I’ve just had another drive failure here in the office and this always causes me to stop and think about my backup routine. I haven’t lost any data in the incident but I like reviewing things every now and again and reminding you guys how important this stuff is. The drive that failed was my …
Have you ever wondered how your camera’s AF system work ? What the difference is between phase detection and contrast detection ? I’ve explained all of this in my latest guest post on ProVideo Coalition, as well as an introduction to Canon’s latest method which is called Dual Pixel CMOS AF. A method which looks …
