The latest Nikon patents

By [NR] admin | Published: October 30, 2015

Nikon-self-driving-car-patent
After the smart bottle, Nikon has another weird patent for some kind of a device (a camera?) for cars. Maybe Nikon is thinking to get into the self-driving/autopilot car revolution that has been making headlines lately? The patent descriptions is for a “crime preventing” device – in case of an emergency, the car will send images to the police, display a warning message, lock the doors and seatbelt and self-drive itself to the nearest police station.

Shooting in the wild Tanzania with the Nikon D800

Onn Henner (Facebook | YouTube) on shooting in he wild Tanzania with the Nikon D800:

Last March I spent 11 days shooting in Tanzania, using two Nikon D800 bodies with Atomos Ninja 2 as an external recorder.

My goal was getting the maximum quality from the D800. Whilst most of the cameras today have internal 4K the Nikon has 1080P with a bad H.264 codec and it suffers from antialiasing and moire. The solution was combining the Tassin flat picture profile together with the Atomos Ninja 2. That way I was able to get flat and clean video with Avid codec which was great later for postproduction.
