By using a scene mode, the photographer simplifies the process of matching the camera’s settings to the scene. Camera designers simplify the process of matching the scene to a keyword. Why Use Scene Modes? If you’re shooting outdoors in the winter, for example, use the snow-scene mode. The camera will then adjust the exposure to compensate for the bright white of the snow. You might select a sports scene mode to tell the camera to shoot with the fastest shutter speed possible to freeze the action without blurring the subject....

This how-to wizard is used to walk you through the wipe process to make it super simple to erase a hard drive. How Does Disk Wipe Work? Disk Wipe is completely portable, which means you don’t need to install it to use it. After running the program, every internal and external hard drive will be listed, including flash drives.

Fans of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe have been getting a steady stream of bonus tracks since the Booster Course DLC launched earlier this year, which continues with this upcoming third batch. And you won’t have to wait very long to get rubber on the road (or wood, or… light bridge?), either.

Egocentric perception is how people see the world around them, a first-person perspective, which is difficult for AI to comprehend since it currently must rely on learning from a third-person view.

What’s in there? Facebook says it will include general, diverse, topical, and local news from publishing partners that meet Facebook guidelines for integrity and factual information.

It is not unusual for companies the size of Google to cancel apps and features, especially as technology continues to advance.

3D TV and Home Theater: The Basics There’s a lot of confusion regarding the 3D home theater experience. What do you need to watch it? What’s available to watch?
