Many websites are able to attain that one superpower: invisibility. Although this is a good thing for superheroes, a website can hardly benefit from it. You definitely do not want to invest a significant amount of time in the production of a website and to have no traffic on it.
The best option for preventing such a turn of events is SEO. In order to increase the probability of people finding your website, you should not make it difficult for search engines to find and categorize your content accurately.
Many newbies consider SEO to be too complicated and that they need years of experience to be able to practice it. Actually, the basics of SEO are about presenting your content in an optimal way, so that search engines and users have no problem understanding what it is about.
So, now we will move on to some of the basic steps you can take to create a good SEO fundation for your website – how to make it more visible, and surely, ameliorate your content for search engines.
Opt for Responsive WordPress Theme
The best way to create a good SEO foundation for your site is to go with a responsive theme. You definitely need your WordPress site to use a clean and optimized code, as well as a clever design plan.
Another reason why you should choose a responsive theme is the fact that non-responsive sites lose all mobile traffic, which nowadays accounts for about 60% of all internet traffic. The SEO experts from Online Marketing Gurusclaim that using a non-responsive website in 2016 is just bad business, being that google will always prioritize a responsive website in mobile search. Also, by choosing a responsive theme you eliminate the hassle of updating and maintaining multiple sites. Furthermore, you will most likely be able to support new devices and screens in the future.
Choose a Great Name and Domain
Although the name of a domain is not a ranking factor, it is important in regard to SEO and social media marketing (SMM). The choice if keywords is crucial when it comes to picking a name for your domain. Names that contain frequently searched keywords are the best choice, as they are bound to drive traffic from powerful search engines.
So, the keyword potential is not the only thing you should consider when choosing a suitable domain name. Additionally, think about the click-through rates on ads and SERP listings and opt for a premium keyword. This is because the ads that include a generic domain name and a keyword that is an exact match to the product work better than other common or uncommon domain names. Also, prime domain names are usually shorter, because that makes them easier to remember.
When it comes to choosing the actual domain, .com is most likely to be the safest? first? choice, as 75% of all websites use it, but it is not so easy to get. Consequently, a large quantity of new generic top-level domains was laucnhed. Nowadays, you are provided with an option to chose a domain that uses an extension as a part of the word or phrase. This usually makes the URL shorter and this is called domain hacking.
With this in mind, country TLDs like .me, .co, .be and so on are a perfect pick if you want your domain to convey a certain message.
However, keywords are not enough, and because of the commercial interest, it is wise to pick a brandable name. Google loves brands and your customers will find and remember your business more easily.
Google Search Console
Google Search Console is a set of tools that website owners, webmasters, web marketers and SEO professionals can use to observe the performance of their website in the Google search index.
A website owner should use Google Search Console to make sure that Google finds his business and shows it for the right searches. This console also points out if there are any errors on a website, so the owner can fix those mistakes and that his pages show up in search results.
The owner can use this console every time he creates a new page to see which terms lead people to his Google search result pages and then find the most successful pages on his website, focus on th and increase traffic on his website.
WWW vs NON-WWW
Once you register your site in Google search console you will be given a choice of preffered domain, which will be displayed in the results: www.site.com or site.com. The choice itself will have no effect on your actual SEO but it will rather ensure that google displays only one version of the site and that it doesn’t split the juice.
After you’ve chosen the preferred version you’ll need to setup a 301 redirect from one version to the other. This can be done in cPanel (if you are using it) or it can be done with Yoast SEO plugin. Whichever method you decide to go with, this part is crucial as it will ensure that all the links pointing to your site transfer their value to a single version, rather than dispersing it to two different ones.
WWW or NON-WWW is just a matter of personal preference and when you choose one, make sure that you stick to it and don’t change it.

When it comes to data recovery, we’ve all been through a time in our lives when we accidentally deleted something from our computers, forgot about it and then all of a sudden we needed it once more, well if this has happened to you recently then you’ve got nothing to worry about because if you haven’t added much data to the hard drive after the initial deletion, chances are high that your files can be recovered with minimal losses.
This is an important part though, because files can only be recovered if the physical space they’re holding on hasn’t yet been overwritten, so now that we’ve got that covered, let’s talk about Power Data Recovery by the folks over at MiniTool.
