Advantages: 1) In the previous recall, it was already written about a low noise level. This is really one of the main advantages of the model, allows you to shoot with short excerpts with more bad conditions and use darker optics 2) Stabilizer, allows you to shoot from about 1/8 seconds. (50mm), it is not necessary to buy expensive optics with stabilization 3) screwdriver, you can use old and / or inexpensive lenses with AF 4) When using manual optics, there is a confirmation of the focus in the OVI, and the illumination of the hype zone and an increase in the central region in Live View ( LV) 5) The focus on the centerpoint is very accurate even in difficult conditions 6) the case for the mirror is very compact, with a sufficient number of buttons and copper, allowing convenient to control the camera. 7) grip for me is very comfortable (hands are quite large), in winter you can easily take pictures even in the "dodged" gloves

Disadvantages: 1) Points of AF Total 11, and they are located very strange - horizontally their five and it turns out that 1 and 5th very close to the edges, and the 2nd and 4th center. 2) In the selection of focus points, it is difficult to change ISO 3) there is a significant delay in the LV between pressing the descent and triggering of the shutter 4) the tracking AF in the LV works very peculiarly 5) video and relaxing competitors 6) no upper screen 7) Rear screen not touch 8 ) A terrible suit for smartphone for shooting on Wi-Fi

Comment: Users of many past pentax models complain about AF, here it works quite well for everyday shooting, but still for an active reporting and shooting sports, probably worth looking towards competitors, the truth is much more expensive. The choice of lenses is very large in various price categories, including in the secondary market. Even China 18-55 at Pentaks is quite decent (unlike some competitors), and so you can pick up good glasses in all the focal length ranges worth up to 15-20 thousand. Optics for the pentax makes third-party manufacturers. In addition, K-70 is good friendly with old manual glasses, some of the Soviet lenses were even done with the Pentaks bayonet. Thus, the K-70 is unlikely to make owners of other systems go to Pentax, but as the first mirror is probably the best choice that the amateur seals are superior to the head of the same price category (up to 50 thousand) of competitors and significantly cheaper top crop, many Of which also lift K-70.

Advantages: a compact camera with a wide range of features. It is convenient to hold in your hands. Pleases the large range of ISO and the minimum noise at the same time.

Disadvantages: Uncomfortable to switch ISO

Comment: Before that, I used to-200 and the transition to K-70 caused certain difficulties in learning the many capabilities of the camera. Since I love to take pictures in manual mode, it took some time to figure out what :) and I note that I still do not fully use all the resources of this camera, but there are where to grow! In general, the camera is pleased. I love to take pictures of nature and take it always and everywhere, regardless of weather conditions. Photos are made on Pentax K-70, lens 50-200.

Advantages: Pentax! That neither the lens to him is then gold, a carcass is a full flash piano. Price - what you need, because there is no top display and there is a bunch of plots on the upper twist. But they use them at all? White balance in the machine is a fairy tale! If you dig in the settings - you can still establish so that it adjusts the preset. Those. First, the manual presets built (their 6!), and how it came out of the studio - use the correction. It seriously saves time. And Pixel Shift! - Just awesome thing. Somehow the drawings had a chance to get a chance - the difference with pixel-chifft and without it - not to convey words. Sharpness four! grows. Describe - infinitely. Maybe other vendors have excellent models, but this one is objectively better. According to the notorious price-quality there are no competitors. I used to have no one and old lenses legendary too, and I put Skovskovsky lenses through the transition ring - nothing would be the backup. Ring - Troych times shot-put - everything is as new. In short, the device is universal. I also shot the subject and models - everything is smart. Ergonomics - super. And the nature went out, under the shower - no problem. I will not say about the winter - I did not get to work on the frost. In short, the device is very good. serious. I remove only in Raw. Video - everything is solid. Very cool effects work. What is sometimes useful for creativity - estimate, channel, for example, turn off, almost at the hardware level! You get the result, you immediately pretend how to handle further.

Disadvantages: No 60p in it at 1920x1080 Full HD. There is no battery-handle to it (but there is an adapter for Pitalov from the outlet)

Comment: As a result - it is reasonable to move it reasonably on the midformat. 645. And the full frame ... not so much it will be better. And more than 4 times.

Rating: 5 out of 5

Advantages: Compact, weather-labored, exceptional image quality due to a phenomenally low sensor noise level (ISO 6400, for example, not for a tick, and quite working), continuity in controlling from previous models in the class, turning screen, Wi-Fi to control the smartphone.

