How do I put a password for phone memory card? If I lost my memory card nobody can open it.
If you are using android nougat or above than you can simply go to storage settings and use your memory card as a internal storage. Since by using memory card as internal storage your memory card will not work on other devices until you change the settings from your phone.But the disadvantage of this is whenever if you wanted to use your memory card on the other devices you have to change card internal storage settings to portable storage.There is also a settings of encryption of memory card in your settings, you can turn it on in settings>security.And if you want to put a password on your sd card, then it can be done from the computer.Insert your sd card in the computer, go to your card properties and turn on bit locker. Follow the procedure, and then you option to put password or not. After putting password, it will take some time according to your card storage to encrypt the memory card.
Are the Nikon D5100 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50 waterproof? If not, then how can they be used in the best way for solo traveling and underwater?
Cameras are not water proof, they're either weather sealed or water resistant 5–10m. If underwater usage is a regular affair buy an underwater housing kit for your D5100 or buy a GoPro (any action camera). If not, buy photos the trousim company provides (eg: scuba diving instructors/conductors take pictures while you are enjoying) they are expensive but it's better than blowing money on a camera/gear that you won't use afterwards.Keep D5100 as your primary due to it's better and bigger sensor, lenses and battery. Use cybershot as a backup and for hiking and other demanding travels like it.Thanks for the A2A.
SD card keeps becoming locked, solutions?
My SD card keeps becoming locked when I put in a camera, any camera! I know the lever on the side, but that's whats getting locked. As I put it in the camera, I guess the edges push the lever enough to lock it. Makes it hard to UNlock it, as it locks while putting it in the camera. Any solutions to this? I don't want to buy a new one, but c'est la vie.
What is the best camera to shoot short films?
DSLRs and mirrorless camerasCost: from around $500/£500Interchangeable lens cameras like the Panasonic G7 and the Canon 80D are mainlydesigned for serious still photography. But they are the most affordable way to get into creative low-budget filmmaking. They have big sensors and lenses, which makes it easy to shoot ‘cinematic’ shallow focus shots. But you may need accessories to get the best out of them, they’re slower to use than dedicated video cameras, and audio recording can be tricky. However, recent mirrorless cameras like the Panasonic GH5 and the G85/G80 have image stabilisation and electronic viewfinders which make video shooting easier.Prosumer camcordersCost: from around $1600/£1600Large-body camcorders such as the Canon XA30 have built-in zoom lenses and headphone sockets. They’re faster and easier to use than DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, so they’re good for news and events. But they have fairly small sensors. That means they aren’t as good in low light, and you can’t get as creative with shallow focus.
What is the best DSLR camera for a beginner to buy (in India) and why?
It’ll depend on your budget. If you’re looking for something under 30k, go for Nikon D5200. I’d avoid nikon’s D3300 because I found the colour reproduction of the camera is nowhere near to D5200’s. If you’re willing to spend a few bucks more, you have more options.You can buy D5300, which is an excellent camera to start with.Or you can buy D5200 with kit lens, plus an additional 35mm 1.8G or a 50mm f1.8G lens with it. I’d have done this. Trust me you’ll not regret buying that prime lens. You’ll thank me later.If you’re willing to spend around 50k, then why stick to a entry level camera? We all know that most of the entry level cameras are more or less same. (Understand that only the features you’ll use should be deciding factor, not all the features company is providing.) I think Nikon D7000 is a decent semi professional camera (Though it is an older release, and many features are backdated, but still it does a pretty good job and it should be the choice if you’re serious about photography)Note: I haven’t mentioned any canon models, because i feel when it comes to entry level cameras, nikon offer better things than canon within the same budget. Story is a bit different and complicated when it comes to high end full frame bodies though.Hope this helps. Goodluck! :)
Is there any way to lock SD card so that no-one can access it's data even after inserting it in other device?
Yes,by encrypting your sd card. There is an option called Encrypt External Storage in every smartphone. Basically,if you encrypt your SD card,when someone will insert into another phone,it will ask for a password for access to the SD card. Check this link out-http://visihow.com/Encrypt_Files...
Any recommendations on a good digital camera to buy?
I recommend buying a used or refurbished DSLR made within the last 8 years or so. Or even 12 years – what you’re doing is learning, not producing. Think of it like buying a beater car when you’re learning to drive. You just need the basic functions to learn what they do. Advanced cameras have more than the basics and may even be a distraction. Use the money you save to buy a tripod and external flash.You want to understand the behavior of light, and the function of modes, focusing, aperture, exposure, and ISO. Beyond that you will want to learn bracketing, more selective focusing, exposure locking, mirror-lockup use, long exposures, and a whole lot more. But nearly any modern DSLR will have these function.Take a look at keh.com, Adorama, or BHPhotoVideo.com and look for used or refurbished DSLRs in your price range.One thing of note: once you have chosen a camera you will be stuck with that brand. If you pick Brand Y and start collecting Brand Y lenses, you can’t jump to Brand A or B without spending a lot of money on replacement lenses, and losing the money sunk into Brand Y. So pick a brand that delivers for the price-point of bodies and lenses you’re comfortable with. Not to mention that the user interface differs with each brand – jumping brands means relearning how to operate it. I won’t say which brand you should buy. That’s too subjective.Once you’ve learned enough about photography (realistically, more than 3 years) and are ready for a more expensive camera, determine what features you need (versus what marketing tells you what to desire) in a replacement body. For instance if you do a lot of sports photography you need burst shooting and more autofocus points. If you do landscape photography you do not need those. If you do studiowork you might want remote flash control (which can be bought as a separate and costly accessory – you might want to buy it built-in for the start).
