WB2000(TL350) Function -01. Interval Shooting

Hi! This is Amanda.

When was the last time you took pictures?

Me, I am busy taking my WB2000(TL350) camera around with me everywhere I go.

Anyone not familiar with what WB2000(TL350) is?

Why don’t I make a short intro before I move on.

WB1000, with its 24mm super wide angle lens, optical 5X Schneider lens, full manual and 3 inch AMOLED screen,coupled with sleek design, was a major hit.

WB2000(TL350) is the next version of WB1000 and as follow-up versions generally do, it is a significant upgrade of the previous WB1000. Of course, the features are much more diverse as well.

Today, I will walk you through the variety features of the WB2000(TL350) camera and how to make best use of it!

Voila, today’s topic! ‘Interval shooting’.

Interval shooting is where you set the desired shooting interval and number of shots so that the camera automatically takes the pictures.

You can often see such type of pictures in TV documentaries or movies.

You know, the scene of flower blooming or construction site, which typically take long, flowing at an accelerated speed.

One of the biggest benefits of interval shooting is that you can record the changes to the subject with one set up.

And with WB2000(TL350), you can do this.

So, shall we take a look at how to use the function?

First, rotate the dial on the upper right hand side of the camera and set to ‘M’ mode.

Once set to ‘M’ mode, turn the quick dial on the right hand side of the product and you will find the following functions.

You will see the following icons. Let me start from the left.

1) Bracket : Improves minor exposure in the photo

2) Free capture: Displays photos of moments.

3) Interval shooting

4) Normal shooting

5) Timer: Press the shutter for photo shooting in 2 or 10 seconds

6) Burst mode: 3, 5, 10 frame shots per second

And select Interval mode here.

Once the quick set up is done, press the Menu button on the right hand side of the AMOLED screen.

Go to the menu for the camera image and select Interval.

If you go into the Interval menu, you can set the interval and no. of shots.

‘Interval’: Set up the total shooting time

‘No. of shots’ : No. of shots to be taken during the selected time frame.

You can see on the upper right hand corner of the screen which indicates that interval shooting is ready.

Oh! Once the setting is done, don’t forget to turn off the power without adjusting the focus, aperture and shutter speed.

If you turn on/off at automatic set up, the camera will immediately return to normal mode if other setting or functions have changed.

Using the interval shooting function of WB2000(TL350), I took pictures of the beautiful flowers sitting next to the window.

I used quite long intervals for this one. If you shorten the interval, the changes will be slower.

With the photos, I make a quick GIF animation. How do you like it? You can easily observe the changes to the flower, right? Try one for yourself!

In my next posting, I will go over the ‘Panorama Action’ function of WB2000(TL350).

Until then… Say Cheese!

Love is needier this season.

The weather is getting colder; I can’t help but become worried for all those animals that have no one to take care of them and nowhere to go.

Today, I am going to introduce my new friends who were rescued recently.

I am going to go out and make sure to find more friends to bring home!

Poor Yuki! He was naturally born with two toes.

Sometimes I have to lock him in as he likes to play and mess around the house.

This boy looks like an old raccoon!

He has not been well taken care of so he is sick right now.

Now that he is in our house, we are going to take care of him until he permanently closes his eyes.

Tommy&Tiky: FAQ – Samsung HMX-S16 UV Filter

Samsung HMX-S16 – a perfect match with a wide variety of accessories

One of the most frequently asked questions among first time users of camcorders concerns are about the filter size and how to use it. In general, you can still get good quality video even without (using) a filter. However, if you want to protect your lens and tailor the shots to the style that you are looking for, you can take advantage of various filters. And thus today’s tip – how to use the major three filters of (the Samsung HMX-S16) MC Protector Filter (UV filter), CPL Filter and ND Filter.

 

 

1. MC Protector Filter (MC UV Filter)

 

The UV Filter was originally developed to block UV rays and the Protector Filter was used to solely protect the lens, they are now widely used to protect either camera or camcorder lenses. However, the word ‘MC’ deserves attention. MC is an abbreviation of ‘Multiple Coating’, which refers to the lens having a filter on not only the front but also on the back. Compared to typical UV filters or protector filters with only one side coated, image quality is much higher, allowing you to take much  better image. If possible, try out a filter with MC label. (!)

2. CPL Filter

This is the ‘polarizing light filter’. There are two main types: 1) PL filter, which is the normal filter, and 2) CPL round-type. Today, CPL is mostly used. The difference between the two is as simple as this: CPL filter is designed to resolve the AF error created when a camcorder or camera that supports AF uses a PL filter.

The main purpose of CPL filter is to reduce the reflected light of the subject during filming. For example, when you are trying to film fish in water, and the refraction of light off the water blocks the fish underneath. The CPL filter is very effective at addressing this issue. Please take a look at this video of a PC monitor. The CPL filter is being used and look at how well it controls the light refractions.

The second is to reduce the colors lost from brightly color objects such as the sky , flowers and the ocean. Let’s take a look at the following pictures.

Before CPL filter use (left) vs. after (right)

If you uses the CPL filter as shown here, you can capture the sea and the sky with more vivid colors! :)

Pictures with CPL filter

Have you ever envied nature photos  that portray magnificent colors? Most of these works rely on filters like the ones we are looking at today – not many are ‘pure’ work (works). You can also use programs such as Photoshop, but they still give a more ‘artificial’ feel to the images then when using a filter. Try out a CPL filter if you have a chance, you’ll find that your images are more vivid then you ever imagined! ;’>

3.ND Filter

The ND filter is aimed at reducing the amount of light. On a bright day it is common to have your camera over exposed if your not using a ND filter. To solve this, you have to close down the aperture. But in that case, you have to give up ‘outfocusing’, which is a very popular style these days. Using the ND filter (let’s you have the aperture open, letting you have a greater range of focus in your foreground and background.

To make matters worse, camcorders almost always need an ND Filter as exposure is difficult to adjust due to their slower shutter speed compared to cameras. So regardless of outfocusing, make sure to use ND filter for a more balanced image.

If you have not used a filter for a long time or it’s your first-time, it may feel like a big hassle, but if you can master how the filters work, you will be able to obtain much more balanced images. Remember what I’ve said and your bound to get great shots and have fun filming.