Disadvantages: Not changed: the noise of the shutter, the quality of the video (in my case it does not matter, but remains an objective disadvantage), the speed of serial shooting - although 6 frames per second for this price and in this class and so best offerBut I expected in this progress :) It is impossible to equip an additional battery handle.

Comment: Perhaps this is the best camera in its class today with some reservations - you will not raise the buggy birds, and who needs a video - exactly not Pentax. Everything else - above all silence, especially the quality of the pictures almost at the level of many Full-Frame cameras: https://clck.ru/atmes

Advantages: Beautiful camera. Nothing to say. Comfortable and ergonomic design, you can change the settings with almost one hand, compact case. Also in the chamber there is a very good stabilizer. Of course, to shoot "wiring" to 1/30, it is necessary to practice, but statics per 1/5, and sometimes 0.3 and even 0.6 from the hands can be calm. ISO parameters are also very pleasing. Up to 1600, you can shoot calmly, without fear of consequences. But, if, nevertheless, there are noise, they will easily appreciate with the help of an internal grocery and, for example, the same Lightroom. You can remove it safe both in JPEG and RAW, you will be satisfied with the result. But, as for me, it is still better to Raw, as you can fix the shoals of your settings :) The benefit of the "Ravka" give a huge space for action, and with the scenes you can do everything that your heart. In general, this is a very good semi-professional camera, which is very much aimed at the "Pro" segment

Rating: 5 out of 5

Advantages: The camera is light, compact, comfortable. Autofocus is out of all praise, chain and fast. The bright viewfinder allows you to safely focus with manual lenses, which is relevant to me. Also perfectly shows the old optics of the FA series. The price is also in my opinion the dignity of the TC on the K-1 and KP money I did not have enough (((

Disadvantages: After the transition from K-5, it was necessary to fall from the abundance of the buttons, but in the mode M and p, they are not particularly needed in my opinion. So this is not a lack of more, but a comparison.

Rating: 5 out of 5

Advantages: Magnificent Very natural color reproduction, excellent whale travel lens (despite the presence of 3 lenses from third-party manufacturers - wide-angle, body / macro and highly oral, whale is used in 80% of cases). High level ergonomics. Lightweight and compactness with a whale lens allows you to travel on a business trip and at conferences to have a Pentax K70 in a bag with yourself constantly together with the papers (for this I made a special soft compartment on a business bag with a lid). Also a big advantage is low price Systems based on this camera. So for 350,000 rubles I have 4 lens, tripod, outbreak, 3 bags, filters, etc. I really want to note the exact adjustment of autofocus under third-party lenses: even a significant front-focus on the Chinese has been safely adjusted. Also, Helios 44m was tried from old Zenith with a branded adapter. It takes off well, but the button of the jumping diaphragm of this lens for something clings and the camera sometimes freezes. Other rabbit lenses with M42 thread without a jumping diaphragm and branded adapter without problems.

Disadvantages: The front control wheel is close to the inclusion lever.

Immediately I will say that I have nothing against full-length cameras. They make it possible to shoot with poor lighting, a wide dynamic range (elaboration in lights and shadows), and if there is an appropriate optics, you get wonderful rear-line blur (bokeh). True, it has to pay for dimensions and weight.

In principle, this article could be finished, but I will continue. Every time a professional camera falls into hand, the first thing I think - how beautiful it is! This incredible beauty is black brick, belonging to the brand of which only a real expert can distinguish from afar. Immediately I remember my first 20D - it seems that in these 12 years the world has changed beyond recognition, but not black professional boxes. Here, not one engineer and designer broke their spears on each other for the last decades, and it is obvious: nothing can be improved.

No offense will be told to fans of Pentax, but, in my opinion, with the release of a full-format camera, the company was late for ten years. Many have already thought that it will never be, because there are promising developments of Ricoh compact cameras, the average format flagship 645D and even digging mirrors. Photographers sometimes even joked that it is necessary to simply cut off a piece of matrix 33 × 44 mm (Pentax 645D) to get 24 × 36 mm and a new chamber. And as soon as it happened, a full-length camera appeared on the light, and not the photographers cut the matrix, she immediately found her buyer.

