Hi, your download link still gives me "Wrong IP". Guess I will have to wait for someone to provide alternative links.

New version v 6.0 now available with a wide number of changes

A few extra hints to those who could not fully understand a few features.


AE LOCK:

This feature generally uses some type of "switch" that locks the exposure for the shot, after the initial reading has been made.

Normally, your camera determines the proper exposure automatically, based on several factors such as the lighting conditions, F-stop, and type of metering used.

By not "locking in" the exposure, the camera will re-calculate it, based on changes to the above factors.

Why is Camera Auto Exposure Lock important?

One of the main reasons you would want to use exposure lock is when taking a photograph of a scene with significant differences is shadow, light, and contrast. Depending upon the metering mode used, your camera will attempt to "average out" the exposure for the entire photo. Normally this is great. However, not every time.

For situations where you want to emphasize a specific part of the picture, or change the composition to get creative, an "averaged exposure" just won't do. You can also manually control the exposure through exposure compensation, but using that approach is pretty much trial and error.

That is why your camera auto exposure lock (or, "AE-Lock") should be the preferred method. It is far more accurate.

Another reason to use auto exposure lock is to "freeze" or "lock in" the same exposure parameters. When and if you become interested in "stitching together" several photos to create one large panorama, you will want to lock your exposure. When AE Lock is used, all settings for aperture, shutter speed, exposure and white balance are kept identical until you unlock them.


Besides, it can help you take great panorama shots. Normally the exposure of the three sections does not seem to match each other, but with AE Lock, that bug can be overcome.



The above panorama shot was taken through a C905 using AE Lock.

RULE OF THIRDS:
The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.

Trojan001 was kind to add a rule-of -thirds image in an IC file for C905.
Download the IC pack Final v2 here: http://www.esato.com...hp?topic=196052

The image can be called to the screen by pressing the 0 button.
----------

FORCED FLASH:
This can be useful in photographing objects against a bright background. Normally that would cause the object to appear dark or underexposed, but forced flash may prevent it.

The second pic is awesome.
Made with a C905?

[witchking]

The rule of thirds image was taken from Wikipedia.

The remaining two were made by a C905

[Flo95]

Ok.

I've put the latest version from your site..6.5 on my c905 and when I browse through the camera menu the screen flickers very often. This is not normal..what could be the problem?

[FlatOut]

It's normal, happens sometimes after the screen comes back from WQVGA to QVGA

Didn't notice that..will be a long term problem for the display? And may I say that the drivers are really cool..Great work

hi,

i've put the language file in the approriate folder but text while using the camera is still the same. (  am i missing a step or what can i do to try and fix it...

[xuweisheng]

hi,

I am very interested in this drive!!!

May I know if it will work on W995?

Thanks you very much for your effort!!!

[Flo95]

It won't work with the W995.

No, W995 has a different cam sensor. this driver is only for C905

New version of Cybershot Xperience is on it's way

Change-log in v 7.0:

* New LNG file

* Improved Flash mode

* Added vertical, horizontal and vertico-horizontal mirroring in Manual settings (2) Can be useful in certain conditions


* Removed Colour Tints but retained the following useful colour tones:
Red (fiery)
Yellow (warm)
Green (scenery)
Blue (cool)
* Added Vivid and VDR modes

Vivid mode intensely improves colours in an image

VDR acts to expose all parts of image to produce an image like HDR.


* Video mode resolution in Night mode changed to 432 x 240 (BETA)
It can be played from file manager but not from the cam preview after recording.

* Improved image quality and all scenes.

* Many minor changes and fixes.

-------

Driver will be released tomorrow, all work done


Following images preview the greatly enhanced Flash mode of CX 7.0 (Coming soon) :wink:

Now the flash mode more accurately adjusts ISO and Exposure according to distance of object from the camera. No more over/under exposures.

Colour representation is improved as well :wink:

Original:


DM 3.8:


CX 7.0 (Providing accurate colours, (check the red) and totally free from over-exposure):

Another example, No over-exposure and accurate colours from CX 7.0:

Not only in Macro shots, but in distant shots too, flash mode exposes more of the background and captures more light:

Following shots were taken in a room where the lights were turned off :wink:
