Panasonic ZS3

Beispielbilder für min/max Brennweite und Macro. Alle Werte entsprechend für 35mm.

Sample pictures for min/max Zoom and macro. All values in 35mm equivalent.

Die ZS3 verfügt über eine minimale Brennweite von 4mm, entsprechend 25mm für 35mm. Normalerweise haben Kompaktkameras keine so kurze Brennweite.

The ZS3 has a starting focal length of 4mm, which is 25mm in 35mm equivalent. This is an exceptional value for a compact!

Gegenlicht
Flare

In diesem Beispiel wurde die Kamera direkt in die Sonne gehalten. Die Gegenlichteffekte sind zwar zu erkennen, aber sehr gering.

In this sample the camera is pointed towards the sun. Flare is visible, but under control.

Die Ausschnittsvergrößerung zeigt den wirkungsvollen Bildstabilisator. Wie so üblich bei Kameras mit ähnlich kleinem Sensor und hoher Megapixelzahl, zeigt diese Kamera selbst bei der niedrigsten Empfindlichkeit von ISO80 schon sehr sichtbares Rauschen.

The crop shows the effective image stabilization. As with all other cameras with similiar sensor sizes and high megapixel count, this camera shows a lot of color noise even with the lowest sensitivity of ISO 80.

Der Digitalzoom ist genauso schlecht wie bei jedem anderen Kameramodell auch. Schließlich wird ja nur ein kleinerer Bildbereich vergrößert.

The digital zoom is as bad as with any other camera model. Its only an enlargement of a smaller area.

Macro

Die Fokussierung ist sehr schnell und der minimale Abstand zwischen Objektiv und Objekt beträgt nur wenige cm. Der Objektivschatten ist oft ein Problem bei diesen kurzen Objektabständen und die Bilder weisen starke Farbsäume auf.

Focusing is fast and the minimal distance is about an inch from the front lens. The shadow of the lens barrel is often a problem with those short distances and the color fringe at the edges is quite significant.

Panoramic view Space Needle Park, Seattle, WA

Build in 1962 for the World's fair, the Space needle is a 184m high building in Seattle, WA.

The panorama was shot from the small park west of the Space Needle handhold (without a tripod).

Panoramic view Space Needle Fountain, Seattle, WA

Build in 1962 for the World's fair, the Space needle is a 184m high building in Seattle, WA.

The panorama was shot between the fountain and the Space Needle handhold (without a tripod).
This place is also quite busy and I had to wait about 15min to get a view not covered
completly from the cars waiting for valet parking.

• Added important changes from the latest update of DCRAW as of 01/16/2009.
• Added EXIF display for NIKON NEF format to see the full EXIF content of the NEF files for:
  • Nikon D40
  • Nikon D50
  • Nikon D60
  • Nikon D70
  • Nikon D80
  • Nikon D90
  • Nikon D200
  • Nikon D300
  • Nikon D700
  • Nikon D3, D3X

With linking the EXIF engine to the NEF format, you can now use all EXIF tags in the customizable meta data display (for example customizable tooltips).

This new feature replace the Raw plugin and makes working with Raw files more easy. All major Raw files also contain a JPEG with max resolution and normal quality level, so there is no need to shoot JPEG+RAW anymore using this new feature!

 

All convert- and write-operations are redirected to use the included JPEG automatically and simplifies the workflow which would normally be used for the separate JPEG. For Raw processing you will continue to use your dedicated processing software (via the Ctrl-Quicklaunch feature in cPicture).

 

For example: Shoot only Raw, select the pictures and send mail with Ctrl+M

 

The list of supported Raw formats (Jpeg in Raw picture format):

 

 

• Check file for JPEG structure (Repair) feature

This new feature takes any file (for example broken JPEGs, documents, binary files or any other data file) and stores all JPEGs inside this file as new standard compliant JPEGs.

 

Available from the Tools menu: 

See the new Best-Of-2008 event of the World Wide Panorama:

cPicture is updated to version 2.0.6.

• New setting 'Use color profile' to run the assigned color profile for picture processing to use JPEGs for EMail or Web use.
  An embedded color profile or the Adobe RGB color space conversion (the file name starts with the '_') can be executed when the picture is changed.
  No more need to add a color profile which can confuse clients!
  
  
  
  
• Webpage feature (Ctrl+H) is changed to use style sheets for the main index page and the individual picture pages.
  The style sheets are automatically created and can be modified to change all pages in one go. For example from the background color or the text color to all full CSS features.
  Everything can easily be changed from one place.
  
  
  
  
  Sample style sheet:
  Each part of the picture pages can be modified from one place instead of modifying all HTML pages directly.

Panoramic view from the castle Burg Klopp in Bingen, Germany

The castle was first build between 1240-1277 and destroyed during the 30 year war from 1618-1648,
rebuild and destroyed again in 1689. The castle as it is today was rebuild in 1875.

Using DX (APS-C format) lenses on a full frame camera result in vignetting.
This is a set of samples for the Nikkor 18-70mm, Sigma 30mm and Sigma 50-150mm lenses
mounted on a full frame camera Nikon D700:

cPicture is updated to version 2.0.5 to include a fix for high ISO values from the Nikon D3 and D700 DSLR:

The Raw plugin is updated to include

• Canon EOS 1000D
• Canon PowerShot A720
• Nikon D700
• Olympus E-420
• Olympus E-520

See the tutorial page for more details about the Raw plugin.
Copy the cpp_raw.dll to the same folder where you copied cPicture.exe to use the plugin.

This is a panoramic image from the Seattle Skyline looking over the Elliott Bay.

Starting from the left are the snow covered cascade mountains with the Key-Arena in the front and the Space Needle to the right. The highest building in Seattle (black tower to the right) is owned by a large financial institution in Seattle. The right most small white tower, the Smith Tower, is one of the oldest buildings in Seattle.