Power Data Recovery
It’s a tool developed to recover data from various sources, whether it be your fully functioning hard drive, a deleted, damaged or lost partition or just a CD/DVD (although under certain conditions), simply load up the tool and it’ll give you a list of its various features and one to choose from.
Damaged Partition Recovery
Selecting the “Damaged Partition Recovery” option will bring you to a list of your current partitions, it doesn’t matter how your partition was damaged, whether it simply became corrupt due to some error while you were working on the Microsoft Disk Management tool or it just stopped working without cause, Power Data Recovery lets you access it check out the directories as if the partition was working perfectly fine.
Simply select the partition which holds the data you wish to recover and let Power Data Recovery do its magic.
You’ll be taken to a window similar to the one above, you can check which files are still recoverable and which aren’t, simply select the recoverable files you’d like to save and click the Save button at the bottom right.
Digital Media Recovery
When it comes to data recovery, people often don’t care about the various software that was lost, except what actually matters is your media, your personal pictures, your family videos, maybe your office documents, stuff like that.
This function also works similar to the straight up data recovery, but it lets you identify media files and recover them. If you’re not looking to recover specific file types then there’s no point in browsing by file type, you can still browse the directory and look for files in specific folders if you wish to do so.
CD or DVD Recovery
This may come in as a surprise to most people but it really shouldn’t be, similar to any other storage media, a disk such a CD or DVD is simply incapable of “deleting” information, information can only be overwritten, never deleted.
You don’t have to do anything special, simply go through it as if it’s just another hard drive.
Lost Partition Recovery
When it comes to hard drives though, they seem to have a habit of malfunctioning occasionally, whether it’s caused by some malware or just your own actions, what will probably end up happening is that you’ll lose some data in the process.
A lost partition is an issue which only occurs under certain circumstances, if Windows is no longer able to detect a partition because of some issues in the partition table, or perhaps the partition itself is partially corrupted, well, third party software such as Power Data Recovery can easily go through your entire hard drive and look for lost partitions.
How to use Power Data Tools
As for how to use this splendid piece of software, you don’t need to look for guides across the internet, Power Data Tools is highly user friendly and you’re able to go through the entire process in a couple of steps
Whether you’re undeleting files which you threw in the bin and emptied it by mistake, or recovering an entire partition, you’ll be getting an easily used menu to select your destination for the recovered files, obviously, don’t save files in the same hard drive where you’re recovering them from, you might overwrite other lost files in the process of doing so.
On the other hand, you’ll also be getting an image preview of any media files which you may be recovering, giving you full information about what you’re recovering before you click the final button, happy recovering!
The mysql functions in PHP are not used anymore ,it is going replaced by the newer versions of PHP like PHP 5.5 + versions which using mysqli or PDO extensions rather then using mysql queries.Since it is deprecated, using it makes your code less future proof.
Main Reasons to Avoid mysql functions in php
Is not under active development
Is officially deprecated as of PHP 5.5.
Has been removed entirely as of PHP 7.0
Lacks an OO interface which Object Oriented Interface
Doesn’t support:
Non-blocking, asynchronous queries
Prepared statements or parameterized queries
Stored procedures
No support for multiple statements.
Transactions
The “new” password authentication method (on by default in MySQL 5.6; required in 5.7)
All of the functionality in MySQL 5.1
No prevention for SQL Injection.
Currently,PHP offers three different APIs to connect to MySQL. There are the mysql, mysqli, and PDO extensions.
What is PDO ?
PDO refers to PHP Data Objects which is a database access layer providing a uniform method of access to multiple databases.
Why mysql functions are need to Deprecated?
Moving away from ext/mysql is not only about security, but also about having access to all the features of the MySQL database.It is less secure then newer versions of mysql extensions.As well as Slow as compare to the advance techniques of connecting databases in php.It will soon going to end the support of new servers as well as localhost software.Therefore,all the developers are already started shifting towords the new vewrsions of mysql extensions which are far more secure,fast and easy.
What should you move to New Versions ?
There is absolutely no reason to use ext/mysql you can choose one of the other, more modern, extensions instead and reap the rewards of the benefits they offer.Consider whether you really need to upgrade to PHP v5.5 at this time.Because lots of software already removed the support of mysql_* functions.Some localhost new softwares such as new Wamp already remove the support of php 5.4 and below versions. To help a developer to write more future proof code .

