Lumix LX3 firmware update
Attention all Lumix LX3 owners. Our favorite little toy has released a firmware update for us to take advantage of. Much like the iPhone upgrade to 3.0 firmware, the Lumix 2.0 firmware offers a lot of new things for the camera. Among the most notable:
-
Improved auto white balance performance. - Auto Focus speed-up.
- Recording function with an aspect ratio of 1:1 has been added.
- A white balance (WB) bracket function has been added.
- [HIGH DYNAMIC] has been added to scene mode.
- The exposure compensation and the auto bracket compensation can now be set up to ±3EV.
- Position of the guide line can now be set.
- It is now possible to display the highlights in playback mode.
- Digital red-eye removal has been modified.
For a detailed description of the improvements, as well as what’s in store for the firmware upgrade, click here.
But if you’re ready to jump in head first and download the firmware, here’s the download link, with a detailed instruction of how to install the upgrade.
Cyber-Shot TX-1 Online Blogger Search
My friend emailed this newsletter from Sony…
Sony is taking the digital imaging technology to the next level with its introduction of the new Cyber-shot TX1 and Party-shot accessory. Taking great photos under various situations has never been this exciting and fun.
Submit your favorite bloggers under the Tech, Fashion, Travel and Food categories and get a chance to win a Sony Cyber-Shot.
Submission of nominees is from September 15 to 30, 2009.
Only the best will be captured on October 15, 2009.
It’s another attempt to build a database of bloggers by dangling a carrot in the guise of a digicam. But hey, who am I to complain. If I found myself in one of the categories, I would probably be submitting my blog too.
wanted: old soles
Over 100 participating Adidas stores are accepting your old soles. In exchange, you can get as much as PhP 1,000 off on a brand new pair of your favorite Adidas kicks.
Simply bring in your old (but functional) rubber shoes (of any brand) and turn them in. You can get PhP 500 off any pair of Adidas worth PhP 1,500 – 2,999, or PhP 1,000 off the Adidas shoes worth PhP 3,000 and above.
Oh, it’s also for a worthy cause, as your old shoes will go to the Pamulaan Center for Indigenous Peoples’ Education
But you gotta hurry, as the promo period lasts up to May 17 only! So rummage through your closet and find that old pair of rubber shoes that you don’t use anymore and trade in your old soles for some brand new kicks.
