Hello Friends,
Since last few weeks I didn't used my camera due to frequent rain and yesterday I took it out to check and guess what? My lovely 35mm lens had 1 sq mm fungus in the corner. I keep all my lenses in individual air tight bottles with large silica gel inside each but I didn't expected this to happen on newly bought lens. :'(
Fortunately the fungus was on outer element of the lens and I could clean it using lens cleaning kit. However, I think fungus has etched the glass or coating because when I fog (breath) the front element, I could see 2 sq mm round spot but when the glass dries, its perfectly clean and no affect on pictures either.
May be I will have to live with it and hope fungus doesn't come back.
I was googling for more than an hour and I was kinda concluded that there is no app which will let us adjust aperture. The default app in Moto G4+, we can adjust shutter (couldn't go longer than 1/6th of sec), can adjust wb, iso too. We can tap to focus, does that means it's manual focus? And there is exposure compensation, the only thing left is aperture.
I will ask to check if this app has aperture control.
Most lowend and midend smartphones have semi-auto camera settings, just like point & shoot cameras.
When you tap the screen, you tell the camera where to focus. Just like we set a focus point in DSLR and half press shutter button to focus there. Its not really a manual focus. ISO, WB and Focus Points can be set or changed but Aperture, Shutter, Focusing is always auto. It has to do with the driver or API and may be also little hardware. To provide full manual camera settings, developers have to work hard which calls for more money.
Manual Camera and Camera FV-5 apps allow users to set Aperture, Shutter, Focus and RAW but firstly device has to support it. Here is the list of smartphones that support manual settings.
What is error code 1 in canon 1000D.
Any one faced this earlier ?
Heard earlier about this in new cameras too but it came recently in this 1000D + 18-55 lens only 3 years old.
I think cleaning the CPU connections of the lens and camera using IPA should solve the problem. There is no harm in trying this but do it carefully. First blow off any dust particles from the lens and camera body. Then apply little IPA into microfiber cloth and gently rub the contacts. You can also use cotton buds but make sure you don't take more IPA then required. Also becareful not to touch the rear lens element and camera mirror, either with your fingers or IPA. Dry the contacts with clean and dry microfiber or cotton cloth. Check this link for more info.
Thanks...
Best Regards