LeEco has finally announced their partnership with Eros and now SuperPhone users can enjoy more than 2,000 movie titles through the ‘Levidi‘ app as long as they have a LeEco Membership. LeEco is the first company to offer a wealth of content at such a reasonable price. A few months ago, Netflix launched its services in India but it only has content for international audiences and isn’t for everyone.
LIVE:
LeEco has also announced a partnership with Yupp TV through which SuperPhone users can enjoy more than 100 live TV channels via the ‘LIVE’ app. Even better, you can stream up to 9 TV channels simultaneously on this app! Of course, the quality of this experience also depends on your internet connection.
Levidi and LIVE are included in the same LeEco Membership package at no extra cost. This is a sweet deal but wait, LeEco decided to sweeten it further!
Le Music:
LeEco also announced a partnership with Hungama Music, India’s largest on-demand music destination.

This means no more hunting for MP3 downloads from illegal sources – you can easily stream without paying any extra money, as everything is being included in the LeEco Membership.

The best thing about the LeEco Membership, for me, is the mind-boggling 5TB (TeraByte) cloud storage that LeEco is giving away! Yes, it is 5TB – you can read it twice. It will take regular person years to upload that much data on the cloud. I just love this one! Bye bye Google Drive!
Now, we come to the LeEco Membership pricing – it is Rs. 490 per month or Rs. 4,900 per year! That’s a killer price for all the services bundled in but all Le 1s Eco buyers get 1 year of LeEco Membership for free!

Ramping up sales is going to take a lot of effort and your business might need a push in the right direction to do so. Moreover, you will have to find out what your customers desire and how you can make it happen. Good marketing strategies will be key if you want to step up your game and give your business a run for the money. On the other hand, it will be a grand opportunity to find out how you can improve your weaknesses and to transform your business into a giant that will be brimming with customers.
Use Referrals to Increase Brand Awareness
You cannot hope people to find your business easily in a sea of information, especially if they have no idea that they are looking for it. Using a number of referral ideas to steer customers in the right direction will help your business gain more attention and help your brand become more popular. Moreover, try to set up a referral program among your existing customers, as it can help create more leads, and you can reward your most loyal users with discounts or even better offers. Remember that it will take time to convert your leads, even with a good referral system in place.
What You Post Online Will Be of Crucial Importance
Unless your business can handle a bit of bad posting, and there is none that can do so, try to avoid giving your customers horrible content. Make sure that everything you put online is checked and is relevant to your business and to your products. After all, finding new leads is one thing, but lead nurturing is what will help you gain more customers, and ultimately, more sales. Bear in mind that exceptional content will be more than important to attract customers and to give them a reason to conduct business with you. Moreover, make sure that you follow ongoing trends, which will help you create good content.
What Is Your Next Marketing Step?
Unless you have an answer to what your next marketing idea should be and how it can help your business, you are in dire need of changes. According to a Social Media Agency from Sydney, effective marketing strategies should not be thought up on a whim and you should take various aspects into account. After all, you need to find a channel to be able to communicate with your customers and beyond, and show them why your business is better than the rest. Without a strategy in place, your promotional ideas will not be as effective as intended, and your business might lose money and respect over time.
To help your business get more sales, you will have to take a step back to be able to view your business as a whole. Only then can you really see what your weaknesses are and how you can work on your strengths. Moreover, with the help of a viable marketing strategy in place, it will be possible to devise a promotional plan which will guarantee more customers and an amp in sales. Do not neglect the needs of customers and be sure to listen to their feedback in order to find out how you can make your business even better, and ensure an increase in profits for a better future.

ASUS has been well known in the smartphone market with there many high end devices which are going really good in the market. The latest offering from the company on these lines is the Zenfone Go 4.5 2nd generation.
Design and Build
With a metallic hairline finish, the phone, at the first glance itself resembles a premium product. The phone also comes with an arc design, managing to be only 3.6 mm at its thinnest edge. This feature, along with the rear key positioning on the phone allows the user to have one hand control, thus, it makes it really easy for multitasking. The finish on the phone can be attributed to the unique, molding techniques which in turn, has ensured that the phone does not weigh on the heavy side. All of this, has resulted in a phone, which is easy for the user to hold and experience. The company has further compressed the powerful processor, the dual sim card, and the thin design in such a way, that the form factor of the phone retains its usability quotient. One important aspect of their design is the positioning of the buttons. This has ensured that both, right-handed and left-handed people can use it with equal ease. The phone is also available in a variety of colors to suit your mood and personality.
