Samsung WB2200 60x optical zoom camera

08.01.2014

Launched in July last year, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 digital camera was the first in the world to offer users a 60x optical zoom. Six months later, a camera with such an impressive optical zoom appeared at Samsung. The novelty, which debuted at the beginning of CES 2014, was named WB2200.

Samsung WB2200 received a lens that covers a range of focal lengths from 20 to 1200 mm, the maximum aperture changes from F / 2,8 to F / 5,9 as the focal length changes. The developers, of course, did not forget about the presence of an optical stabilization system.

The camera is equipped with a 1/2,3-inch BSI CMOS image sensor with a resolution of 16,3 million pixels, an electronic viewfinder, Wi-Fi and NFC wireless modules. NFC is used to quickly pair the camera and a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), while Wi-Fi is used to transfer pictures to mobile devices or by e-mail, as well as to update the device firmware.

Display Samsung WB2200 is characterized by a diagonal of 3 inches and a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels.

Samsung WB2200 allows you to record Full HD video at 30 fps, when you lower the resolution to 384 x 288 pixels, 240 fps becomes available. When taking photos, intelligent auto and full manual modes are available. SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are used to store photo and video materials, and AV and HDMI video outputs are used to display pictures on a large screen.

The design of the WB2200, which is non-standard for a compact camera, attracts attention. As the creators note, this form of the case provides a more comfortable grip, and, in addition, allows you to place a high-capacity battery.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Wiring increases 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi coverage 08.03.2014

TP-Link announced the start of deliveries of TL-WPA4220KIT kits. With their help, you can increase the coverage of the 802.11b / g / n Wi-Fi network through the use of electrical wiring. The kit includes two Powerline adapters: TL-PA4010 and TL-WPA4220. The first is used to connect an existing router to the power grid to communicate with the second at speeds up to 500 Mbps. The second acts as a router with support for Wi-Fi (speed up to 300 Mbps) and two Ethernet ports.

The communication range between the adapters is up to 300 m, which makes it possible to connect different floors of a residential building or office to the network.

Connection is simplified by the presence of Pair and Wi-Fi Clone buttons. Clicking on the first one automatically establishes a connection between adapters protected by AES encryption with a 128-bit key, and clicking on the second one clones the Wi-Fi router settings. If you move the kit components to another location, you do not need to reconfigure them.

The adapters comply with the HomePlug AV, IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, and IEEE802.11b/g/n specifications.
The set costs $60.
