How To Take Close Ups Of Jewelry With A Kodak Easy Share Camera
| Outdoor Portrait : The farthermost tonal range of this image makes it a tough shot for many digicams, which is precisely why we set information technology up this mode. The object is to agree highlight and shadow detail without producing a "flat" pic with muddied colors, and the DX3700 performed well because its limited exposure control. Well-nigh cameras with manual exposure compensation require some adjustment on this shot to get it to come out brilliant enough. The 3700'southward automatic exposure did a pretty good task of producing advisable midtones, although at the expense of highlight detail. Its automatic white balance too produced expert colour, though the peel tones are a little pale (especially Marti's lips). The blue flowers came out pretty much spot on. (This is a very difficult blue for many digicams.) Resolution is high, with proficient detail throughout the frame. The shadow areas show somewhat limited detail though, with a fairly loftier level of noise. (Racket is a petty high across the whole moving-picture show.) | ||||||||||||||||||
| Closer Portrait : Results are similar to the shot higher up, though the exposure is a little darker. The DX3700's fixed focal length lens distorts Marti's features quite a bit. (If you lot want to accept close-upwards people shots like this, you lot actually need a zoom lens: Peradventure consider the Kodak DX3900 instead, or even drib down to 2 megapixels and get the DX3600. - I always advise spending the money on a zoom lens rather than more megapixels...) Resolution is higher in this shot, with stronger detail in the model's face and pilus. The flower petals and leaves also show great detail, as does Marti's necklace. Shadow detail is proficient, though again with more racket than I like to see. | ||||||||||||||||||
Indoor Portrait, Flash :
Neat flash intensity and good overall colour . The DX3700'southward onboard flash did a great job here, achieving simply the right exposure level. The background incandescent lighting produces a slight yellow cast on the back wall, merely overall colour is skilful. Racket is moderately high once more, and visible throughout the frame, but the DX3700's performance is actually commendable. | ||||||||||||||||||
Indoor Portrait, No Flash :
Nearly accurate color, but a niggling underexposed. This shot is always a very tough test of a camera'due south white rest capability, given the stiff, yellowish color bandage of the household incandescent bulbs used for the lighting. The DX3700'southward automatic white balance system came surprisingly close to hitting the marking though. The camera responded to the incandescent lighting with a slight magenta cast, and fairly night exposure overall. Notwithstanding, results are good considering the very express exposure controls, and the photo could easily be brightened up in the software that ships with the camera. | ||||||||||||||||||
Firm Shot :
Expert resolution and color, just slightly soft details . The DX3700's auto white residue produced good color hither, with nigh authentic saturation. Resolution is high, with adept item in the tree limbs above the roof and in the fine leafage in front of the house. Details are a piffling soft though, particularly in the fine leaf. Overall, though, a proficient job. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Far-Field Test This image is shot at infinity to exam far-field lens operation. NOTE that this epitome cannot be directly compared to the other "house" shot, which is a poster, shot in the studio. The rendering of item in the poster will be very unlike than in this shot, and color values (and even the presence or absence of leaves on the trees!) will vary in this subject as the seasons progress. In full general though, you can evaluate detail in the bricks, shingles and window detail, and in the tree branches confronting the heaven. Compression artifacts are most likely to show in the trim along the border of the roof, in the bricks, or in the relatively "flat" areas in the windows. This is my ultimate "resolution shot," given the infinite range of item in a natural scene similar this. The DX3700 captured keen detail throughout the frame, though details are slightly soft. Color also looks proficient, though the too-brilliant exposure results in weaker color. The bright sunlight tricks the DX3700 into losing a fair corporeality of particular in the white bay window trim (though the camera's lack of optical zoom also contributes). The shadow area in a higher place the front door shows stronger item, with the brick pattern just visible (though with loftier image noise). The tabular array below shows a resolution and quality series. Resolution Series | ||||||||||||||||||
