Olympus PEN E-PL3 Camera Review

Olympus launches the new generation of the compact PEN cameras that offer SLR creativity, simple, no-nonsense controls. The new Olympus PEN E-PL3 (Lite) offers state-of-the-art technology in an easy-to-use package. Like the top-of-the range Olympus PEN E-P3, the PEN E-PL3 is packed with some of the very best imaging innovations around. For example, Fast AF, world’s fastest autofocus system for interchangeable cameras and in-body Image Stabilisation. The Olympus E-PL3 is equipped with a 3" tiltable display making it easy to capture stand-out images in awkward situations. The tiltable LCD screen is just one of the user-friendly features that puts the Olympus PEN E-PL3 Lite ahead of any other camera of comparable size.

For a system camera with interchangeable lenses that delivers SLR quality, the Olympus PEN E-PL3 is remarkably small and chic, with a premium, brushed aluminium finish. Stunning pictures from a cool camera that’s as easy to use as a point-and-shoot? Absolutely. That’s what the Olympus E-PL3 is all about.

Olympus PEN E-PL3: Performance & AF System

The Olympus E-PL3 is powered by the new TruePic VI image engine. Olympus TruePic VI makes the camera faster and more responsive all-round, but the speed of the autofocus is amazing. An AF of this speed gives you every chance of capturing even the most spontaneous, fast moving shots. And with 35 separate focus points spread over nearly the whole sensor, it’s even possible to focus on objects tucked away in the corners of the display.

The supercharged Olympus TruePic VI processor makes it possible to record Full HD 1080i videos and capture pristine images in 12.3 Megapixel resolution, even in low light. With a 60Hz frame rate, Full HD resolution and a stereo soundtrack, movie picture quality and realism has to be seen to be believed.

Whether you’re shooting movies or still pictures, the Olympus E-PL3 is especially designed to deliver consistently high performance.

To make the most of excellent optics and to get the very best shots, camera settings need to be spot on. For an amateur, that’s often a challenge that ends in frustration. Not with the Olympus PEN E-PL3 Lite. Olympus Live Guide lets you easily master the settings that make all the difference; motion and background blur, colour intensity, lighting mood and brightness. In a typical shooting situation, the Live Guide helps blur out the background to make a shot more dramatic and show off the foreground to the best effect. You just press a dial to move a bar up and down until you see the shot you want on the LCD. The Olympus PEN E-PL3 chooses the right settings automatically. Adjusting more permanent settings in the menu is simpler too, now that each menu choice has a popup window with a description of how it works.

Among the most advanced automatic aids on the Olympus PEN E-PL3 are the creative Art Filters and new Art Filter Bracketing. All 6 Art filters can be applied on camera to both HD movies and still images and some filters can even be combined to startling effect. Using Art Filter Bracketing, you can experiment with different looks by simultaneously applying different filters to one and the same shot.

The Olympus PEN E-PL3 is compatible with a growing family of high-grade Olympus lenses and accessories. The Olympus E-PL3 comes supplied with the re-sculpted Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm (28-84mm) 1:3.5-5.6 II R, just one of 20 dedicated Micro Four Thirds lenses available for PEN cameras. The supplied Olympus kit lens is specially designed for near-silent operation so you can shoot HD movies in stereo without the annoying background whir.

The Olympus Pen E-PL3 is another strong refinement of the lightweight entry to the Pen range. It's packed with all the features and versatility of a dSLR with the simplicity an size of a smaller camera, and there are plenty if Micro Four Thirds lenses to choose from. The fold-out screen is handy for shooting at new and interesting angles.

Olympus sold its camera business to the company that bought Sony's VAIO division

These days, smartphone cameras are getting better and they can satisfy most of our basic needs when it comes to taking photos. Therefore, digitial cameras have become more of a want rather than a need unless you are taking photography more seriously. Olympus is a brand that you've definitely come accross while looking for a digital camera, but do you know that they're now quiting the camera business?

Olympus has announced that they have sold their camera business to Japan Industrial Partners (JIP), which is the same company that bought Sony's VAIO PC division. It is stated that the camera manufacturer will now focus its much larger business supplying industrial and medical imaging equipment.

Despite the efforts of improving their cost structure and focusing on high-profit cameras and lenses, the company stated they have "recorded operating losses for three consecutive fiscal years up to the term ended in March 2020." It is unsure what plans that JIP have for the business, but it is mentioned that they will continue to sell the existing camera models and develop new ones. The sale will conclude by 3 September 2020.

