Having a break

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, been concentrating on other things. Had a few studio shoots, catch up with my favourite model and generally concentrating on the day job.

The heat and humidity just seems to go on at the moment.

Hope your all taking care in this warm weather.

Camera Aspect Ratio

The joy of large megapixels is the ability to crop, select different aspect ratios without loosing too many megapixels, but you will always loose some.

Panasonic took a different route.

  • 4:3
  • 3:2
  • 16:9
  • 1:1

You can with most cameras select an aspect ratio but it just crops in camera and you lose pixels. Panasonic created a sensor that keeps the diagonal pixel count the same, so if you switch to a narrower and taller aspect while a traditional camera just looses pixels of the side the Panasonic extends the height.

It’s one reason why a lot of people like the Panasonic GH and compact range.
