March 2009 How to Use Filters Guide to Hoya Filters Introduction top These new Hoya HD filters really are something special. I'm always skeptical, but these new Hoyas really do what they claim. Not only do they have magic coatings which really do repel dirt and fingerprints, the polarizing filters allow about one full stop more light to come through, effectively giving you an extra stop of either ISO, lens speed or shutter speed, for free! Just like the magic coating on the back of the Canon SD880, these multicoated filters don't pick up fingerprints. Put your thumb on one, and the fingerprint just doesn't stick. Hoya isn't kidding. How does Hoya do this? Specifications top Thanks for reading!

I thought I would compare them again using the bright Summer sunshine. Hoya’s HD Circular Filter is made from the same high-tech film used in LCD TVs. Side-by-Side, the difference between the two filters is obvious. Share and Enjoy

Funktionen der Canon EOS 400D durch Firmware-Hack erweitern Mit der Firmware-Erweiterung 400plus lässt sich das Betriebssystem der Spiegelreflexkamera Canon EOS 400D um nützliche Funktionen erweitern. Dadurch lassen sich nicht nur neue Features nachrüsten, sondern auch für bestimmte Aufgaben teures Zubehör, wie Fern- oder Intervalauslöser sparen. Canon Spiegelreflexkameras haben im Menü eine Update-Funktion mit der sich eine neue Firmware-Version aus einer auf der Speicherkarte abgelegte Datei einspielen lässt. Jeder Nutzer einer solchen Kamera sollte deshalb auf der Canon-Website prüfen, ob er das neuste “Betriebssystem” auf seiner Kamera laufen hat. Die Funktionsweise des Hacks Das Projekt 400plus nutzt diese Update-Routine um eine nur Minimal veränderte Firmware auf der Kamera einzuspielen. Die nun auf der Speicherkarte vorliegende Zusatzsoftware wird beim Anschalten in den Arbeitsspeicher der Kamera geladen und mit dem nächsten Ausschalten wieder deaktiviert. Welche Funktionen bringt der Firmware-Hack? Die Liste der neuen Funktionen ist lang.
