically, the HDR-AS15 housing 3D could:

    • accommodate two cameras HDR-AS15, side by side, remote of 65 mm (65 mm human average = RPI = best stereoscopy), firmly aligned
    • Provide a tripod mounting screw hole
    • Allow access to the stereo microphone (I guess we should have both a raincoat and a 'skeleton' 3D housing available as separate products?)
    • Includes a sync cable, between the Sony camera communication ports, to keep the two synchronized cameras (you will get an extra bonus if you can keep even the phases of CMOS sensor, exposure and balance of whites in sync!)

    I have, on the one hand, would immediately buy this.

    I am aware that there are some real 3D camcorders, but they have their own limitations: too narrow, IPD, too narrow field of view (and no available fisheye lens) and so on.

    Thanks for sharing this post. I don't know the workaround solution that you shared with us will help those who want to use the cam action for the registration of the 3D sequences.

    The HDR-AS15 doesn't have any 3D native ability to date, we are more than happy to send your comments to the appropriate Department. We place a very high value on feedback from our customers because it allows us to continue to improve. Thanks again and have a wonderful day.

  • Camcorders that can adapt to a lens wide angle?

    Can someone help me please? I'm looking for a camcorder wherein I can fit a lens wide angle to cover a wider area. can someone tell me what are the camcorders sony I can set a goal wide angle. Also I would like to know what lens wide angle corresponds to this particular model. On a side note, I already have a CX380 HDR, but it seems I can't attach a lens wide angle as it has no son. Thanks for your help.

    I discuss with a representative and it gave me these two links. It gives you the lens and compatible camcorders that work with the lens. Hope this helps other too.

  • HDR-AS15

    I am looking to buy a HDR-AS15 but have a few questions: what is the diameter of the lens? The number of megapixels & it supports calls 720 p video? Thank you!

    Hi SonyinCA,

    Diameter of the lens is functionally referred to as focal length. For HDR-AS15, f = 2.5 mm (1/8 in.) the conversion of a 35 mm camera and for movies: 15.3 mm (5/8 in.). Always Max Effective Image resolution: 2.0 megapixel. It does not support video calls.

  • Filter for Canon L lens

    I just got my first Canon L lens and after some research, I decided not to buy a UV filter as protection for the front glass element.  Then I can read the presentation (B & H) for the EF 16-45 mm F/4 L, which States that "when paired with an optional filter to Protect, this lens also features a dust and water resistant construction for use under adverse conditions. So now I'm confused: why a $1,200 L lens does need a "Protect filter? By "adverse conditions", what do mean?  Should all lenses L be fitted with a protective filter?  What would be a 'protective filter' recommended?  I'd appreciate some advice on this because I want to protect my investment in my L lens and consider making a recommended.

    Some 'L' series lenses are waterproof.  If you see a black silicone gasket to the mounting flange back, then chances are it's a goal and waterproof.  But you have to read the instructions for each specific objective know what it means.  A few lenses indicates that they are only waterproof only if a protection filter is attached.

    Weather sealing means that the lens is usually sealed against dust, rain and spray - but it is important to remember that this does NOT mean that the lens is "tight".  They are not sealed against water under pressure.  If you blast it with a spear of fire... you will probably get water inside.  Similarly, they will flee if submerged.  There is "underwater camera housings" available when you need the camera & the goal of being ready to go under the water.

    Furthermore, just because a lens is weather-sealed does not mean that the body of the camera is waterproof.  Only some camera body get weather sealing and the level of treatment varies.  Usually, intermediate and superior camera tend to have at least one treatment of the weather sealing, but even in this case, there are some obvious gaps.  The door of the memory card and battery door are two examples of places that have no weather seals.

    Other than that... There are a few downsides to having a UV filter.

    First of all, the camera has an internal UV filter, so the second filter does not really offer help in this Department.

    Second, a flat glass filter, it is able to create nice reflections that can be seen by the camera.  This can create 'ghosts' reflections and other effects undesirable undersireable.  The use of filters with anti-glare coatings will substantially reduce this problem, but these filters cost a bit more.  Also, they will simply 'reduce' substantial reflections but do not guarantee that you get no thoughts at all.

    The glass itself is durable enough.  Be gentle with it when clean you and you will never have a problem (use a soft 'clean' microfibre cloth).  The sun visor (even if you are not trying to protect from the glare) actually helps keep something striking the glass.  The hood is probably better protection than a UV filter.

  • Better lens for pictures of products - EOS Rebel T3i?

    Hello

    I have a Canon EOS T3i rebel I use strictly for product photography. We take the photo package and unpack the company/treats pet food; they come in the plastic support sleeves, overlays and blisters. Must ensure that all written content is readable and capture all the details when you take pictures of small Articles of decompressed. Is there any lens that I could use for the two pictures of the packaging and get all the details of the unwrapped items?