Camera
Coming to the camera specifications on the phone, it comes with a rear camera of 5MP and a front camera of 0.3MP. While the 5MP camera might not look like a big deal to us tech experts used to camera specifications of 13 MP and higher, but for a price tag of just Rs. 5,299 – this camera manages to be very appealing. However, ASUS is also offering users an additional choice, in this category, as there is a second variant of the ZenFone Go 4.5 2nd generation that comes with a rear camera of 8MP and a front camera of 2MP priced at Rs 5,699. This variant would definitely satisfy the clicking enthusiast in you. Apart from this, it’s really the features that come built into the camera that excites the reviewer in me. Along with the ‘PixelMaster’ technology unique to ASUS, also inbuilt into the phone are a total of 16 different modes- be it for clicking pictures during the day or night. The zero shutter lag also ensures perfect photos in a snap.
Three of the modes that stood out for me were as below-
Backlight HDR Mode
This mode reduces the shadow effect and therefore allows the images to have a better brightness and contrast factor by expanding the dynamic range of the shot. The detailing results in flawless images captured- all the time.
Low Light Mode
This feature increases the light sensitivity of the image by up to 400%, while reducing the noise and boosting the colour contrast every time. A feature that allows the users to produce clear and bright images in low light as well – this camera is ideal for users who do not wish to worry about the light condition when capturing something they like.
Beautification Mode
On your endless selfie clicking rampages, when out with friends, this phone is your perfect companion, as the beautification mode subtly balances the facial features, softens the tones and removes blemishes to make you and your friends look even better.
Just when you think that was enough for all your clicking needs, the phone also has built-in MiniMovie application. This application allows users to combine different photos into short movies which can be further made interesting by adding musical notes and text of your choice. Your creations can then be quickly shared through social media, email, cloud services, and YouTube.
Storage
Despite being in the budget category, the phone still comes with adequate storage capacity – a 1GB RAM, which ensures that you never have to worry about seeing the dreaded – ‘phone capacity full’ message pop up on your phone. The Zenfone Go 4.5 2nd generation additionally offers 100 GB of accompanying Google Drive storage – that too, free for 2 years! You would have to redeem the offer on the Google Drive app by April 1st, 2018.
The ASUS ZenUI
Personally, my favorite aspect on ASUS’ Zenfone range is the ZenUI; it is ASUS’ personalized gift to its users. With a new visual design and features, it allows for classic customization on your phone. The ZenUI is simple, beautiful and brilliant all at the same time. It allows you to have a lock screen accompanied by a customizable font and icon. It has redesigned icons, optional folders, weather and time widgets different, and a variety of ASUS color themes for your use. Further, within the ZenUI, the idea that excites me the most is the ‘ZenMotion’- which allows users to access everything on their phone with just an easy swipe to launch a variety of applications, see notifications of incoming messages, missed calls, and a lot more. It also has a new Boost feature- which acts like your phone’s personal clean up assistant- just by tapping the icon, Boost will clean up background applications to free your phone’s memory and increase its speed.
ZenUI Launcher
In particular, for this, one has to simply swipe up on the home screen to access easy customization tools. You can then go ahead and choose your wallpaper, pick your icons and arrange your apps in a moment.
Performance
The phone matches your needs of smart and quick performance at every step with its Qualcomm quad core [email protected], and dual sim-dual standby feature. Additionally, the Sonic-Master Technology delivers crystal clear sound to your ears, satisfying the music-lover in you. The phone is also probably more obsessive than you, about conserving power especially when searching for a signal, thus significantly increasing its standby time. It has an advanced antenna design that ensures fantastic performance, even in areas with poor signal. Be it for your social media needs, or your routine daily tasks, the phone has adequate capability built into it, to offer a power-packed performance.
To conclude- this phone is perfect for those users that look for class, appeal and performance, without burning a hole in their pocket. The variant with the 0.3MP/5MP (front + rear) camera being priced at just Rs. 5,299, and the 2MP/8MP (front + rear) camera at INR 5,699; it can literally be the ‘Go-To’ phones for the budget smartphone section and is bound to make heads turn when you take it out in public. With multiple features on it, that still do not compromise on build, aesthetic or specifications quality, the Zenfone Go 4.5 2nd generation does all that and more, acting like the ultimate ‘Zen’ companion to your fast paced life.