One Step Ahead with the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G Telco package, the first 5G Certified Smartphone, Available Now

Many have said that the year 2020 is the year of 5G. Smartphones are the first out, making it possible for the average Joe and access to 5G connectivity once the 5G networks are available in our country. Among the bunch, Huawei is the first to have a SIRIM Malaysia certified 5G smartphone - the Mate 30 Pro 5G.

Malaysian telco companies are all working on testing 5G networks and will have 5G devices sold through their platforms. But there are plenty of options and they might be confusing at a glance. While you can make your purchase directly from Huawei, some of you may want a more flexible payment scheme instead. In that case, you can also get the device from Celcom, Digi, Maxis, or U Mobile.

The four main telcos that are offering the Mate 30 Pro 5G all have a form of instalment plan. However, each of them come with different rates, terms and conditions. To make it easier for you to understand, we've summarised some of the key points and included a table below with the breakdown.

Going with Celcom means you'll be able to get some flexibility in purchasing options. You can buy the device directly from Celcom for RM4199, a device and Celcom plan bundle for as low as RM1458, or the instalment plan for RM248 per month. Celcom also has a very high data cap, with 100GB on the Platinum Plus plan.

Digi is a great choice if you prefer monthly instalments at reasonably affordable monthly rates. An advantage if you go with Digi is the availability of Digi Shield, which is an additional warranty service to protect your Mate 30 Pro 5G from accidents. Digi is also tied with Celcom as the telco with the second-highest data cap.

When it comes to 4G speed and coverage reliability, Maxis has always been on top. While it's not guaranteed that it'll be the same for 5G, it's something to keep in mind. More importantly, Maxis lets you purchase the device at different prices depending on the plan you sign up for, as well as an instalment plan if you don't have that much to pay upfront. However, Maxis also has the lowest data cap.

For those who are glued to their phones and bleeding data the whole day, U Mobile is the one for you. Although it only comes in two device bundle plans, the monthly bill is manageable and there's no data cap at all (unlimited!).

The feature is tailored for the Galaxy Fold, Galaxy Z Fold2, Galaxy Tab S7, and S7+.

Acer Malaysia introduces AOPen, a sub-brand of affordable monitors

It's great to see facing high-end gaming monitors, but most people only need a simple one that works. Acer Malaysia wants to provide more option to such people with AOpen, a sub-brand that has a new range of affordable monitors. To celebrate the release of AOpen, Acer Malaysia is launching a promo campaign from 5 to 12 June 2020.

According to Acer Malaysia, the AOpen monitors will mainly focus on affordability. However, the company will aim to do so without compromising too much. AOpen monitors will still have features like BlueLight Shield and Flicker-less technology, which will help reduce eye strain from long hours of use. The new monitors will also have a 6-axis colour adjustment so that you can calibrate the monitor to aid customers who require obtaining exact colours and hues.

There are three new monitors currently available under the AOpen sub-brand. First, there's the AOpen 22CV1Q is a 21.5-inch VA monitor (1920x1080) with a max refresh rate of 75Hz and it costs just RM289. Then there is the slightly bigger AOpen 24CL1Y, a 23.8-inch IPS monitor (1920x1080) that will retail for RM379. Lastly, there's the AOpen 27HC5RP, a 27-inch curved monitor with a refresh rate that can go up to 165Hz (via overclocking). It also has AMD FreeSync, thin bezels, and can be tilted - all for just RM699. Quite a steal, if you ask me.

As part of the official launch tomorrow, Acer Malaysia will have a 9-hour Shocking Sale on Shopee. It will be held on 7 June 2020 starting from midnight (12 am to 9 am). During the sale, you'll get to shave another RM40 off from the AOpen 22CV1Q and RM50 off from the AOpen 24CL1Y.

So, do any of these monitors catch your eye? Let us know what you think about them on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news and updates.


One UI 4.0 coming to Windows laptops as One UI Book 4

With the release of Android 12, smartphone manufacturers have started working on custom skins for their devices. For Samsung, the beta of One UI 4.0 became available earlier this month and adds plenty of new features. Interestingly, the custom skin will also be available for non-mobile devices.