Comparatively low cost relative to other manufacturers of ful-frame cameras and the abundance of used lenses in the secondary market (remember those who did not wait and changed the system?) Played the company's hand. Some photographers, especially amateur photographers, those who have long thought about changing their old Foul Frama Canon or Nikon on something more modern, began to study the technical characteristics with interest. It is necessary to pay tribute to the chamber almost all that is in the market: five-litty stabilization, horizon correction feature, Pixel Shift Resolution, 2 memory cards, built-in GPS, Wi-Fi, recording video Full HD, etc. .

Since different cameras of one generation and similar classes are approximately like cars, "classmates", then you need to choose them solely on the basis of personal preferences. After all, the difference in the pictures is so small that when buying a camera and lenses, it can be seen, perhaps only with a multiple increase. Also, therefore, our magazine is trying to bypass the topic of tests by the side, because if you look at the materials of colleagues, all the cameras are good, very high quality and wonderful. And if there is no difference, why spend your time reading reviews?

In early 2016, Ricoh has released a full-frame K-1 mirror, and at the time of our test it is already available in Russia. The camera is equipped with a full-frame sensor 35.9 x 24 mm with a matrix of 36.4 megapixels. K1 - Flagship of the Pentax Model Row and direct competitive such popular cameras as Nikon D810 and Canon 5D Mark III. Can K-1 be able to compete with Canon and Nikon in the segment of cameras for professionals and will this mirror find their fans in Russia? Does she feel good to make a choice in favor of the Pentax system?

As soon as K-1 came to us for testing, we immediately tried the camera in the case: removed portraits, landscapes, night plots and video. Complete with the camera, Ricoh provided us with a battery handle and 2 lens specifically designed for K-1: 24-70 and 43 mm. In addition, K-1 supports the large Pentax optics park with KA / KAF / KAF2 bayonets.

The K-1 kit with the lens 24-70 stands without a small 250,000 rubles, and it is really not suiced. Does camera justify such costs? The rates are very high! As part of our tests on the photo-fire channel, we tested a lot of Nikon and Canon models, we will try to be objective, but still we will sometimes compare K-1 with competitors.

Key features of PENTAX K-1

• Full-frame matrix resolution 36.2 MP type CMOS without smoothing filter
• 5-axis image stabilization
• Pentaprizm type viewfinder with 100% frame coating
• 33-point autofocus, 25 points of cross-type
• All-weather protection housing
• Synchronization with flash 1/200 sec.
• 14-bit RAW (DNG or PEF)
• Function 4-pixel shift for high resolution filming
• Built-in GPS module with electromagnetic compass
• High-speed shooting 4.4 frame per second (6.5 to / s in Krop mode APS-C)
• Built-in Wi-Fi module
• Video in 1080 / 30p format

Who is this camera for?

K-1 is positioned as a camera for professionals, for the body will have to lay out about 150,000 rubles. First of all, this is a working tool. K-1 can be interesting to portraights, wedders, lovers of landscape shooting and partly reporters, although the camera does not differ in ultra-high shooting speed. K-1 will be interesting to those photographers that only choose the first full-frame mirror or even the system as a whole. Not much there is a lot of professionals who venture to go with Canon or Nikon to another system, especially in the current crisis realities, because it is a change of optics and accessories, and these are very high costs.

For those who begin with a blank sheet, or, let's say, sold their equipment, but decided to seriously engage in photography, we recommend paying close attention to K-1. After all, this camera is practically devoid of shortcomings and the quality of shooting and characteristics is not inferior to Nikon and Canon. The difference is in the details. Perhaps the only area where the camera is inferior to competitors - shooting video. For video music, this camera will not be as interesting, K-1 has no support for 4k and video capabilities of the camera at the average level. For such money, the video video will rather pay attention to Sony A7SII, there is support for 4k, tracking focus and high-quality shooting in the dark. Element Pentax K-1 - Photography, and photo camera removes worthy!

How does she shoot?

Removes K-1 fantastic. We tested the camera in a wide variety of light conditions: they shot portraits on the sunset sun, at dusk and in the evening urban streets. K-1 is revealed to full with the pentax light optics. You can safely use ISO up to 6400 when shooting - thanks to the noise reduction system, the graininess in the pictures will be practically invisible. This camera will allow you to remove without using the flash in those situations where budget seals will not cope.

