Press Release:

London, UK, 26th August 2010 – Canon today announces the latest addition to its world-famous EOS series of Digital SLR (DSLR) cameras – the new EOS 60D. Replacing the EOS 50D, the EOS 60D is designed for photographers who want to take their skills to the next level, offering high performance, a series of creative features, a Vari-angle LCD screen and enhanced ergonomics – empowering photography enthusiasts to capture outstanding stills and Full High Definition (HD) video for unique, creative results.

High speed, high resolution

With an 18 Megapixel APS-C sensor, the EOS 60D offers high levels of detail and a magnification of 1.6x the focal length of the lens to capture poster-size images in a variety of aspect ratios*1. Canon’s powerful DIGIC 4 technology rapidly processes image information captured from the CMOS sensor’s four-channel output, providing outstanding colour reproduction, as well as high-speed shooting at 5.3fps in bursts of 58 full-resolution JPEGs.

A standard ISO range of 100-6400 is extendable to 12800, providing smooth images with minimal noise in low light conditions. A 9-point, all cross-type autofocus (AF) system also provides swift and accurate focusing, with an extra-sensitive centre point for lenses faster than f/2.8, allowing photographers to artistically employ a shallow depth of field during portraiture or for more atmospheric shooting.

The EOS 60D features Canon’s iFCL metering system, first introduced with the acclaimed EOS 7D, with a 63-zone Dual-Layer sensor. Information on subject location is gathered from the Auto Focus system, and is combined with colour and luminance readings for consistent accurate exposures whatever the situation. The Integrated Speedlite transmitter also provides in-camera control of multiple EX flash units for more creative lighting.

Shoot from all angles

A new 7.7cm (3.0”) Vari-angle wide LCD monitor features a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 1,040k dot resolution, providing added flexibility and allowing photographers to view their images in incredible detail. The Vari-angle wide LCD helps frame shots from difficult angles, and can be positioned with Live View enabled to achieve the desired composition if shooting isn’t possible using the viewfinder. The ability to capture wildlife portraits, overhead shots or ground-level photography is instantly enhanced, and the surface of the screen features an anti-reflective, water-repellent coating to protect the screen allows easy viewing in bright light and from a variety of angles.

Empowering creativity

A new Basic + function makes it easy for photographers to add their own creative touch to images without worrying about changing settings. Photographers can add ambiance to a scene by shooting according to lighting and scene type, with Portrait, Landscape, Close-Up, Sport, Night Snapshot or Creative AUTO modes all available. Different effects can be achieved by shooting with Basic + enhancements such as Daylight, Cloudy or Sunset or pre-set Picture Styles including Vivid, Soft, Warm or Monochrome.

Designed to provide power for those who wish to extend their creative vision, the EOS 60D features a host of new functions that help capture better images and in-camera effects to add an extra dimension. The powerful DIGIC 4 processor supports in-camera RAW image processing, allowing photographers to edit settings such as brightness, contrast, white balance or correct distortion or chromatic aberration. The edited image can then be resaved as a JPEG, ready to be printed or uploaded to a PC or the web.

For photographers who want to add post-production effects to their images without the need for expensive software, the EOS 60D also features a range of new creative filters that can be applied in-camera. Filters including Grainy B/W, Soft Focus, Toy Camera Effect and Miniature Effect provide images with a different feel, allowing photographers to create a themed collection – using Grainy B/W to give images a reportage style, for example – or easily smooth skin tone in portraits with Soft Focus.

EOS Movies: Full HD video with complete control

Offering photographers the freedom to go beyond stills, the EOS 60D captures 1920x1080p HD video with a variety of user-selectable frame rates, including 30, 25 and 24fps, as well as 720p video at 60 and 50fps. Movie Crop mode is also available, recording with the central 640×480 pixel area of the sensor to create an effective magnification of approximately seven times the focal length of the lens.

Full manual control in Movie mode allows photographers to employ their own exposure and focus settings and take advantage of the effects achieved from Canon’s wide range of EF lenses. An external stereo microphone terminal and the ability to adjust sound recording level ensures the audio track recorded matches the visual quality of the video, capturing broadcast-quality sound.