Noise Cancellation
We live in a world that is noisy all the time, and to reflect on that real time experience, ASUS has come up with the NoiseTalk Zero which is an innovative combination of linear-echo-cancellation (LEC) and noise-suppression (NS) that works towards wiping out audio rebound and in reducing background noise to a minimum. In fact, the Zenfone’s LEC is 1.2X (20%) better at blocking echoes and is 2.3X (130%) more effective at noise suppression in multiple environments comparatively. As a result, users get the chance to experience crystal-clear quality during their calls.

In a never-before-seen video released today by LG Electronics, acclaimed Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola hails LG OLED TV as the next frontier in cinematic home entertainment.
Creating perfect blacks for incredible lifelike color, which has been touted by industry pundits as the “best picture quality ever,” LG OLED TV is paving the way for filmmakers to break boundaries and create content in ways never before imaginable. Coppola’s praise for OLED TV is the latest in similar endorsements from fellow Academy Award® winning directors, who also have hailed LG OLED TV’s superior picture quality as a triumph in TV technology today.
“When I first watched Apocalypse Now on LG OLED, I was filled with emotion. Not only because it was so lifelike that I felt like I was back in the director’s chair nearly 40 years ago, but because I was finally able to see the film how I always intended it to look,” remarked Coppola. “Every scene was so vivid and stunning. Every detail was so perfectly clear and immersive. Many of these details which were originally lost when translated onto screen, were now brought back to all their glory.”
LG OLED TVs, which launched for the first time in 2014, have ushered in a brand-new category of television in the U.S. that both experts and consumers alike consider the best picture quality on the market today. Using an emissive substance, each pixel of an OLED display can turn on or completely off, creating perfect blacks and amazing contrast for images that are crisper and more lifelike. With OLED technology, consumers can enjoy awe-inspiring picture with perfect blacks and incredible color, even from wide viewing angles unlike any LCD/LED TV can deliver. Blacks rendered by LG’s OLED TV are up to 200 times deeper than those of an LCD panel, creating an infinite contrast ratio and bringing colors to life like never before possible.
Coppola explained that when filming Apocalypse Now, he was “in the jungle for almost a year and a half. Even looking at the picture now brings back the terrifying moments we had in trying to get the superb picture and photography, all on film, with a host of difficulties.
LG’s 2016 OLED TVs, representing the third generation of this new display technology, are available in the United States starting this month. The entire 2016 LG OLED TV lineup assures the ultimate viewing experience with high dynamic range (HDR).
In fact, LG’s 2016 OLED TV lineup is among the first to deliver a complete HDR experience because it supports all industry-standard HDR formats established by the world’s leading broadcasters, film studios and consumer electronics manufacturers, including HDR10 and DolbyVision™ HDR technology. It has also been certified as “Ultra HD Premium” by the UHD Alliance – a certification reserved for products that comply with the organization’s performance standards for picture resolution, high dynamic range (HDR), peak luminance, black levels and wide color gamut, among other important metrics.
LG OLED TV’s unique ability to achieve perfect blacks to reveal even greater picture detail, combined with HDR, delivers to consumers images more like we see them in real life – allowing any details that were originally lost when translated onto the screen, brought back to life – making OLED TVs the ideal medium for HDR content.
To further create an unparalleled at-home viewing experience in 2016, LG and Technicolor are collaborating on delivering new content experiences to the home that meet the new UHD Alliance content and display specifications and push the boundaries of video imaging. LG OLED TVs will offer dynamic content choices via its webOS Smart TV platform with streaming partners including Netflix, Amazon, VUDU and more.
In 2016, LG is making OLED TV accessible to more consumers than ever before, with eight new models in flat and curved configurations and various sizes – led by its flagship 77- and 65-inch class G6 models and 65- and 55-inch class E6 models – all combining the superior performance of OLED’s revolutionary display technology with 4K Ultra HD resolution and HDR capability. LG will continue to offer 2015 models at competitive price points, which include the EG9100 model, priced at under $2,000.
Huawei, is the world’s 3rd largest smartphone manufacturer and its sub brand Honor today welcomed government’s decision to make panic button mandatory for all mobiles phones from January 1, 2017. The move aims to help improve security of women and assist law enforcement agencies. In August last year, when the government and Ministry of Women and Child Development (MoWCD) urged the smartphone manufacturers to check feasibility of embedding such feature in the smartphone, Honor, the leading e-brand of Huawei became the first to respond to the request. The R&D Center in Bengaluru innovated this functionality and today, Honor smartphones sold in the Indian market already come embedded with a SOS feature.
