IT168 evaluation in September this year, Sony brought a new lens machine QX30. the so-called lens machine is the lens shape of the camera, although no viewfinder can only be blind shooting, but can be connected to the phone through NFC or Wi-Fi - so that the cell phone screen as a touchable viewfinder for manipulation. Enough novelty and creativity, Sony is really black technology professionals. Although the lens machine is small, but the quality of the editor amazed a: high-end G lens, optical stabilization system, 30 times zoom, plus the latest 20.4 megapixel back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, near and far, high and low, humanities scene machine to capture. The most important thing is that you can sweep the camera in all directions without dead angle, holding and holding hanging on the top of the head (no one will be on top of it) are all proper, accidentally play on the addiction - simply can not stop the editorial stay. Here must use Sony's previous advertisement exclamation: "Better than Bigger" (the online translation is played bad everyone or ...... will be).

Summary:
Novel appearance, compact size, perverted telephoto end, built-in NFC& Wi-Fi, 20.4 megapixels. Black technology professional Sony's QX30, in the review always let me have the urge to internal cow full of face, the sky long wail "too awesome ah" - in fact, in order to face (the inside is rotten also face) did not long wail, but touched is quite a lot.
QX let me see a new way out of the DC camera, DC machine can also jump out of a thousand styles, for the young people like fresh fun things have a very big attraction. In addition, QX30 can be hung on the phone, and in the days of cell phone with a "click", QX lens machine not only improves the zoom of the cell phone when taking pictures, but also improves the picture quality of the photos. QX30 current price of about 2500 yuan is still a good deal, after all, can be used as a card machine, can also be used as a cell phone equipment, as well as maneuverability and playability is really good.
Appearance description
Technology, perfect details and smooth lines
QX30 hanging on the phone is very windy, earning a lot of turn-around rate (the actual test of the majority of people who first saw it, do not know it is a god), and of course, the first reaction will be to think that this is a High-tech products. Grip in the hand when shooting, the feel is also very great, small and fun camera simply do not want to let go.P.S Although as a camera is really light and lovely, but hanging on the phone is still some weight, it is recommended to use one hand to hold the lens machine.

Shooting mode
Shooting with phone
Connect with cell phone to shoot
First of all, download Play memories mobile APP (there is a QR code on the manual of the camera to scan and download, it takes 3 minutes), the upgraded APP can be adjusted aperture, shutter, ISO and so on, so that its control is not much different from the ordinary camera. And the lens machine can also be remote control with a cell phone, not necessarily next to each other (personally tested the lens machine in the bedroom, the phone in the living room control is completely feasible).
Step 1: Open the camera & and Play memories mobile APP. If the phone supports NFC function, touch the phone and the camera to search for the target object; Wi-Fi connection needs to search for the name of the camera in the WLAN.
Step 2: After the target pairing, you need to enter the connection password of the lens machine (just enter it once for the first connection), the password is on the inside of the battery cover (I was looking for a long time Q.Q).
Step 3: Start the interface operation, the upgraded APP is very good, you can choose your own shooting mode, adjust the aperture focus ISO, set the image size, self-timer continuous shooting and so on.
Multi-angle all-round playability is extremely strong
The following is the main event, about playing bad QX30 all kinds of play. I think street sweeping is fun, but it's not very nice to point a camera at someone, plus everyone basically ducks when they see a stranger pointing a camera at you. QX30 novelty appearance, compact size is a good solution to this dilemma: 1. other people do not know that the camera is capturing him, you pretend to play with the phone down on the line. 2. small, the object can not see the shooting will not hide. So this is what I do most of the time ...... (They say my pose is obscene! I lewd? Can tolerate it!)
Since it's an omni-directional lens machine then it can be like this ......
▲You can let the QX30 shoot at a bottom-to-top angle
Also like this ...... (This placement is easy to jeopardize the life of the camera, and is only used as a schematic) p>▲ Find some cover to hide the lens machine into ...... (police uncle is this person!)
Of course, if you have to play like this, then ......
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! attachments to keep the camera alive), because of the center of gravity it could slip and fall to the ground, resulting in an irreversibly large cutlery.
Continuous Shooting and Telephoto
The QX30's continuous shooting speed is more than 10 frames per second, which isn't suitable for high-speed sports, but it can capture pets and small children's expressions in poses. The telephoto shooting ability is strong, and can be used as a bird hunting tool.
1/2.3-inch CMOS resolution is average
Below is a photo of the QX30 using F5.6 aperture ?ISO100 in a standard environment
▲Select the four red-boxed area 100% screenshot
From the picture, you can see that the QX30's resolution is average, and USD The lines on the faces and clothes are clearer, which is enough for daily shooting.
▲Color temperature is reddish suitable for portraits
After Imatest software analysis, the QX30's color shift direction is more reddish under auto white balance conditions. This means it is more suitable for portraits.
High-sensitivity effect needs to be improved Recommended for daytime shooting
The QX30 can manually adjust the sensitivity compared to the QX10 and QX100, ISO100-3200, and take photos in standard environments using an F5.6 aperture at all sensitivities to see what the QX30 is capable of.
Unless noise reduction is on, the sensitivity slices at each stop are compared, and from ISO 400 onwards there is noise, while ISO 800 is usable but is already starting to be off-color. It's a little unfortunate, so it's still recommended to shoot with the QX30 during the day.
