Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement. Samsung also announced that five kinds of lenses will be launched soon. These lenses have been designed to enable real freedom in the creative process and include: fish eye lens (fish eye 10-17mm F3.5-F4.5 ED), an ultra wide zoom lens (12-24mm F4 ED AL), a wide zoom lens (16-45mm F4 ED AL), a fixed focus lens (35mm F2 AL) and a macro lens (Macro 100mm F2.8).

One handy feature unique to Pentax-designed DSLRs is the “Hyper-program” mode. With the camera set to program exposure, turning the shutter speed or aperture setting command dial overrides the programmed setting, effectively putting the camera into aperture or shutter priority mode, very useful for changing exposure settings on the fly.To show the difference in detail and colour depth between the camera’s native high-compression JPEG and the DNG RAW format, take a look at this colourful image. It was shot in JPEG mode. Your Sharp mobile phone has been designed, manufactured and tested so as not to exceed the limits for exposure to electromagnetic fields recommended by the Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines developed by independent scientific organisations. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of the phone user and others and to take into account variations in age and health, individual sensitivities and environmental conditions. European standards provide for the amount of radio frequency electromagnetic energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone to be measured by reference to the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for the general public is currently 2 watts per kilogram averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. Your Sharp mobile phone SAR value is 0.56 watts per kilogram. This has been tested to ensure that this limit is not exceeded even when the phone is operating at its highest certified power. In use however your Sharp mobile phone may operate at less than full power because it is designed to use only sufficient power to communicate with the network.

The GX-10 and lenses are expected to be available from November, with the price being announced at that time. I just had to get a photo of my new car in there somehow, didn’t I? Here it is ably demonstrating the excellent dynamic range available from the RAW mode. The exposure was adjusted in Adobe Camera RAW to bring up a lot of highlight and shadow detail that was simply not visible in JPEG mode. In JPEG mode the 22-bit data path doesn’t give much advantage, but in RAW mode it provides greater colour depth and more exposure latitude. With an open soundstage and respectable instrument separation, the GX-BT60 is able to effectively reproduce complicated compositions, with even the most frantic of ska anthems unfolding as carefully articulated marches of drums and brass. Trebles are clean and crisp, lending impact to trumpet solos and piano riffs, while the mids are detailed enough to ensure vocals can be heard clearly. Thanks to its rugged build and the ocean-blue colour, this speaker got me thinking about the beach a lot, so it seemed appropriate to pull up an “Island vibes” playlist to put it through its paces. The breezy mix of reggae, ska and R&B did a good job at showcasing the sonic capabilities of the GX-BT60, and by the time the last guitar strum faded out, I was suitably impressed.The GX-10 has been designed to let the photographer customize and take control of their camera with the My Set Dial option allowing you to personalise your dial settings by choosing your most frequently used functions for ultimate ease of use.