This feature acts as an emergency alarm and sends SMS to three pre-set numbers. The users would also have an option to choose the action which is convenient to them and can allow them to activate alarm discreetly. Alongside, the user can send their location information to the pre-set numbers making it easy for users to reach out for help in the hour of need.
The feature would be embedded in the upcoming batches of all Huawei and Honor smartphones as directed by the government, and all previously sold phones of these models will be able to avail the feature by updating the software. The alarm can be raised by simple actions that users could choose and preset which could include; shake the phone to activate alarm, long hold a defined key. Once the alarm is raised, it will promptly share location information along with a preset message and call informing them during crisis situation.
LG India, the leader in consumer durable’s, showcased its futuristic technology at LG India Tech Show 2016. This time they are unveiling LG’s ‘Signature Series’ Cutting-Edge Premium Lineup consisting of state-of-the art OLED 4K TV with Dolby Vision, 12 kg Front Load Washing Machine, Knock-on Door-in-Door Refrigerator, Air Purifier. Also, the newly launched K series smart phones K7 and K10, under LG’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.
LG comes with its ‘Signature Series’ .

Certified as UHD Premium by the UHD Alliance, the series supports the industry-standard HDR formats established by the world’s leading broadcasters, film studios and consumer electronics manufacturers, including generic HDR and DolbyVision™ technology, making them among the firsts to be compatible with all formats.
Unlike LCD displays where the LED backlight can only locally dim sections of the screen, each pixel on an OLED panel can switch on and off independently. As a result, OLED TVs render crisp, vibrant colors and rich shadow details, even when bright objects are directly next to deep, dark areas — unlike LCD TVs which have a halo effect from light bleeding. New LG SIGNATURE OLED TV models feature LG’s new webOS 3.0 smart TV platform, featuring advanced new features that make finding and switching between LG’s expanded content options — including broadcast TV, streaming services and external devices – simple and fast.
Air Purifier: The only Air Purifier that cleans air before your very eyes: LG believes that nothing is more important than clean air. The exquisitely designed LG Signature Air Purifier allows the air cleaning process to be a visual experience with its innovative transparent panel. Equipped with an advanced Aqua-Cyclone feature, this air purifier harnesses the power of water to filter out harmful chemicals and contaminants while quickly bringing the room to comfortable humidity levels. The unit is equipped with LG’s Semi-Permanent Filter System, allowing consumers to remove, wash and reuse the filters for up to 10 years, saving both time and money.
While fine dust particles are typically invisible to the naked eye, customers can see the air quality of their indoor environment by simply glancing at LG’s Smart PM1.0 Indicator. Positioned around the control display, the indicator uses four different colors of light to signify the concentration of super-fine dust particles.

When we click a photograph, the exposure determines how light or dark the image will appear. It’s calculated by the three essential settings aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Basically, the key to better low-light imaging or higher-contrast fine-quality images is these three features, which are also known as exposure triangles. So, let’s take a look at what they are.
Shutter Speed
A shutter speed basically determines when the camera sensor will be open for coming light. there’s an inverse relationship between aperture and shutter speed. A fast shutter speed does not let in as much light as a slow shutter speed. If you’re using a tight aperture to achieve high depth of field, you will need to use a slower shutter speed (for any given light conditions) than you would while using a wide aperture. Shutter speed is also sometimes called exposure time. So, a fast shutter speed means a short exposure time, while a slow shutter speed means a long exposure time.
Shutter Speed
Typical Examples
1 – 30+ seconds
Specialty night and low-light photos on a tripod
2 – 1/2 second
To add a silky look to flowing water Landscape photos on a tripod for enhanced depth of field
1/2 to 1/30 second
To add motion blur to the background of a moving subject Carefully taken hand-held photos with stabilization
1/50 – 1/100 second
Typical hand-held photos without substantial zoom
1/250 – 1/500 second
To freeze everyday sports/action subject movement Hand-held photos with substantial zoom (telephoto lens)
1/1000 – 1/4000 second
To freeze extremely fast, up-close subject motion
Shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second, with standard shutter speeds ranging from 1/1000 of a second to one full second.
