You can take astrophotography up to 96MP with High Resolution mode on the Panasonic Lumix S5

-

Panasonic Lumix S5 just launched in New Zealand and a photographer took the opportunity that night was clear, so I tested the High Resolution feature to see the capabilities of the machine.

  • Panasonic launches the Lumix S5 camera: Compact, full-frame camera for both photo and video capture
  • Compare Sony a7C with Sony a6600, Sony a7 III and Panasonic S5 cameras

This mode will take 8 photos, shift the sensor (sensor shift) each photo slightly to form a large image and reduce image noise compared to a picture taken once. In previous versions of the High Resolution mode on Lumix S1 or S1R, the feature that allowed ISO up to 3200 and exposure times up to 1 second, was not suitable for Milky Way photography. But with the new version on Lumix S5 that allows up to 8 seconds of exposure to be able to capture the Milky Way better.

In addition to this High Resolution mode, the photos taken from the camera are also very beautiful and clear, no less than a professional camera at all.

Sony Alpha Rumors has released the first leaked photos of the Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro lens for the L-mount, which will be available for the E-mount soon.

This new lens is expected to be released on September 30 and will be constructed with 17 lenses divided into 12 groups, with the closest focusing distance of 29.5 cm and maximum magnification. 1: 1. The lens will have a 9-blade aperture along with 135.6mm length for the E-mount and 133.6mm for the L-mount. Lens weight is about 715g for the E-mount, 710g for the L-mount. of the Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro is expected to be around 799 USD.

Using the SG3525 PWM Controller - Explanation and Example: Circuit Diagram / Schematic of Push-Pull Converter

-
Image
PWM is used in all sorts of power control and converter circuits. Some common examples include motor control, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters and lamp dimmers. There are numerous PWM controllers available that make the use and application of PWM quite easy. One of the most popular of such controllers is the versatile and ubiquitous SG3525 produced by multiple manufacturers – ST Microelectronics, Fairchild Semiconductors, On Semiconductors, to name a few. SG3525 is used extensively in DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, home UPS systems, solar inverters, power supplies, battery chargers and numerous other applications. With proper understanding, you can soon start using SG3525 yourself in such applications or any other application really that demands PWM control. Before going on to the description and application, let’s first take a look at the block diagram and the pin layout. Pins 1 (Inverting Input) and 2 (Non Inverting Input) are the inputs to the on-board error amplifier. If you a...

N-Channel MOSFET High-Side Drive: When, Why and How?

-
Image
I had previously shown how to drive N-channel MOSFETs in low-side configuration. You can find the tutorial here: http://electel.blogspot.com/2016/12/low-side-mosfet-drive-circuits-and_23.html I’ve been requested to write a tutorial/article regarding high-side MOSFET drive. So, here I’ll talk about N-channel MOSFET high-side drive. Let’s first look at the common low side configuration.  Fig. 1 - N-channel MOSFET configured as low-side switch Now let’s look at a MOSFET configured as a high-side switch. Fig. 2 - N-channel MOSFET configured as high-side switch You can quite easily see the difference between the high-side configuration and the low-side configuration. In the low-side configuration, the load is connected between the drain and +V, while the source is connected to ground. Thus, the gate drive is referenced to ground. So by applying a voltage of >7V (for Power MOSFETs) or >4V (for Logic Level MOSFETs), the MOSFET can be fully turned on. Now let’s talk about the high-si...

Zero crossing detection with PIC16F877A

Image
Zero crossing detection is very important, especially in power control circuits employing thyristors. I have come across many people struggling with zero crossing detection with PIC microcontroller and thus they cannot fire triacs or SCRs as required. So, here I have explained a simple method of detecting zero crossing with PIC16F877A, employing only two or three resistors, a bridge rectifier and an optocoupler for the hardware portion of zero cross detection.  The PIC 16F877A detects the zero crossing using the RB0/INT external interrupt function. I have explained how the zero cross is detected and how the PIC acts upon detection, below.   Fig. 1 - Schematic, zero crossing signal and RD0 signals --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the code for PIC16F877A: (You can download the source file from https://rapidshare.com/files/604474700/ZeroCrossing.c ) -------------------------------------------------...
