If you want to make a snapshot movie, it is Condiji, which is a small and light authentic school anyway.
When I use a smartphone, the update of the operating system makes me "itchy!" "have you been moved? By adding functions that meet the current needs of the software, the performance and evaluation of existing products are improved. It's a common occurrence in the world of gadgets.
So, a few days ago, Canon, a large digital camera maker, released a firmware update to enhance video shooting capabilities for the 1-inch digital camera "PowerShot G7X Mark III", which goes on sale in 2019. Free updates, of course.
I immediately borrowed the real machine to try it. Is it this year's model? That's what I was thinking. Targeted to improve the function, very easy to shoot!
Make it easier to shoot updates to Vlog and short films
The PowerShot G7X Mark III reviewed when it went on sale in 2019 that it could shoot compact but high-quality 4K video, as well as a camera suitable for shooting Vlog and short films. But judging from the eyes today in 2021, autofocus (AF) and autoexposure correction (AE) may be able to shoot better a little faster.
After updating the firmware, you can use the new shooting mode and features, as follows: AF and AE add high-speed modes, which can also be captured by people who want to shoot animation with digital cameras in the future.
(1) add Video Blog photography mode
Auto-focus and auto-exposure correction is a fast, high-precision, easy to leisure video shooting mode.
(2) add 4 functions to assist animation photography.
Support for highlighting in video recording: you can clearly know that you are recording through the LCD on the back.
You can display aspect markers: "want to shoot square animation, not the usual horizontal length!" When this happens, the sign "OK what you want to shoot from here to here" is displayed on the screen.
When you set the AF mode to [face + tracking priority AF], you can also display the level: update to make it easier for you to shoot horizontal natural video when taking selfies.
The corresponding zebra said: it is a function that can be used when you want to shoot in order not to appear the part that is too bright and not very clear (Bai Fei).
Let's introduce it in detail, and let's first take a look at the examples of what we can get.
You don't need to set up to shoot video. The video log shooting mode is reliable.
Hand jitter correction (dynamic IS) is powerful, it can also take smooth images while crawling Dekoboko Road! This is the first thing I feel personally.
The image is also delicate, and it feels good when combined with a gentle, blurry taste. The PowerShot G7X Mark III is equipped with a large (1 inch) imaging sensor because the lens is also of high quality unique to Canon.
Let's take a closer look at the evolution of the update. With the PowerShot G7X Mark III set to Video Blog shooting mode, the autofocus (AF) speed is significantly improved. When switching subjects, it is obvious that the clock has gone up. So you can move acne and focus.
Automatic exposure correction (AE) is also good. In particular, the AE of character photography is not very good?
The same is true when changing the subject from a landscape to a character. Even the scene where the shadow falls can brightly capture the face and change the direction of the camera toward the landscape from there without feeling the waiting time and fine-tuning the exposure. When facial recognition + tracking gives priority to AF, AE will follow me.
Put the beautiful sky on a sunny day in the camera, and then want to take pictures of friends nearby, the face darkened. Is there anything wrong? There is no such "dilemma"!
Not only quick response, but also a sense of stability. When the direction of the face changes and the degree of light is adjusted, the exposure will not be changed sharply, but can be adjusted gently.
Even if the subject moves the side to move the camera to a large extent, because it is very small overexposure and exposure, continue to shoot a well-colored smile. It's so reliable. You have become a quick and steady adult.
Switching to Video Blog shooting mode can simplify the setting of the screen, but you can rest assured to shoot short films in a variety of situations without detailed settings. There is no need to fine-tune the brightness when using the editing application to connect later. This is the standard digital camera quality of 2021.
Convenient auxiliary function to prevent accidental video shooting
Carefully shooting videos of all kinds of scenes, sometimes encounter painful trouble. There are also a lot of Keyalesmith. It is not the fault of the digital camera, but because of its own carelessness, it will be reconfirmed at that time. "attacked by regret.
However, the latest firmware PowerShot G7X Mark III is fine.
Personally, I think the most convenient thing is the highlighting function in the video recording. Use a red box full of flickering screen size to tell you that you are recording. Not only can you tell at a glance whether you have been recording all the time, but you can also prevent crying incidents that were intended to be recorded but not recorded.
If you want to make a square video for SNS, or if you want to make a film and TV mirror with a width of 2.35 1 that is wider than 16:9, please use the aspect marker of the shooting information display setting. Because the green guides overlap on the 16:9 image, it's easy to determine the perspective.
The level meter can also be displayed when face + tracking priority. When shooting characters with hands, although it is easy to forget horizontal shooting, but there is such a feeling, you can shoot a video with a sense of stability!
When manual exposure, you can also use the problem-solving zebra display function, "too white, I do not know what has been photographed." Use the black-and-white zebra display to tell me the part where the light can't get the shape. If it is a person who is used to taking pictures, it would be better to correct it later, but in many cases, even if the animation is modified, it cannot be restored. So you can rely on this function that can check the Baifei part in advance.
There are also accessories that can further improve the quality of the video. The "tripod handle HG-100TBR" with remote control can be used as a mini tripod and handle, making it easy to shoot selfie videos. With this guy, you can add accessory boots, and the stereo microphone DM-E100 can also record the ambient sound of ASMR.
"release everyone's selfie video" can also be easily photographed.
This started before, the PowerShot G7X Mark III does not have automatic horizontal correction, and if the dynamic IS is set weakly, it will not be cropped during 4K shooting. You can shoot directly from a wide point of view.
In the scene shot by 3 people in this editorial department, there is no dynamic IS standard setting for automatic horizontal correction. Although it has been cut a little, the trigeminal grip is also used to maintain a wide perspective. It's great to control hand jitter while walking, capture the scenery around 3 people +, and capture less distorted images without using a switching lens.
Sure enough, if there is an automatic horizontal correction dynamic IS strong setting, it will be greatly cut, but it doesn't matter if there is no universal joint, right? It makes people think so, Bishop! Because you can get creepy images, it's very convenient to take pictures with your hands.
Tilted liquid crystal displays that can look forward instantly are also easy to use, which I think is a good point. The center of the lens is perpendicular to the center of the LCD, so even if you take a selfie, the line of sight will not change much. You will know after watching the video, but looking at the camera (audience) is a video in a natural atmosphere.
If you shoot something that arouses interest, you can also shoot it supercontinuously. It's nice to take pictures.
The PowerShot G7X Mark III is a 2019-style PowerShot G7X Mark III, and the hardware itself is a digital camera that can still be used today in 2021.
Anyway, the camera is better. The equivalent of a 24 mm~100 mm lens with a brightness of F1.8 to 2.8. From the wide angle of the dynamic selfie to the near middle view, the field of view angle is arbitrarily selected. With a 1-inch sensor and a light background, it would be great if it was this guy. If it wasn't really against the light, it wouldn't have become a ghost.
RAW can also shoot within 30 frames per second, so you can also shoot scenes with action and choose the decisive moment.
The automatic ND filter function can show slow shutter flow even in bright places, focus the entire subject's focus bracket even in the macro area, overlap continuous photos, suppress hand-held night scene mode, and so on. In order to take handsome photos of their own image, it has a very good function.
Even if it is said to be an acceptable completion of today's digital camera.
The strength of the new firmware to improve video performance is solid. At the same time, I also think that the PowerShot G7X Mark III is originally a digital camera with a high degree of completion, so the functions needed now can be added to the software.
Can grow digital camera, PowerShot G7X Mark III. If it is a smartphone, it always feels like people with light videos and photos. With this camera, you will be more addicted to shooting, and the mood to leave great works and records will be even higher.