Effect on Image
Taking a picture of a moving object with a slow shutter speed can create a blurred image of the object (and the suggestion of motion). Using a faster shutter speed makes the object appear more crisply, with better definition and less blurring.
Can you control your Smartphone’s shutter Speed?
Well, it all depends on your device. There are devices like the LG G4 that offer manual control of shutter speed and many other feature in the stock camera app. If your device doesn’t have any such Pro or Manual mode. Google also integrated a new Camera2 API. This API needs to be properly implemented in your device. Which helps the third party app to manually control your camera. So, try out some other camera app for a change.
What is an Aperture?
Basically, Aperture refers to the width of the shutter opening in a camera when a picture is taken. A wider aperture lets more light in and allows pictures to be taken in dimmer light. However, it also creates shallower depth of focus, so that parts of the picture that are more distant (or closer) than the center of focus will appear out of focus. Depending on what effect you’re looking for, this may or may not be a good thing.
The aperture of any camera (not just digital cameras) is measured in terms of “f stop” or “f number.” The technical meaning here involves a 2-based logarithmic scale so that 1 f number difference doubles or halves the amount of light entering the camera.

How it Looks?
A camera’s aperture setting is what determines a photo’s depth of field (the range of distance over which objects appear in sharp focus). Lower f-stop values correlate with a shallower depth of field.
ISO:
The third factor besides shutter speed and aperture that determines the exposure of a picture is the light sensitivity of the electronic array that takes in the light and forms the picture. This is adjustable in most smartphone’s cameras.
The term “ISO” is taken from an international standard measurement of film speed. While the measurement doesn’t directly apply to digital photography it has been borrowed to do so, and the sensitivity to light is displayed as ISO 200, 400, and so on. The higher the ISO sensitivity, the less light will be required to produce a given exposure. With greater light sensitivity, your camera can produce a given desired picture quality at a faster shutter speed and/or a narrower aperture. This is useful when you are taking pictures in dim lighting and don’t want either the blurred motion effect of a slow shutter speed or the narrow depth of field that results from a wide aperture.
It’s better to leave the ISO in automatic adjust mode because the pictures are not always suitable for lower or higher ISO. The picture here might help you understand it better.
We simply love internet, we love being online so much that we own a computer (desktop or laptop), tablet, smartphone and we are looking online for new wearable technology we could connect.
We used to use internet just for communication, sending emails and using instant messengers like msn or yahoo messenger. Then we started using YouTube and social networks. We did this using our desktops or laptops, not anymore. Nowadays you can see one person using multiple devices.
When we connect few or all devices to our home network we can experience lag. If you are not a gamer, you might never have serious problems with lag (Norwegian lagga “go slowly”). But, if you are an online gamer, I can bet you just remembered at least five moments when lag resulted you getting angry, and you probably lost match. Been there, seen that, screamed then!
Do you know what is your internet speed? Is it fast enough and do you need more “power”? Let’s see;
There are several sites where you can check your broadband speed online, check it now and remember it (or write it down). It would be good to check your speed few times (two or three times should be enough to see deviations).
Now let’s see if that is fast enough for you.
1-4 Mbps
This speed will load most sites with ease, you will be able to play some games online without experiencing lag and you will be able to watch YouTube videos (not HD, this could be a problem – slow loading and buffering).
4-6 Mbps
If you have IPTV (internet television) this speed should work great. For an example, Netflix says that you need at least 5Mbps for streaming HD shows and movies. It is important to notice that this is enough if one person (or device) is connected.
6-10 Mbps
This is preferred speed for online gaming and HD videos (YouTube, Netflix, Amazon, etc). This speed should provide uninterrupted gaming and a smooth streaming.
10-15 Mbps
This where you can see “speed”, or at least most users said they noticed the difference. With this speed you can instantly open most websites and cloud services are much more responsive. When you experience this speed you simply can’t go back to slower package.
15-50 Mbps
There isn’t much to say about this speed, by now you should know what can work. If you have several devices or if you usually have more computers connected at the same time this is the speed you need. Also, if you plan to stream your games over a Twitch or similar sites this speed should be good (avoid Wi-Fi).
50+ Mbps
Speeds like this are not usually something we see in our homes, this speed is more for office, video conferencing or real time data analysis. Considering that technology which we can connect to internet is developing and we use it more than ever this speed could be in our homes sooner than expected.
