Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8



This is Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8 camera, is also my own camera. I bought it when it just launching in market. I bought this camera because it have one special result that i very like it, is very cool! The result is it can see the small wording inside the photo, clear and can read. This function is already made me crazy..haha..! The LEICA lens is more powerful and more great.




Introduction of FX-8
Panasonic Lumix DMC FX8, a true heir to the world-renowned 5.0 Megapixel 3x optical zoom Panasonic Lumix DMC FX7 with MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), with substantially enhanced battery life. The Panasonic DMC-FX8 boasts high picture quality, large LCD, compactness and stylish design, all those desired for a compact camera. Not only that, Panasonic Lumix DMC FX8 also incorporates the highly commended MEGA O.I.S. while extending the battery life over two times as long as that of the previous Panasonic FX7, by increasing the included lithium-ion battery capacity by 162% and adopting the power-saving Venus Engine PLUS.

Stylish
In addition, bright and clear VGA moving picture is recordable at 30 fps thanks to the 9-pixel mixed readout method of new CCD and you can enjoy playing back it with audio on the large LCD. Also, quickened AF speed and the addition of scene mode help screen and three new modes help upgrade the model allowing every user to enjoy taking high quality picture more easily and more comfortably. Like FX7, the Panasonic FX8 also has its color variation in silver, black, blue and pink, each with a specially coated texture pleasing to touch.



3x Leica DC lens and 2.5-inch LCD
The 5 Megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC FX8 is the slim and stylish model that incorporates 3x optical zoom (equivalent to 35mm to 105mm on a 35mm film camera) Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens and bright 2.5-inch LCD monitor. The combination of three aspherical lenses generates high optical performance while preserving the compactness of the unit. Power LCD mode offers 140% brighter backlighting to assure clear view even when sunny outdoors.

Mega optical image stabilizer
MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer) that Panasonic thinks it indispensable for all digital cameras, especially for compact models that lack stability, is incorporated in the entire LUMIX line-up (except for the LC1 model). Every slight hand-shake movement is detected accurately with the sampling frequency at 4,000 times per second and will be compensated to render clear, sharp images. MEGA O.I.S. is equipped with 2 selectable modes. In “Mode 1”, the O.I.S. lens continuously compensates for vibration and in “Mode 2”, the O.I.S. lens suppresses hand-shake only at the moment the shutter button is pressed. In this mode, the lens can move in all directions at the moment to maximize its effect, and higher-resolution images can be taken by capturing the image as being close as to the center of the lens. Consequently, since MEGA O.I.S. enables a beautiful picture shot without blurring at slower shutter speeds of more than three steps compared to the conventional models without O.I.S., you can enjoy shooting clear and beautiful pictures easily even in situations using slow shutter speeds, like indoor shots for portraits and nighttime scenery for illuminated objects, as well as in shootings using macro mode.

Power and High quality images
By adopting the newly developed lithium-ion battery that increased its capacity by 162% and the Venus Engine PLUS that consumes only 70% of the power Venus Engine II does, the Panasonic Lumix DMC FX8 realizes more than two times longer, compared with the previous Panasonic FX7, battery life to take approx.300 pictures. Newly developed CCD that adopts 9-pixel mixed readout method makes it possible to record beautiful full-size movie in VGA size at 30 fps while FX7 recorded in the size of QVGA. The new CCD enhances the picture quality not only in the resolution but also in the brightness level of the image as it gains much luminous signals. On the sound front, new built-in speaker lets you enjoy playing back movies with audio on the 2.5” large LCD anytime, anywhere.

Faster AF and Enhanced options
An AF method can be selected according to the shooting situation: 5-point, 3-point high-speed, 1 point high-speed, 1-point normal-speed and Spot. In the newly incorporated 1 point high-speed AF, the AF time has been dramatically reduced to approx. half the level of the previous DMC FX7. Although screen-freeze in high-speed AF is now minimized, if you take the picture of subject with fast movement, you can select 1-point normal-speed AF which does not have any screen-freeze while focusing. In addition, AF assist lamp is equipped for expanding the AF ability even at night or under the low-light conditions.



Easy to use scene modes
Panasonic Lumix FX series has a mode dial that shortcuts the selection of the scene mode that best matches the situation quickly and easily. The Panasonic Lumix DMC FX8 contains three new modes added over the Panasonic Lumix DMC FX7. “Soft Skin” detects only skin tones and softens detail to produce smoother and more beautiful skin. “Food” catches the natural color of food regardless of the light condition in macro closeup. “Baby” allows easy growth record in which the baby’s time of age according to preset birthday would be automatically recorded onto the image, as well as maximizing the baby’s purity by giving a shade of soft focus on the subject. This information can be displayed when you playback the images taken in this mode on the camera LCD, and when reviewed or printed via the included Lumix Simple Viewer. Now the Panasonic FX8 offers a total of twelve scene modes, still it is easy to select the one out of them thanks to the newly installed Scene Mode Help Screen, that shows the description and the knack for shooting of each scene. This functions shows the description of each mode on the LCD monitor, helps you to select the mode that best fits the shooting condition. On the other hand, it also offers easy shooting even to the entry-level users by providing the Simple Mode, in which most settings are made automatically. You just aim at the subject, zoom in or out, and press the shutter button. Light is automatically compensated with a single press of the Exposure Compensation button when the subject is backlit.

