Photo Glossary Feathering Light The term usually refers to aiming a studio light away from a subject, so that the subject is illuminated by the light’s weaker, softer and often more flattering edge rays. One application is using a single, featured light for a foreground subject and more distant background. Aiming it above the subject will light the background more brightly. By accurately placing the subject relative to the background, a single feathered output can evenly illuminate both. Do you have Tech Support Question?

Four New Canon Camera Reviews!

View email in your browser Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II Review The PowerShot G1 X Mark II is Canon's newest professional level point-and-shoot camera for 2014. What does that mean, exactly? Basically, for a similar price as an entry-to-mid-level DSLR, this is a fixed lens camera brimming with Canon's latest and best features.

There's also the brand new DIGIC 6 image processor with the Canon HS SYSTEM, which is capable of faster AutoFocus (AF) times, Full HD 1080p video recordings, 14-bit RAW + JPEG file capture, and "improved" low-light performance. The G1 X Mark II also features a 5x optical zoom lens with a fast f/2.0 maximum aperture at its widest angle (24mm) and a f/3.9 maximum aperture at full telephoto (120mm).

Steve's Digicams Most Popular News Stories World's Fastest Camera: 4.4 Trillion Frames Per Second The Wall Street Journal is reporting that twelve scientists from two Japanese universities have built the world's fastest high-speed camera. While mechanical and electronic shutters have thus far been limited to billions of frames per second, this new camera can capture -- this is not a typo, folks -- 4.4 TRILLION frames per second. Granted, the resolution of the one-meter squared image sensor is currently limited to 450 x 450 pixels. But wait, how did they do this? And what's it for? First, unlike filmmaking, sporting events on TV, and your favorite YouTube videos, this type of high-speed photography, according to the scientists' article in nature photonics, is a valuable scientific tool "for studying fast dynamics in photochemistry, spintronics, phononics, fluidics, and plasma physics." Basically, the camera is so fast... Continue Reading Sony Rolls Out Three New Imaging Products Sony has just announced three new imagining products, which add to their Cyber-Shot and ActionCam lines.
