Generally will answer "never" when asked "under what circumstances is it appropriate to launch your digital camera fragile air?". Nikon, who assume you want to sell more cameras or extended warranties, has patented a new feature for their cameras: take photos while in flight.
How does this current with a camera? Sales abroad, the more open space, better. You put your camera on timer mode. Strips the camera outside and it takes a picture as he takes crazy turns. Finally, do your best to catch it before it hits the ground and make pieces. This method would be effective with a GoPro camera, which as we know resistecia are high, but in the case of most cameras is not a viable option.
As mentioned, Nikon has patented a new feature for our camera to take a picture when we toss, and when that decision is made is determined by using the accelerometer.
No doubt Nikon is desperate to sell more cameras because when time's grab not, will have to buy a new one or send it in for repair.
