Quickly Solve the Problems You Met in Using Spy Cameras

Most of our customers told us that the Chinese English manuals are difficult to read. Most of them will ask what TF Card is, since the maual always told you a TF Card needed. TF Card also called MicroSD Card, when are most used in our daily lives, such as phone memory cards. When you buy a hidden camera and the description don't marks the capacity that the camera needed, this shows that you should buy a MicroSD card for your camera togeter or you can prepare it by yourself. Before your using, it is important to check out whehter the memory is built in or a Micro SD card need for the gadget.

The problems most users will met is that you can't connnect the gadget to your computer successfully. When you met such problem, don't worry. Please kindly do the following things, first try it on the other computer, sometimes it is only the problem of your computer. Sometimes the gadget didn't support Mac system, because most of people will only test the camera on the Windows, Mac computer is expensive to most of people who live in China.

When you start your gadget and find it shut down at once or you even can't start your gadget, this status just tell you that your camera need to be charged. Since most of spy cameras shipped from China will need 10-15 working days, sometimes even longer. You should charge your camera in your first use. I highly recommended that charge your gadget first when you receive your camera, it's better to do this after a long time no use of the camera. Usually 2 or 3 hours can do a full charge. Normal hidden cameras always provide two ways for you to charge your camera, one is use adapter, one is connnect to your computer, both of the two ways are good.

Wearable Camera Automatically Captures Your Whole Day

The Autographer is a small camera with a wide angle lens that you can wear on a lanyard or clip to your clothing. What makes it clever is a combination of software and sensors that enable it to decide when to take a picture. It recognizes changes in color, direction, motion and temperature to decide something interesting is happening. Then it takes a snap.Dark Energy Camera, new mega-eye on the sky, probes ancient mystery.

The 37.4 x 90 x 22.9mm Autographer seems to cover all the spec-bases which just leaves you thinking of a good reason for using it. The battery will last more than a day on a single charge. The 8GB on-board storage space is enough to capture a week or two's worth of snaps before filling up. It features GPS to record the location of each shot plus Bluetooth so that you can transfer images wirelessly to your mobile phone, from where you can post them direct to Facebook and Twitter via a dedicated Autographer app or send them on elsewhere yourself.

It's fairly light at 58g, it's as simple and innocuous as you could get and it rather comes off like a small Flip video camera. A touch of a button reveals an OLED reading of the Autographer's settings through a transmissive section of the plastic casing. As it goes, there's purposefully not an awful lot to choose from. You can select between three settings relating to sensitivity of the sensors and, therefore, how many pictures per day you're likely to get. You can also turn the Bluetooth on and off to save battery.

Dark Energy Camera, new mega-eye on the sky, probes ancient mystery

The first images are in from the Dark Energy Camera. A week ago, astronomers and researchers from around the world began a collaborative experiment using the super-powerful camera to create a massive three-dimensional map that delves deep into the universe.The camera at the center of the Dark Energy Survey astronomical experiment in Chile is cataloging the sky, bit by bit over 525 nights. "It will record information on over 300 million galaxies, most so faint that their light is around 1 million times fainter than the dimmest star that can be seen with the naked eye," according to the survey's website.

Galaxies up to 8 billion light-years away will be captured by the so-called DECam, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The camera can "reach wide and deep into the night sky," the lab said, thanks to components such as 62 charge-coupled devices invented at the lab.The camera -- a very sensitive 570-megapixel device -- is high in the Chilean Andes, but U.S. institutions have provided essential pieces for this unprecedented effort, including the "world's largest filter changer" from the University of Michigan and a "one-of-a-kind cryogenics system to keep photo chips at minus 100 degrees Celsius," from Fermilab in Chicago.

Each night, the state-of-the-art camera takes 400 images, says the Dark Energy Survey website, each one of those a gigabyte in size.DECam is the largest digital camera ever built, according to the Energy Department's website, and includes mirrors measuring 3 feet across. It weighs about 5 tons.The whopper-size photos this huge camera takes are sent to the National Center for Supercomputer Applications in Illinois to be reduced and stored. That facility creates "combined images," the survey site says, before the galaxies and stars that they reveal are identified, cataloged, measured and stored in a database.

Olympus Announces New PEN Cameras, XZ-2 Point-and-Shoot

Olympus has updated two of its popular Micro Four Thirds PEN cameras—replacing the E-PL3 $599.00 at Buydig.com with the E-PL5 PEN Lite and the E-PM1 $399.99 at TigerDirect.com with the E-PM2 PEN Mini. Both cameras feature the same 16-megapixel image sensor and processing engine as the OM-D E-M5 $1,279.99 at PRIMOTRONIX and touchscreen rear displays, making it possible to adjust settings, select a focus point, and fire the shutter with the touch of your finger. The top-end PEN camera, the E-P3 is not being upgraded at this point, but it does remain in the lineup.

Like its predecessor, the E-PM2 features a fixed rear 460k-dot LCD. The E-PL5 has a tilting screen with the same resolution and an improved tilt range—it can now face all the way front for self portraits, just like the display on the Sony Alpha NEX-F3 $498.00 at Dell. Sony's compact full-frame RX1 camera launches in November for $2,800.Both shoot at 8 frames per second with locked focus, but slow to 3.5 frames per second. Neither camera has built-in Wi-Fi, but they do support wireless transfer to an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet via the PenPal $48.95 at Amazon Marketplace Bluetooth adapter, Eye-Fi memory cards, and Toshiba FlashAir memory cards.