What is the secret? As they say, the devil in the details! And to all the details, Pentax engineers approached all seriousness. Removing on K-1, you realize that the work was done thoughtfully and thoroughly. K-1 gives greater freedom to the photographer! The camera relieves perfectly in JPEG, while skidding and the ability to customize the camera can be obtained by JPEG images of excellent quality. If there are insufficient shooting skills, you can shoot in RAW, even if it is randomly put up incorrectly some parameter, if processing, you can easily correct it.

So let's see what is capable of K-1 and consider the camera more!

And now in detail about the characteristics and features of shooting on K-1

Housing

K-1 is made in a metal case, the camera is protected from moisture, from dust, the manufacturer guarantees stable operation to -10. Since we were tested by 1 in the summer, there were no opportunities to check frost resistance. Do not put the same camera in the refrigerator :) Mooring is good, but you should not perceive it literally. It is not worth dive with the camera under the low rain on K1 - it is still not worth dive with the camera, it is not calculated for it.

Processor and matrix

Camera's brain - PRIME IV image processing processor and CMOS sensor with a size of 35.9 × 24.0 mm, with a resolution of 36.4 million pixels. If you shoot in the RAW format, the output takes pictures of 45-60 MB! So reserve memory cards and external hard, friends :) otherwise you will often see on the K-1 screen, the message "Memory card is filled" :)

Pentax K-1 provides images of ultra-high resolution, with smooth transitions and excellent quality even on high sensitivity. By the way, K-1 maximum sensitivity 204 800 ISO! Two hundred four thousand eight hundred ISO units! Of course, we tested how the camera works on high ISO, and here are the results:

100	400	800
1600	3200	6400
12800	25600	51200
102400	204800

Viewfinder

Viewfinder K-1 displays 100% frame area. This is important for accurate construction of the composition of the frame - what we see, then we get. The image in the viewfinder is visible very well, the main shooting parameters and focus confirmation are read without problems. In addition, it can include the grid, it really helps build a frame and keep the horizon smooth.

Screen

The camera is equipped with a LCD monitor of a rotary-inclined type with a diagonal of 3.2 inches and a resolution of 1037000 points. The screen is not touch, there is a Live View mode that supports shooting in photo and video mode. We see this screen design for the first time, although there were already quite a few cameras. The screen has several convenient adjustments: for shooting with a low point or on the elongated hands. In general, it seems that with the on-screen engineers, the engineers were slightly :) But the discovered design also does not deliver, except that the screen can scratch, since it cannot be rotated the workpiece to the camera housing.

Let us give an example of using a rotary screen. For example, turning the screen, it is convenient to shoot such portraits. Now the photographer does not have to go to the grass! You only need to rotate the screen and shoot in Live View mode!

In addition to the swivel, there is a second small screen in the chamber to which the main parameters are displayed - for example, it is very convenient during night shooting. In K-1, not only the backlight of the second information screen was made, but invented to highlight the bayonet and a memory card slot! Trifle, and how comfortable when shooting in the dark!

Management and Ergonomics

The camera is very comfortable in hand, all control is thought out to the smallest detail. Even if you take the camera of the Pentah system for the first time, quickly understand enough. The camera case is performed very well, all switches and buttons are made high quality. Take the camera in hand. Please note how correctly the wheels of selecting parameters are competent: a thumb of the right hand is convenient to twist the function selector, the first and second selector selectors of the settings. Also under the right hand, a photo / video switch is conveniently implemented, the ISO ISO and Exposure Correction Button.

On the front of the housing there is a joystick, a picture of the pictures, enter the menu and info. All these buttons are also convenient to press with your fingers right.

Under the left hand is implemented a disk of the shooting modes of PASM, it, by the way, can be blocked this lever. In the locked position, it can still be twisted, holding the button on top of the disk. Also on the left side of the case are the Live View mode buttons and select the exposal mode. From the side next to the lens there are several buttons hidden from the eye of the photographer, during the shooting they need to be pressed or pressing the touch or turn the chamber. To switch from autofocus on manual, Autofocus modes button and functional configurable button. The above is the lock button of all control wheels, it can be convenient in some shooting situations.

Menu

The first time entering the menu K-1, you expect to see something strongly confusing and complex with a lot of tabs and incomprehensible parameters!

