What occurs in these instances is a frustrating phenomenon known as "parallax error". Stated simply, it is the result of the camera having one lens through which the camera focuses and records images and another lens through which the photographer views the scene to be shot. The two views are not identical and thus, the image that results is not always as we envisioned it through the viewfinder. This error is most pronounced when shooting at close range; such as in most "portrait" type shots.

Even those of us who are amateurs can avoid "parallax error" by one of just a few methods.

?Use the correction marks. Many digital cameras provide lines that can be seen through the viewfinder which approximate the border of the image being taken to visualize what the lens is truly seeing. The photographer then needs to adjust the shot as necessary. Reading the owners manual will reveal whether a given camera has this feature.

?Use the LCD to frame the shot. The LCD screen better represents the image that the picture-taking lens is seeing. There are limitations however with this method. First, the LCD screen is sometimes difficult to view in bright, outdoor light making it difficult to use in such situations. Secondly, the LCD screen on many digital cameras displays only 85% of what the lens sees which can result in more of a scene being captured versus less The final drawback is simply the extra energy required to operate the LCD. An electronic viewfinder is another option. An EVF takes the image captured by the lens and electronically transfers it onto a display screen.

?Consider the purchase of a digital camera with a TTL mechanism. The parallax error occurs with any TLR (twin lens) camera but not those with a TTL mechanism (through-the-lens). With TTL, the photographer views a scene through the same lens that records the image and is thus able to frame a scene accurately. SLR (single lens reflex) cameras use TTL. These cameras however, are considerably more expensive, bulky and complicated than a compact or traditional point and shoot type camera although for an avid amateur the additional control they offer to the photographer is a tremendous asset.

For the average consumer, a compact or point-and-shoot camera is the product of choice due to their portability and ease of use. Even with these more basic models, use of the correction marks or the LCD screen to frame shots taken at close range can help to significantly reduce any parallax error. For others who may want more creative control and don't mind a larger and more complicated camera,

With Xmas heading towards us at an ever growing rate, now is the time of year that most of us review what state our own TV and DVD players are in so as not to miss out on all of the latest TV and Satellite movies. The following article is to help some of you who might be interested in buying a Loewe Xelos SL32 HD make up your mind.

No longer an easy decision to make, buying your new TV is now a major financial investment. If you are going to spend what could be considered a small fortune or at the very least a large amount of money then it would be prudent to try and make the correct decision at the outset.

Given the speed and rapidity of technological advances nowadays think carefully about whatever purchase you make and try and ensure within reason the future compatibility of your TV with industry standards.

Digital television (DTT) is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound by means of digital signals, in contrast to analogue signals used by analogue (traditional) TV. Introduced in the late 1990s, this technology appealed to the television broadcasting business and consumer electronics industries as offering new financial opportunities.

For the purposes of this article we want to take a look at purchasing a new Flat Screen Television and in this case the television in question is the Loewe Xelos SL32 HD.

The Xelos SL32 HD is a 32in LCD TV and currently these TV's can be found for 1400 pounds sterling or 2800 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Loewe has 2 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the Xelos SL32 HD uses is DVI and 1. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and the Loewe is available from limited outlets only.

So how would we rate the Loewe Xelos SL32 HD?

Well to start with our score for the picture quality is 10 out of 10, and for the sound quality we would rate it at 8 out of 10. Taking a look at the number of relevant connections and their availability, our score would be 8 out of 10. If we take a look at the overall "featureability" our score would be 10 out of 10 if we then take a look at the ease of use and overall value for money then our scores would be, 8 out of 10 and 8 out of 10 respectively.

Finally our overall opinion would be described by one report as being uncompromising and by that we take the view that what you see is what you get with this TV. You do get extremely good value for money with this Set and the picture quality alone is straight out of the top drawer so to speak. The added bonus for all those out there who like to view certain prgammes at....er (cough)....a later date then you have an 80 GB HDD to help you accomplish this data storage.

With the wide range and variety of makes and models available for you to choose from it is unlikely that you will not find something to suite your taste or satisfy any budgetary constraints that you might have.

It probably doesn't need repeating but might be an idea, this is only our opinion of the Loewe Xelos SL32 HD and not an official endorsement of the Loewe Xelos SL32 HD either way, good or bad.

Please bear in mind the prices that are quoted in this article and take note that they are there purely for illustration and though valid at the time of the writing of the article may vary from time to time and also depending on the time of year when you make your purchase.
