As we know that the significance of people shooting Vlog lies in “recording and sharing of life”, so today ’s mobile phone shooting function is so powerful. In addition to the mobile phone, the Vlog camera must be better than the mobile phone shooting function and satisfy People’s just needs, then where do people’s just needs exist? In addition to the clearer photos and videos, I explained my ideals from five aspects: “appearance”, “easy operation method”, “unlimited battery power”, “smell angiography”, and “multiple storage methods”. Camera:

1, smaller and more convenient appearance
In order to carry it conveniently, the camera needs to exhibit small and light features, and even become an ultra-compact camera. The appearance may be a pair of glasses or a built-in watch, which can be easily placed in a pocket or wallet, but its functions are becoming more and more powerful. That requires a high degree of integration, and the camera’s controls and buttons are gradually eliminated, and the touch screen can even be operated through a password.

2, simple operation
The camera I want to carry no longer needs the shutter button. In contrast, the “Appearance” user above can tell the camera to record photos by blinking or using voice commands. In the blink of an eye, the camera may be built into a person’s glasses or other everyday items. With the camera built into a pair of glasses, you can shoot at the first angle of view, making it easier to shoot the angle you want, recording beautiful moments anytime, anywhere. <

3, unlimited battery power
We always complain that the camera has no power at critical moments and cannot record beautiful moments at any time, so the camera battery I want to carry is unlimited, which contains some kind of solar battery that allows the battery to use only solar power or allows it to use solar energy. The battery charges the battery. Combined with the previous body size is smaller, so the camera’s battery is also very small.

4, olfactory imaging
The video from the camera I want to carry is delicious. Photography is just a visual medium, and in order to increase the sense of freshness and real-time, the video produced by the camera has its own unique taste, which is a brand-new experience for both the photographer and the viewer. For example, the user can order the camera to record the smell of the scene and embed it with the captured visual image. The ability to add a scent to a photo needs to be optional, but it would be nice to add a scent to a food or flower photo, but it might not be ideal to add a scent to a monkey house photo in a zoo.

5. Diversified storage methods
The storage method of the camera is more flexible and convenient. The camera can transfer photos instantly through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and store it in its own memory, which is more suitable for various application scenarios. For example, (1) when we want to transfer the photos we just took to the mobile phone, we can pair them through the mobile phone’s Bluetooth, that is, take and transfer without taking up the camera ’s solid-state memory; (2) when we want to just transfer the camera The photos taken are transmitted to the cloud. I wonder if you can connect to Wi-Fi through the camera, that is, you can shoot and transfer without taking up the camera’s solid-state memory. (3) When there are no Bluetooth devices such as mobile phones around us, and no Wi-Fi We can choose to store the captured photos directly into the camera’s internal memory and export them at our convenience.

Finally, I want to say that although the shooting functions of mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful, and the functions of cameras are gradually being marginalized, the technology will advance, the times will change, and even the purpose of photography will change. Everything is developing and changing, who knows What kind of role will the camera play in people’s lives in the future.

In the past two years, I have been very obsessed with short videos and vlogs, so I have actively participated in this discussion ~ In addition to the more standard and predictable software and hardware development trajectories, such as: image beautification, flip screen, screen Automatically follow the target, compact and lightweight, more and more clear image quality, more and more mature anti-shake focusing technology, smoother image processing, longer battery life, and strong storage capacity. In addition to the others I have imagined during the shooting process. Scene:

1. Must the operator be human? Imagine if the content producers of vlog were my meatballs and flowers, your boring group of humans might be taken away by the coquettish world under the lens of the masters! Haha kidding, but surely if there is moreInteresting photographers participate, they may take you to places that humans cannot easily reach themselves, may ingest travel routes other than human logic, the environment, and more unexpected friends in the relationship. . Such an ideal camera may require the body to be able to adapt to various surface carriers: head-mounted, shoulder-mounted, or even fixed to animals, any object that can move with the scene, and not easy to fall off or shift, and may also require The camera has a positioning function that can track the position of the machine at any time. According to the different requirements of the carrier and the special requirements of the target environment, the camera needs various environmental adaptability. I wo n’t say much here.

2. A good vlog must be interesting, content-oriented, and strong. Although the camera body must be smaller and lighter, it cannot weaken its entertainment properties, such as existing wide-angle shooting (not to mention the technical level It can be included in a larger field of view. The wide-angle profile for purely sensory angles gives viewers a particularly cool and interesting visual style.) So all the techniques that can shoot special lens effects are good. Research direction 3. In addition, a large number of video clips are generated during Vlog shooting. For photographers, they do not want to miss a variety of good content (some target scenes cannot wait for the exact time to occur, so you need to wait), so it is inevitable to shoot More potentially useless content. In this case, it is hoped that the camera itself can intelligently process low-quality, duplicate or monotonous content (such as the same picture for a long time), and store it in the background for later inspection so as not to lose important pictures, and also minimize the post-video production project.

4. The camera can intelligently generate some important parameters when shooting, such as the time and place of each frame, the protagonist (the face / thing feature data can be stored before shooting) and other tags, which is convenient for later When processing, the author can search the video content purposefully and quickly locate the clips that he wants to process. 5. Others have basically been explained. Finally, I want to say that the best state for shooting Vlog should be very casual, as if it were We usually take pictures. The photography tools just provide more convenience and improve the quality of the video, but they are not the key to shooting Vlog. The key to video shooting is to take out the camera and dare to start recording your own life, even if it There is not much exciting (this is the sympathy for the vlog description I saw before). Is there such an ideal camera and it will not be reduced to ashes! Continue to inspire you to record and share, let us look forward to it!

As a vlogger just getting started, I want to talk about what a Vlog camera should look like from the perspective of a user.
Admittedly, picture quality, weight, and appearance must be the most-watched sections, which is indeed related to