For those who want to share images with friends and family, an integrated HDMI port is compatible with Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI-CEC), allowing video and images to be viewed on any compatible HD-ready TV and controlled via the TV remote.

Designed for flexibility

The EOS 60D features a completely redesigned body, combining an ergonomically enhanced, curved shape with a new button layout to make it quick and comfortable for photographers to change settings. Frequently used camera controls are grouped together for easy access, while the Quick Control Dial, Multi-controller and SET button have all been merged into one Multi Control Dial, enabling photographers to operate menus and enter settings quickly using their thumb. The mode dial also features a lock button, preventing unintentional changes to settings mid-shoot.

A dedicated Quick Control access button allows photographers to instantly reach the most common shooting settings and playback controls. Customising the functions of a number of buttons is also possible, allowing photographers to tailor the camera to suit their individual needs. To help achieve landscapes with perfectly level horizons, a horizontal Electronic Level can be displayed in the viewfinder or in Live View to assist composition and remove any potential need for post-production correction.

The EOS 60D is one of the latest Canon models to support high-capacity SDXC memory cards, providing up to 2TB of available space, allowing photographers to keep shooting HD video and full resolution RAW and JPEG stills without changing cards. For better management of larger image libraries on the camera, EOS 60D photographers can add a rating of 1 to 5 to their favourite images, allowing them to be easily located and viewed on-screen. Once transferred from the camera to a PC, the tags can also be viewed using a number of image editing and management programs, including Canon’s DPP software.

Share the moment

For photographers who want to transfer content wirelessly, the EOS 60D includes Eye-Fi connected functions*2. The EOS 60D features a dedicated Eye-Fi section in the User Interface allowing WiFi functionality to be turned off when not required to save battery life

Canon Picture Style adalah salah satu fitur exclusive yang unik yang terdapat pada setiap kamera Canon EOS digital SLR yang menekankan pada pengaturan corak dan saturasi warna (color tones) yang disesuaikan dengan setiap subyek foto. Disampaing itu pula, disetiap picture style juga bisa diatur tingkat kekontrasan dan ketajaman sehingga diperoleh karakter foto yang cocok atau sesuai dengan selera masing-masing.

Canon sendiri sudah menyediakan 13 buah picture style, dan pada setiap kamera EOS digital sudah terdapat 6 buah preset picture style yang tepasang.

All EOS digital cameras with Picture Styles use the STANDARD setting as the factory default. In response to user suggestions, the Standard setting gives a very crisp, vivid appearance. Contrast, color saturation, and in-camera sharpening are all raised to deliver images that will be ready for most inkjet printing or on-screen applications. Alternatively, if you prefer results similar to previous EOS digital SLRs, the Neutral setting is recommended.

Selain itu, terdapat 3 buah tempat yang bisa anda pakai untuk menempatkan /install picture style pilihan anda sendiri sesuai dengan kebutuhan seperti skd ir style. Jadi dengan menambahkan pictute style baru di kamera tidak akan merusak ataupun tidak akan mengoprek kamera anda menjadi kamera IR jika anda memasang skd ir style pada kamera kesayangan anda. Karena seperti disebutkan diatas, bahwa picture style hanyalah sebuah fitur untuk mengatur tingkat kecerahan dan corak warna (color tones), contrast serta ketajaman hasil foto. skd ir style sendiri hanyalah sebuah picture style dengan ciri khas mentransformasikan warna hijau pada daun menjadi warna agak putih dan tidak akan menghasilkan foto IR atau lebih tepatnya hanyalah sebuah false colors saja. Jika anda ingin mendapatkan hasil foto infrared silahkan mengoprek kemera pada orang yang sudah berpengalaman dibidangnya.

Berawal dari browsing di internet saya menemukan foto di flickr hasil jepretan Kevin Wang yang ternyata sudah terkenal dalam hal mengolah picture style. Saya sangat tertarik dengan hasil fotonya yang sangat mirip dengan hasil foto ir dan mencoba untuk request picture style tersebut namun hanya diberikan tautan untuk download picture style versi gratisnya saja.