    I appreciate your advice!

    I advise to use the Macro USM lens EF-S 60mm f/2.8 and install good tripod.  I use my tripod to shoot macros by reversing the center column and by changing the length of leg to tilt the column of the Center for the best light.

          

    A macro lens is different from a classic lens in several ways.  One, a macro lens generally have a short minimum focus distance.  Two, a macro will also have a great value for the minimum opening.  A value as high as f / 40 s is not uncommon.

    The reason for the higher f/stop parameters is due to the short depth of field you can get when you work at close distances.  I use higher values of f/stop to "extend" my DOF for a quarter of an inch or less, an inch or two or more.  The compromise is that narrower opening requires more light, in order to maintain the ISO required within reasonable limits.

    Another difference that comes to mind, it is how a macro lens focuses.  A standard lens will focus on objects at a certain distance from the lens.  When you move the center of the field of vision, the focal distance remains constant, that translates into a "development plan" which is curved.

    A macro lens is focused on a flat surface.  This is useful if you are Imaging old photos, instead of their scanning.  Instead get the good development in the Center and have it drop moving you to the outer edge of the frame, a macro lens will capture the entire flat photo in perfect focus.

    I hope this helps.  It is a "Juevos Rancheros", BTW.

  • HDR-AS15 - blur takes over the screen

    Hey,.

    I recently bought the actioncam AS15-HDR.
    Recently I had a weird problem, when I record things on my camera, 10-15 minutes after I start to record the screen gets blury, really blury, you don't see anything on the screen at the end of 30 minutes.
    When I restart the camera, looks like he's ok, but once again, 10-15 minutes of recording good and then the blur is back.

    Any suggestions?
    concerning

    This can be caused by fogging of the lens? You use the camera within the marine species?

Then go to Setup and select ' save the new default profile lens. Don't know how you can determine which lens model you actually. See if it is engraved somewhere on the lens or the serial number.

  • HDR

    I tried to produce HDR composites with the MM Leica DNG files, but do not appear to be exploitable results. HDR only works with colors?

    Jim I worked with the OP (Jim Stewart) at this link Re: LR/ACR Pano merger combining Glitch to identify a similar problem with the merger of Panorama using a Leica M9 camera. You can access this answer in the post referenced, which explains what is happening. Since Leica M Series cameras do not electronically with the lens, LR 'calculates' the opening of the As Shot busing the measured brightness, shutter speed and the ISO setting in the EXIF data. The aperture value calculated for one or more image files may be incorrect, leading to problems with images multiple functions like merge to panorama or HDR. This was supposed to be fixed in LR 6.4 and CC 2015.4.

  • a canon ef 50mm f3.5 lens kit enough for photo magazines and after effects slideshow?

    I don't know if this is related to the legacy

    I work with camcorders Professional before (sony hdr fx7 and hitachi sk,) in my previous company (video production company)

    but for some reason, my current employer (company accountant company) now does not give me a project related to the images. I'm just the graphic animation of all time.

    our company owns a sony slt a57 with 50mm f5.6 lens.

    Personally, I have canon Rebel t1i with maximum 50mm f3.5 lens than I usually use for weddings and birthdays.

    This is the goal of basic as well as the box.

    do I need a really need an images bokeh in my slideshows? What is my 50mm f3.5 more than enough?

    or should I buy a 50mm f1.8, 200mm f2.8 or what will be the best?

    I'm shooting in a studio for a presentation of marriage and a guy said that a 50mm f3.5 will not a good image for slide show and it does not give me a good photographer?

    The camera and lens have very little to do with how a photograph is good. I saw an amazing job for a smart phone. Most of my work is done with special lenses. 90% of my video is shot with Prime lenses. I recently shot a pilot for a television series and the camera had a zoom, but not fired one shot with a zoom, I've only used the zoom for framing. I hate zooms. I have a short zoom on my personal camera but only to convince them. When I shoot portraits that I use usually sets a goal and it is usually a 50 mm or 85 mm equivalent because I like to be close and personal with my subject.

    Point of view is controlled by the position of the camera, depth of field of your subject, the focal length distance and openness. Control the quality of the glass the bokeh (quality of the output of the areas of intervention) and each objective has a different look. Reserved (e) has everything to do with the way the lens is made and you can not the same aspect of a lens digital SLR consumers that you can get with a Glass of Cooke, and a set of objectives Zeiss will give you a different look. Do you need special lenses to shoot for a slide show and make it beautiful? Not at all. You need the ability to find the light, ask and cope. That's all. Do you need a zoom? No, except if you can not control the position of the camera and you must change the framing (think sports or wedding photography where you can not go to your subject and take a bullet in the head). If you can make images like you with the train you have then it is pointless to spend more money on the train. If you want to change the appearance of the images you shoot then you should start to experiment with different objectives and not only the focal length.
