Sony enhances its compact automatic panoramic
Later this year published an article proving the benefits of Exmor-R sensor of Sony Cyber-Shot a WX1. Among other things he showed his ability to make panoramas automatically by the high speed shooting and processing Biontz processor.
Normally, when pans, either automatically in the camera, or computer, slightly overlapping photos taken to make the smallest possible number of shots. Instead, Sony made an overlap end, firing up to 100 photos, and standing with a narrow band of each. In the last picture I posted, and which also accompany this article, is the width of each fragment to be fired at a moving car.
Yesterday, Sony unveiled in its new Sony Style store the Serrano Street, the new Cyber-Shot TX7 and HX5, which has been improved automatic panoramic mode, precisely to avoid photos like the car, which objects are moving ghosts appear, fragmented, and repeated. Now the camera is able to identify the moving parts to isolate them by selecting a wider area in the picture they appear. It does this completely automatically and without user can disable it, improving the result in panoramic in which something moves.
But in addition, these cameras have some other interesting developments, as a new active stabilization system that the manufacturer and used in Handycam camcorders, and that claims to be 10 times more effective than traditional ones. I can not tell whether they are 8 or 10 or 12, but the fact is that the show with two video cameras (with and without stabilizer) placed on a vibrating platform shooting the same scene, is simply stunning.
Also new to the compact Sony HDR is automatic from two photos taken at high speed, emulating the function that was already available in the compact Sony Alpha and other manufacturers such as Ricoh CX1 , or the Fujifilm F200 EXR that already tested in day lights and Photos .
In addition, HX5 has GPS and electronic compass to geotag the point of decision and where the photo was made.
But curiously, the main innovation of these cameras has not been announced in Spain, and the first is that they are compatible with TransferJet , a new wireless transmission technology, which promises much faster than Bluetooth with the same ease of use that a cable USB. As it operates at more than 3 cm, it is necessary to have measures of security such as passwords or pairings, and eventually could reach 375 MB / s, although in the first version runs at 40.
To use TransferJet will require a Memory Stick special, which also include memory. An 8 GB will cost about $ 100, but it seems that Sony intends to sell in Spain, at least for now. This will force your customers, if they are interested in technology, have to purchase cards abroad, as happened with the Sony eBook has not officially distributed in Spain until this year (in the window of Sony Style and exposed), so that many users were bought in Japan or in Belgium.