Akahirnya saya mencoba mempelajarinya sendiri karena pada Canon telah disediakan aplikasi untuk mengkreasikan picture style yang disebut dengan Picture Style Editor. Berbagai percobaan telah saya lakukan dan akhirnya saya mendapatkan picture style sesuai dengan keinginan saya, namun saya masih merasa kurang bagus.

Cara mendapatkan dan memasang skd picture style:

1. Download file di atas terlebih dahulu.
2. Extract file yang telah di download tersebut dan akan terdapat tiga (3) buah file yaitu: Aquamarine.pf2, Ruby.pf2 dan Perl.pf2
   antara kedua style tersebut perbedaan hanya pada warna saturasi / skin tones jika dipakai untuk memotret model, Ruby style warna kulit lebih cerah sedangkan, Perl style warna sedikit soft sedangkan Aqumarine style warnanya jauh lebih soft. Oh ya, Ruby style adalah sama dengan Godel style yang telah saya sharing sebelumnya baik di facebook maupun di bali fotografer.net
3. Penggunaan picture style:
4. a. Di pasang / install di kamera untuk dapat digunakan pada saat pemotretan – anda membutuhkan aplikasi EOS Utility versi 2.6 (atau yang terbaru*) dan kabel USB.  Step by step bisa ikuti langkah disini ya!b. Dengan menggunakan  aplikasi DPP (Digital Photo Professional versi 3.1 atau yang terbaru **) untuk RAW file, sebagai tambahan preset saat melakukan post processing pada sebuah foto raw file. Ikuti langkah demi langkah detailnya disini!

Beberapa contoh dari skd ir picture style style:

Tips penting:

• Selalu biasakan untuk memotret dengan pilihan mode RAW file pada Image-recording Quality setting pada. Walaupun terasa boros pada media penyimpanan photo, namun dengan raw file kita bisa secara leluasa untuk mengatur white balance, setting warna dan picture style pada saat post processing untuk mendapatkan hasil photo yang paling memuaskan.
• Pengaturan white balance saat pemotretan sangatlah penting, karena akan berpengaruh sekali pada hasil jepretan anda. Pastikan anda mengatur white balance (color temparature & white balance shift), contrast dan saturation pada kamera anda sesuai dengan kondisi saat pemotretan.

Selamat mencoba!

Layanan pengolah citra ini sangat cocok bagi yang hanya ingin menyunting fotonya secara cepat dan sederhana untuk ditampilkan di web blog, Facebook, Myspace Bebo, image sites like Flickr, Fotolog, Photobucket etc.

Berikut beberapa online photo editor pilihan yang pernah saya coba:

Pixlr - photo editing service yang dibangun dengan menggunakan Flash, sehingga untuk menjalankannya dibutuhkan Flash plug in (download flash) pada web browser. Tampilannya yang ramah dan tidak asing bagi yang sudah terbiasa dengan Photoshop. Pixlr sendiri telah memiliki dua buah aplikasi yang mereka sebut dengan Pixlr Editor dan Pixlr Express. Fitur-fitur tegolong lengkap yang terdapat diaplikasi ini diantaranya: The work environment, Working with layers, Making Color & Tonal Adjustments, Filters dan Transforming.

Pixlr dapat diakses melalui : http://www.pixlr.com/

Photoshop.com – Sebuah layanan online photo editor milik Photoshop. Tidak seperti Pixlr yang bisa langsung digunakan,  tapi pada layanan photoshop.com yang mengharuskan setiap pengguna untuk registrasi terlebih dahulu sebelum dapat menggunakan layanan mereka. Setiap photo yang mau diedit juga harus di upload terlebih dahulu, aplikasi ini memliki fitur yang lebih sederhana dibandingkan dengan Pixlr. Aplikasi pengolah citra ini dapat diakses melalui : https://www.photoshop.com/tools/ria?wf=organize

Sebenarnya masih ada beberapa layanan pengolah citra online, tapi kebanyakan diantaranya memiliki fitur yang hampir sama yaitu sebatas mengolah citra yang sederhana seperti resize, cropping, level dan rotate atau hanya for fun saja. Selamat mencoba!