| Lens Zoom Range A digital-only zoom that just crops away portions of the image to "magnify". A number of readers asked for shots that would prove the zoom range of the cameras I test, so I now routinely take the following serial of shots. This particular sequence shows the field of view with the DX3700 set to full broad angle, and with the 2x and 3x digital zoom enabled. The DX3700's lens is equivalent to a 37mm lens on a 35mm camera. No "digital zoom" really magnifies anything, they just take the center of the image produced past the CCD, and throw away the surrounding area. Some "stretch" the resulting data to make a physically larger file, simply the detail gets softer in direct proportion. The DX3700 takes the approach I nearly prefer, which is to simply evangelize a smaller file in its "zoomed" photos. Digital zoom functions are OK if all you'll be doing is emailing or using the images on a web folio, but if you need prints from your telephoto pictures, bite the bullet and spend the extra money to go a true optical zoom lens. Following are the results at each zoom setting. | ||||||||||||||||||
Musicians Affiche
Skilful color with Auto white balance, with high resolution. The DX3700 produced pretty accurate color with this shot. Peel tones are a little pale, but overall color looks good. The Asian model's blue robe is about right, though the deep shadows take slight purplish tints. (This is a tough blue for some digicams to get right.) Resolution is high, judging by the embroidery details of the blue robe and the well-defined details of the beaded necklaces and bloom garland. Image noise is also high, though some could be flick grain on the actual affiche. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Macro Shot Nearly average macro coverage, with good resolution just uneven flash coverage and soft corners. The DX3700 captured a slightly larger than boilerplate macro area, at 5.67 10 three.78 inches (144 10 96 millimeters). Resolution is expert, equally the coins, brooch, and dollar pecker all testify a lot of fine item. Details are reasonably sharp in the centre of the frame, merely softer in the corners. The camera's auto white residuum produced a stiff yellow/green cast, which disappears in the flash shot. The camera's flash throttled down for the macro area a trivial too much, producing dark shadows in the left side of the frame. | ||||||||||||||||||
"Davebox" Exam Target
Near accurate color, but overexposed. The DX3700 overexposed this shot a fair corporeality, resulting in weak colour saturation. That said though, the colour is nearly accurate in most of the large color blocks. The overexposure also causes the DX3700 to lose the more subtle tonal distributions of the Q60 nautical chart, equally the "C" range is just barely visible. Shadow particular in the charcoal briquettes is expert, yet, with moderately high noise. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Low-Light Tests Very limited low-light capabilities. Well, I guess the DX3700 had to accept at least 1 achilles heel, and low light performance is it. The photographic camera takes bright pictures only down to nigh 8 foot-candles, which is near 8 times brighter than a typical urban center night scene nether normal street lighting. If you lot have to shoot after dark, program on using the flash.
| ||||||||||||||||||
| Wink Range Test Surprisingly good flash intensity all the way to 14 feet. The DX3700'south flash maintained good intensity all the mode to 14 feet from the test target. (The camera's lack of optical zoom provides a glimpse of our studio!) Though the flash ability was brightest at 8 feet, it decreased merely minimally with each additional foot of distance. Beneath is our flash range serial, with distances from eight to 14 feet from the target.
| ||||||||||||||||||
| ISO-12233 (WG-xviii) Resolution Test The DX3700 performed reasonably well on the "laboratory" resolution test chart. Information technology started showing artifacts in the test patterns at resolutions as low as 600 lines per moving picture height vertically and about 500 lines horizontally. I establish "strong particular" out to at least 900 lines, while "extinction" of the target patterns occurred at about 1,050-1,100 lines. Optical baloney on the DX3700's broad-bending lens is about boilerplate, as I approximately 0.7 percent barrel distortion. Chromatic aberration is moderate, showing nigh three to four colored pixels on either side of the target lines, strongest on the green pixels. (This baloney is visible equally a very slight colored fringe around the objects at the edges of the field of view on the resolution target.) Resolution Series, Wide Angle | ||||||||||||||||||
| Viewfinder Accuracy/Flash Uniformity A worse than average optical viewfinder, but almost 100 per centum accuracy on the LCD monitor. The DX3700's optical viewfinder was very loose, showing more of the subject field area than what was actually captured by the photographic camera. My standard lines of measurement were severely out of frame in the actual shot, then I was unable to measure frame accurateness very accurately with it. The final image captured the lower left corner of the paradigm, but chopped off large chunks of top and right side. The LCD monitor was much more than authentic, showing approximately 97 percent frame accuracy. Since I unremarkably prefer to see LCD monitors equally shut to 100 percent accuracy as possible, the DX3700 did a great job in this respect. I'd recommend using it to frame all shots. Flash distribution is dim and uneven, with strong falloff in the corners and at the edges of the frame. |
