Panasonic Lumix LZ8 review - part 1

Panasonic Lumix LZ8 review.

It is a very compact camera that comes with high quality leica lens. It produce above average picture quality.
The camera's focus is sharp, and produces correct exposure in almost all condition. In iA mode, the camera software will guess the scene when you press the focus button, and setting it for optimal exposure and color. Another special feature in this camera is facial recognition. It can recognise faces' position and a bracket will show up in the camera's LCD.
For lower iso (up to 800), the quality is good for viewing on screen or 4R printing. However, for higher ISO, noise is obvious.

Pro:

• produce vivid colour and correct exposure for outdoor
  
• Full manual control for advance user.
• dedicated zoom button for ease of control.
• Sharp focus in all condition, especially macro
  
• 5X optical zoom.
• In
  

Cons

• Noise appear from ISO400 and above.
  
• Sometimes the picture is over-compressed, lack of detail when zooming in on screen.

Cadence skill code - Mouse click to activate/call a procedure

Sometimes you might want to create a function that can be called/activated by a mouse click in schematic/layout. For example, you want to create a labeling algorithm that can label signal a1, a2, a3, a4....by each mouse click in the layout. Here is how to do it (not a complete skill code in procedure abc) :


enterPoints(?prompts list("Please click")
?alwaysMap 't
?addPointProc "abc"
)


procedure(abc(windowId points)
prog(()
point = car(last(points))
point = geWindowToEditPoint(windowId point)
dbCreatelabel (***** point ****) ;use point as the xy
text_count=text_count+1

))

Take note that when procedure abc is called by enterPoints, 2 values are assigned automatically to it (windowID and clicking points). The value of "point" after geWindowToEditPoint is the real point we need to create text or polygon. Hope this will help.
