作者 : Brian Dipert Tamron TAP-in Console多功能調焦器是第三方鏡頭用戶進行韌體更新與自訂參數設定的重要工具，但這個小巧裝置裡到底隱藏了什麼？ 相機鏡頭最初是完全機械式的(在某些情況下仍然如此；例如我使用的Rokinon電影鏡頭組)。使用者必須手動對焦、手動調整光圈，並手動變焦(針對非定焦鏡頭而言)。即使在光圈由相機機身控制的情況下(例如在快門優先模式或全自動曝光模式中)，相機與鏡頭之間的連接自然也是機械式的，而非電子式的。 然而，將現代鏡頭比作「電傳操控」(fly-by-wire)飛機是十分貼切的，因為現今大多數鏡頭皆為電子輔助，甚至可說是依賴電子元件。例如，光學影像穩定(OIS)就是一個例子，它利用電磁鐵與浮動鏡片元素，搭配多組陀螺儀與加速度感測器，以對抗一至多種不必要的相機系統運動變化： 軸向旋轉(滾轉) 水平旋轉(俯仰) 垂直旋轉(偏航) 以及水平與垂直的移動(例如因為搖鏡不穩所造成)...

Eleven years ago, my wife and I experienced the aftereffects of our first close-proximity lightning blast here in the Rocky Mountain foothills, clobbering (among other things) both five-port and eight-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches, both of which ended up going under the teardown knife.

Have you ever heard the idiom “ripping off the band-aid? With thanks to Wiktionary for the definition, it means:To perform a painful or unpleasant but necessary action quickly so as to minimize the pain or fear associated with it. That’s not what Apple’s doing right now with the end stages of its Intel-to-Apple Silicon transition, which kicked off five years ago (fifteen years, ironically, after its previous announced transition to x86 CPUs, two decades ago).

Article By : Brian Dipert Disposable vapes are an unnecessary, excessive waste. Here is one reason why. My recent teardown of a rechargeable vape device was…wow…popular.

My audio gearBack in July 2019, I told you about the combo of Massdrop’s x Grace Design Standard DAC:and its companion Massdrop Objective 2 Headphone Amp: Desktop Edition (Massdrop is now just Drop, by the way, and is now owned by Corsair): that I’d recently acquired for listening to computer-sourced audio over headphones in a quality-upgraded fashion beyond just the DAC (and amp-fed headphone jack) built into my Mac.