But to our pleasant surprise, the menu in K-1 turned out to be no less convenient than key control. Since the screen in K-1 is not a touch, switching over the menu only with the joystick. The first 5 menu tabs refer to the photo shooting settings, then two to the video settings. You can then configure the viewing modes on the screen, further camera settings, and then 26 custom settings for fine camera settings for yourself. With these settings you need to be extremely attentive and give a report that you are setting up. If suddenly you were fascinated by these settings and did something wrong and forgot what - here you can reset all user settings by clicking on "Reset My Installations".

K-1 has the ability to configure 5 user modes for all possible shooting situations. Thus, you can configure the modes you need and forget about the menu.

Weight

The chamber weighs 1010 grams along with power elements. If you install a battery handle and lens on it 24-70, the weight of the chamber becomes significant. All day with her no longer take a walk, not to mention that hanging it on the neck is hard! Such a kit will be relevant when shooting in the studio, but for shooting at the captivity, more easily fix 43 mm is preferable - it is convenient to removed with it and the camera does not seem hard.

Autofocus

PENTAX K-1 is equipped with a Safox 12 AF autofocus module with 33 focusing sensors, 25 of which are cruciform. Three sensors in the center are particularly sensitive for light optics. Autofocus module K-1 - Dropped and located in the center of the frame. It can deliver some inconvenience when shooting, but you can get used to it.

Focusing the camera quickly, autofocus works for sure. The selection of the autofocus point is implemented very conveniently, on the front panel of the case you need to click on this button, then set the focus point in the desired location.

In the chamber is implemented by a tracking focus that works confidently, holding an object in the frame.

Speed \u200b\u200bshoot

PENTAX K-1 can make continuous series of 17 shots in RAW format (or 70 shots in JPEG format with maximum resolution and quality *** ), at the maximum shooting speed of approximately 4.4 frames per second. K-1 is not a high-speed camera (for example, Canon 5D Mark III removes 6 frames per second).

Video

K-1 - a universal camera for those photographers who have time from time to time it is necessary to record a video clip in good quality.

Video can be recorded both in semi-automatic mode and in a fully manual, adjusting the exposure, the volume level of sound recording.

Video can be recorded in HD and Full HD permissions with a maximum frequency of 60 frames per second, using the H.264 codec. The camera has connectors for connecting an external microphone and headphones. Maximum video size - 4 GB, duration 25 min.

To enable video shooting mode, you need to switch the photo selection / video to the "Video" position. Then switch the chamber to Live View mode and select manual shooting mode. In this mode, all shutter speed changes, diaphragms and ISO are visible on the screen. You can focus both using autofocus and manually.

If you decide to focus manually, you need to use the picture to increase the image - you need to click on the OK button on the joystick, and an enlarged image fragment will appear on the screen. Using the second selection selector, you can enlarge the image from 2x to 16x. Configuring the focus and aligning the horizon, will remain just clicking on the video record button!

K-1 also has the ability to select the autofocus point in Live View mode. To do this, click on the Autofocus Mode button and select "Many points" mode. Then you need to click on the button to select the focus point above the joystick, the screen will appear on the screen. Now, using the second parameter selection wheel, you can change the focus area, increase or decrease it.

In the manual focus mode there is a focus picing, the camera will highlight on the area of \u200b\u200bthe area entering the focus field.

Unfortunately, there is also flaws:

• The tracking autofocus does not work in video mode. The camera will not follow the movement of the shooting object.
• Professional videographers will be upset by the absence of the ability to give an uncompressed HDMI signal.

Time Laps.

PENTAX K-1 allows you to shoot a time-lapse with a 4K resolution (3840x2160 pixels) through a specified interval and automatically combine frames in the video stream. Timelaps turns on in the high-speed shooting modes menu, here you need to select interval and next - interval video. It will only be left to configure the interval, for example 1 frame at 5 seconds. After shooting, the camera will automatically record a video clip on the memory card. If you want to get at the output not a video, and a set of 1000 Zhidegov - please! There is such an opportunity.

Stabilization

In K-1, an 5-axis image stabilizer is implemented to help repay the oscillations of the matrix when shooting with hands. Since there are no optical stabilization at lenses, this system should help when shooting without a tripod under insufficient lighting. Check how it works! Look at our portraits, filmed in the evening after sunset.

Evening photo: 43 mm F / 2.0, 1/30, ISO 1600, AWB	Night photo: 43 mm F / 2.2, 1/60, ISO 3200, AWB

Not bad! But still, over the exposure it is better to follow and should not fully rely on the fact that stabilization will help.

