has introduced Adapter Mount Format (AMF), a filter system designed for mirrorless mount adapters. Unlike filters that are positioned over a lens, the AMF filters are small and rectangular with a design that drops into mount adapters, positioning the filter behind the lens. The AMF filter product line includes the company's PowerUV, PowerND, PowerGND, and PowerDusk filters. Aurora Aperture presents its drop-in filters as having multiple benefits over traditional lenses, which are mounted on the front of the lens. By positioning the lens in the mount adapter, a single set of filters can be used for each adapter rather than needing the same filter in different thread sizes for each lens. As well, the AMF filters are smaller and therefore easi.

Intro. The Sony a7R IV is the company's fourth-generation ultra-high-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera. It's built around a new 61MP back-side illuminated CMOS sensor. It's the first new sensor in an 'R' camera since 2015. The new chip has 567 on-sensor phase detection points, which cover 99.7% of the sensor's height and 74% of its width, meaning you get depth-aware focus across a huge range of the sensor. The camera uses the same front-end LSI and Bionz X processor as the a7R III. Sony says it knew there was a 61MP sensor coming from Sony Semiconductor, so was able to design these chips in anticipation of it. The higher resolution of the chip means you still get 26MP images, even if you use an APS-C crop. Naturally, you get fewer PDAF.

. The has already shown its , but without an ecosystem of accessories to further expand the video capabilities the system remains somewhat neutered. Thankfully, accessory manufacturers are hopping onboard, including with the new LockPort XT3 HDMI, an HDMI port saver for the Fujifilm X-T3 camera system.

Like other port adapters and connectors, the LockPort XT3 HDMI is designed to not only simplify the process of attaching a full-size HDMI cable to an X-T3, but also protect the main micro HDMI connection by making it an external connection that faces towards the rear of the camera thanks to the included micro to full-size HDMI adapter.

Lomography has unveiled LomoChrome Metropolis, a product the company claims is the first color film stock to be offered in 35mm, 120, 110, and 16mm options in more than five years.

Robert Wiblin, a researcher at , has published drawing attention to an aspect of sharing on Google Photos that many users may be unaware of. As demonstrated in the video above, Wiblin notes that Google Photos images and albums privately shared with a specific person can be viewed by anyone who has access to the link. The discovery highlights a surprising design oversight by Google. A Google Photos user who privately shares an image or album with another Google user may have their image viewed repeatedly by anyone if the recipient copies and shares the link for the image or album. Wiblin points out that the Google Photos interface doesn't indicate that by sharing the image or album privately with a specific person, the user is creating a lin.