There are also a few new lenses coming for the Micro Four Thirds system. The most intriguing is a 15mm f/8 lens that Olympus is billing as a bodycap lens—at only 0.3 inches in depth, it's even slimmer than a pancake design. Even though it has a very modest maximum aperture, the manual focus lens barely protrudes from the camera body. It produces a 30mm field of view in terms of full-frame photography and can focus as close as 0.3 meters.

Sony's compact full-frame RX1 camera launches in November for $2,800

Sony (SNE) announced on Wednesday it will launch the Cybershot RX1 compact camera in November for $2,800. The unique camera blends together a full-frame image sensor usually reserved for high-end DSLRs with a body that measures only 4.5-inches wide and weighs a little over a pound. Make no mistake, the RX1′s full-frame image sensor is not a feature most people will need, which is why the camera is so expensive.

It's packed with a Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2.0 fixed lens, 3-inch LCD, pop-up flash and plenty of dials and buttons to fit the professional photographer who just wants a lighter camera to tote around.Still, if money is of no object, the RX1 has a full array of hard-hitting features including 1080p HD video at 24 and 60 frames per second, ISO 100 to 25,600, and five frame-per-second shooting.

The only major caveats seem to be a lack of a touchscreen, a missing built-in electronic viewfinder and the inability to zoom in due to the fixed lens. An optical viewfinder ($450) and electronic viewfinder ($600) attachment will be sold separately.

PENTAX Introduced the New K-5 II DSLR Camera

Pentax announced the PENTAX K-5 II flagship digital SLR cameras, designed to advance the Pentax well-received K-5 camera. The new dustproof, weather-resistant and cold-resistant camera include a newly developed SAFOX X AF sensor that delivers the broadest autofocusing EV range (-3 EV to +18 EV) in its class.16 mp Camera With 21x Zoom Launched For Rs 16,000. In addition, the PENTAX K-5 IIs is offered without an anti-aliasing filter, making it the perfect solution for photographers who practice commercial and studio photography where camera settings, lens selection, lighting, and other shooting conditions are controlled.

The new PENTAX K-5 II offer a compact, solid body that delivers high quality image reproduction, especially when working in low light conditions. The camera's new, highly sensitive AF sensor enables photographers to work with a luminous flux based on F2.8 levels in addition to F5.6, which increases the AF accuracy when using fast lenses. The AF sensor also includes an upgraded AF algorithm as well as the Select-Area Expansion feature, which automatically tracks the subject when it deviates from a pre-assigned selection point, by assessing data from neighboring sensors.

With its large sensor measuring 23.7mm by 15.7mm with approximately 16.28 effective megapixels, the K-5 II's latest-generation CMOS image sensor ensures high-speed image data readout. By coupling the sensor with the PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) II imaging engine, the Pentax K-5 II delivers super high resolution, rich gradation digital images free of digital noise over a wide sensitivity range – from ISO 100 to ISO 12800 in the standard setting, or from ISO 80 to ISO 51200 when expanded via a custom function.

16 mp Camera With 21x Zoom Launched For Rs 16,000

BenQ has launched the GH700, a new camera that employs a powerful 21x optical zoom lens along with a 16 megapixel Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) sensor for better low-light results, all at an affordable price. To make it easier while shooting at such high zoom levels, the camera is equipped with OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) to compensate for vibrations. The GH700 features a 25 mm wide angle lens to capture a large area in a single shot. In addition to shooting faraway objects, it also claims to be able to capture subjects as close as 1 cm from the lens.

While it appears very similar to the lower-priced GH600, it's differentiated by a CMOS sensor as against the latter's CCD, a high-speed DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or image processor, Full HD (1080p) recording, and better battery life.BenQ claims that through the BSI CMOS sensor and DSP, the snapper can eliminate low-light noise to a great extent, thus allowing for clear nighttime shots even without a tripod.

The image processor automatically takes several snaps and combines them into a single frame, reportedly giving you more vivid images. The high-speed DSP also enables Continuous Shooting Mode, wherein you can take 10 snaps at 16 mp or 54 shots at 1 mp all at once. Moreover, pressing the shutter halfway down results in five photos being taken before the actual image, so that you can select the best out of them. Alternatively, holding down the shutter button will keep taking pictures until released, with the sharpest among them being chosen automatically.

Sony's NEX-5R WiFi Hands On With the Viewfinder Feature

Just about anyone who's tried to take a self-portrait with a camera agrees: it's a hassle. Setting the scene, hitting the timer, then rushing into place only to find half of your head has been cut out is par for the course.If that sounds like you, a new feature that makes use of a smartphone or tablet PC as a remote viewfinder could help. One of the first cameras to offer this will be Sony's NEX-5R, which will be available in major markets in October. Instagram Camera Inching Closer to Reality.

The function, which Sony calls "smart remote control," is added to the camera as an application. With the WiFi-equipped NEX-5R, Sony includes the option for downloading applications from an online store, via a PC or from the camera's PlayMemories Store app. Users will also need to download a PlayMemories app to their handset. Sony says versions for Android and Apple's iOS will be available.

The base of the system is a peer-to-peer WiFi connection, so the camera needs to be connected with a smartphone or tablet before it can be used. A couple of button presses in the camera sets it searching for a compatible handset. In our test the process took about 10 seconds for the devices to automatically connect. Once done, the smartphone screen shows a more-or-less real-time video image that matches the camera's viewfinder. It doesn't include any of the text that is typically overlaid on the viewfinder and lags the camera's viewfinder by a fraction of a second.