High speed shooting
Last but not least, the Panasonic Lumix DMC FX8 boasts high consecutive shooting performance as well as the previous Panasonic FX7 did, realizing the shooting at 3 frames per second at full resolution. You can start it the moment you want thanks to the independent button, allowing you to record consecutive images and select the best one afterward. And the Unlimited Consecutive Shooting function allows limit-free consecutive shooting up to the capacity of the Secure Digital memory card. The industry-leading release time lag of approx. 0.008 sec minimum does not let you miss the shooting chance and help you to capture the spur-of-the-moment.

Other features
In addition to the ArcSoft PhotoImpression/PanoramaMaker/PhotoBase, another application software Lumix Simple Viewer for Windows is included. This software is good especially for the beginners to store, playback, print or attach to E-mail the images via PC readily. Images will be automatically transferred just by inserting the Secure Digital Memory Card or by connecting the camera to PC, and they will also be sorted by the date of shooting to streamline bothersome process as simple as possible. Auto angle detection records whether an image was taken horizontally or vertically. This ensures that when playing back on the LCD monitor and displaying images on your TV by connecting your Lumix with an AV cable, vertical images are automatically displayed vertically and horizontal images are automatically displayed horizontally. The large LCD monitor will be turned off automatically while the camera is not in use to save the battery and extend the operation time. This is called Economy Mode and adjustable to two levels according to your convenience.

UPA 35th Annual Dinner Stage (Training)



Software used : 3D Studio Max, Illustrator, Autocad
Time duration : half day

This is the UPA 35th Annual Dinner Stage that i create, just for train my skill of 3D only. I love 3D very much but there is no chance to learn in the school and college, because i studied in TAR college (Graphic Design Course) no teaching 3D software so regret if want learn it must enter in advanced diploma. At the same time, they are with 70% of the teaching theory, is useless one. After work also too late and tired. So i usually ask my friend teaching me because they are working in 3D animation firm.






This is the draft that i draw in Illustrator and convert it in Autocad for easy import to 3D studio max. My idea is come from the awards ceremony, because they have many staff in there get awards about the good staff of the year, hardworking staff, and etc.





This is just finish created by 3D studio max, no color and no light anything inside. I once presented to my superior and he praises me to do well, but can't use it because now (2008 and 2009) is bad economic period time so company can't spend more money to do this, some regret from me. He ask me keep it up company will use it after the period.







This is the stage that have mapped color, texture and lighting. That have 2 big screen on to of stage to easy let the staff who sitting on far distance can watch it clearly, because company got almost 700 people of staff.

Finally, i must more improving on 3D studio max and idea of stage design. On here i want to say thank you for anyone who ever teaching me before. Thank for your helping.

Olympus E-300



The E-300 ('EVOLT' in North America) became the second ever Four Thirds System digital SLR when it was announced by Olympus at Photokina 2004. The camera features an eight megapixel Kodak 4/3 Type CCD sensor, a Four Thirds lens mount and an unusual Optical Porro Finder. The viewfinder uses four mirrors instead of a prism, its sideways swinging mirror lends to the camera's flat-top profile. Instead of the image from the lens being directed upwards to the viewfinder prism it is directed rightwards and then up to the viewfinder which is offset from the lens axis.






Two new affordable ZUIKO Digital lenses
In conjunction with their announcement of the E-300 Olympus also announced two more affordable lenses. The EZ 14 - 45 mm zoom was destined to be the E-300 'Kit Lens' while the EZ 40 - 150 mm adds a telephoto zoom option. These two lenses would provide an E-300 owner with a full 28 - 300 mm equiv. FOV coverage (or approximately 10x zoom from 28 mm equiv.). It's worth noting however that the more expensive ZUIKO Digital lenses feature ED glass elements, these do not. However the price difference is significant, the ED 14 - 54 mm F2.8 - F3.5 being approximately twice the price of the EZ 14 - 45 mm.


ZUIKO Digital EZ 14 - 45 mm F3.5 - F5.6
(28 - 90 mm equiv. FOV, 3.2x zoom)


ZUIKO Digital EZ 40 - 150 mm F3.5 - F4.5
(80 - 300 mm equiv. FOV, 3.75x zoom)

Cherating is located in Kuantan, Malaysia.
Less than 50km north of Kuantan is Cherating. Cherating is the perfect antidote to frantic city life. Here, wide gently sloping sandy beaches, lined with casuarinas trees, extend as far as the eye can see.

At that time, I set out there to watch the sunrise between the sky and sea with several friends. Unfortunately, one large of cloud appears on the sea surface, we can not see the scene that the sun rises from the sea, a bit regret. However, we enjoy this journey very much.
