Maximizing the LCD Light Camera Without Worry in Battery Wasting

Using a digital camera would not have been released by the LCD. LCD is very important to see the results of our photo capture. Earlier types of pocket cameras, the LCD can double as a preview and review our photo. But technological developments create almost any type of camera like a DSLR can use the LCD as a live viewfinder, meaning we can use the LCD as a preview and review our photo.

It is a fact that using the LCD will greatly affect the strength of battery used in our digital cameras. Therefore a lot of which suggested to reduce the use of the LCD if we want to save our battery consumption, although many photographers who still use the LCD without the worry of depleted batteries because they already provide battery backup sufficient for needs.

Currently, there is a technology that diperkenalakan by Sony Corporation. LCD technology is more efficient consumption batterynya but the display screen becomes brighter, Sony Corp. introduced a LCD screen for 3inchi that uses new technology called "WhiteMagic". First time in the world combining a white pixel LCD on the type of standard LCD (standard RGB) became WRGB = White Red Green Blue, so the results from the looks to be super bright. This new technology has been designed by Sony that the best quality picture is not lost because of an algorithm developed by Sony to make the images are processed first in order to maintain its quality despite the addition of white pixels. In addition to the lighter color and power consumption are more lace, this also increases the LCD MagicWhite angels around 160 degrees view of the left-right or from top-down (horizontal and vertical).