Displacement mode 4 pixels

Each-franged camera should have a chip, raisin! In K-1, this is a displacement mode of 4 pixels. This mode works like this: when shooting, the camera shifts the matrix to one pixel, to then synchronize all four frames into one final picture. Here are the pluses of shooting in this mode:

• The detail increases, the resolution becomes higher, color transitions are much more clearly manifested, the colors become more natural.
• Low noise levels. This is achieved by shooting in 4 frames, the camera captures four times more light, which reduces the level of noise. The reduced noise level allows you to shoot with higher ISO values, expanding the dynamic snapshot range.
• A clearer image. The camera records the mechanical shutter and the mirror using the electronic shutter when shooting. This will eliminate the effect of oscillations that can be caused by a mechanical shutter.

The displacement mode of 4 pixels is suitable for shooting static landscapes or subject shooting from a tripod. If some object is moving in the frame, it will be lubricated.

HDR

The HDR camera will remove and smoke in JPEG or even in Raw! HDR glues frames in RAW automatically. At the same time, the RAW file is obtained by the volume as much as 160 MB! So much valuable information there :) Look our example, we removed from the hands in the rain in Raw.

shooting from hand in Raw - without processing

RAW with the correction of lights and shadows

100% - visible inconsistency. In the style of HDR, it is better to shoot static objects.

Expansion of dynamic range

In K-1, there is a shooting mode in the dynamic range expansion mode. You can enable the mode of study of bright and dark areas.

Wi-Fi

The camera implements Wi-Fi and GPS technologies. Through Wi-Fi, you can fully control the camera from the mobile device. To confline the camera and the smartphone you need to download the ImageSync application from the PlayMarket or AppStore, select the Pentax K-1 camera model in it, enter a password that can be found in the Wi-Fi settings menu in the chamber. We tested the ImageSync application on two models of smartphones: LG G5 and iPhone 5S.

GPS.

Thanks to the built-in GPS module and electronic compass, the camera registers and records the location coordinates, height above the sea level, azimuth and accurate satellite time to the metadata.

Optics

Included in the K-1 kit: zoom 24-70 mm with a constant luminosity 2.8 (the full name it sounds like this: HD PENTAX-D FA 24-70mm F2.8ED SDM Wr) and a light fiction 43 mm 1.9 (full name: SMC PENTAX-FA 43mm F1.9 Limited).

24-70

Good quality zoom with moisture protection. It is suitable for portrait and wedding filming, reporting and work in the studio. The design of the lens is very comfortable, there is no backlash, the change of focal length occurs smoothly.

From 24-70 K-1 looks very solid - a real instrument of a professional! If you still wear a battery handle ... then there will be a fire at all! One but! Such a kit will be hard to wear in hand, as the lens 24-70 is really heavy.

43 mm

Gorgeous lens! Easy, comfortable and compact. How he draws and blurs the background. It is fantastic. An indispensable tool! With a fixture of 43 mm, the camera is easier than with others, convenient when shooting at the captivity or travel.

Oldskaya optics

K-1 Compatible with the classic Pentax optics, we managed to get this old manual zoom SMC Pentax-A Zoom 1: 4 70-210!

When focusing K-1 gives a signal when focusing occurred on the object, but when objects are much better to make 2-3 snapshot, adjusting the focus in different ways.

Given the cost of new optics, you can safely consider the purchase of used lenses for reasonable money, a lot of proposals!

In K-1 there is a choice of an angle of review. You can choose or Full Frame or APS-C depending on the lens used. In case you for us someday, it is overn for K-1 a scratched lens, this function will help you out.

RAW correction directly in the chamber

In K-1, it is possible to correct RAW directly in the chamber. An excellent feature that can actually help the photographer while shooting a report or an outbound photo shoot. Removing in RAW, you can crouch the image, apply filters, turn on noise suppression mode and save to JPEG by selecting the desired quality parameters. Thus, the photographer does not need to rewrite the files on the laptop and generally you can not take it with you on the shooting. There will be enough smartphone.

Scope of camera and smartphone on Wi-Fi can quickly publish a snapshot or send it to the customer. We really liked how it works! Having tried once in a coffee cafe, Raw conversion right in the chamber we used this feature many times and recommend that you! Of course, for careful treatment, intracererous conversion is not suitable, but for example, for bloggers it is very convenient! Your subscribers will always be aware of your shooting, traveling and events.