In the latest promo videos, Samsung revealed that One UI 4.0 will be available on laptops as the One UI Book 4. Specifically, the company aims to bring the mobile experience for the Galaxy smartphone series to the Galaxy Book series of laptops. The operating system will still be based on Windows, but the user interface elements like the icons and menu will be similar to the regular One UI 4.0.

From the looks of it, Samsung could be aiming to improve the integration of Samsung mobile devices with its Galaxy Book laptops. Ideally, One UI Book 4 would also be downloaded for non-Samsung laptops. Such a move would make sense, especially since the Samsung Galaxy Book series might not be available in some countries.

If you want more details about Samsung's latest custom UI, check the official intro page. For those who have, what are your thoughts on the UI so far? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.

One UI 4.1 brings some new camera features to older Samsung Galaxy phones

Samsung does really care about its older devices. Alongside the launch of the One UI 4.1, the Korean tech giant has also brought some of the new camera features to older Galaxy smartphones. Now, let's read on to find out about what the features are and which of your Galaxy device will get them.

According to Samsung's community forums, features including Night Portrait, Pet recognition, Lighting position editing, Portrait video with the telephoto lens, and Improved Director's View are making their way to selected previous Galaxy devices. These include the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and Galaxy S20 FE. However, bear in mind that not all devices will get all the mentioned features.

Samsung has always been generous by letting older Galaxy devices' users experience the new features debuted with the latest flagship series. Recently, the company had also offered Object Eraser launched with the Galaxy S21 series to many older devices, and even the Galaxy A52 got it. Therefore, let's hope that Samsung will continue with this strategy and never make anything (the ones that don't require a hardware upgrade) exclusive to only the latest flagship.

What is your thought about Samsung doing this? Leave a comment to let us know, and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech reports.


One of the HONOR 70 models gets certified, could be around the corner

HONOR refreshes its HONOR number series twice a year. After launching the HONOR 50 series in mid-2021, the brand took no time to announce the HONOR 60 near the end of the year. Until now, one of the HONOR 70 devices has been certified by 3C, hinting that the next generation devices could just be around the corner.

According to the certification, the device with model number FNE-AN00 will have a 4,800 mAh battery and support 66W fast charging. However, there's nothing new here as the previous HONOR 60 an 60 Pro have the same tech specs. Despite that, HONOR might still have something up its sleeve, as it's said that there could be a Pro Plus variant that supports faster charging speed.

Meanwhile, the HONOR 70 Pro and 70 Pro Plus would go with MediaTek's Dimensity chips by packing the Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000 respectively. It's worth mentioning that the HONOR Magic4 is launching globally tomorrow, but don't expect the HONOR 70 series to pop up at the event.

One of the Netflix plans is now just RM28 per month

With all the news about Netflix trying to get rid of password-sharing among Netflix freeloaders, we just got the surprise news of the newly announced price slash for one of the plans. If you're using Netflix Basic, you're in luck because it's now RM28 per month.

Initially, the monthly payment for Netflix Basic was RM35. Although the price was decreased, the features remain the same. To refresh your memory, you can only watch and download Netflix on one (1) supported device at a time. The resolution is still in HD and you will have access to unlimited movies, TV shows, and mobile games, as well as ad-free TV shows and movies.

As for the other Netflix plans, there are no changes to the monthly payment for Mobile, Standard and Premium. The following prices for each of these plans are RM17, RM45 and RM55 per month and if you would like to read more, you can visit the official Netflix Malaysia plans and pricing webpage right here.

Netflix initially wanted to charge Netflix users extra top-ups for sharing with other users outside of their designated single household. But it was met with an uproar because the primary user would have more than two or three devices to watch Netflix. Previously, the support page for it was allegedly uploaded by "mistake" and it has since then been removed.

At the moment, Netflix is still figuring out how to work on the password-sharing rules. Until then, we just have to wait and see what happens by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


OnePlus 10 Pro Extreme Edition release: 512GB storage and new Panda White colour at ~RM3,826

OnePlus has launched an 'Ultra' version of the OnePlus 10 in China. However, the device, dubbed OnePlus 10 Pro Extreme Edition, doesn't really bring anything exciting to the table. The device only came with larger storage space and a new colour variant, so don't expect anything impressive such as a new camera setup.

The OnePlus 10 Pro Extreme Edition comes in new Panda White and has a ceramic finish. It'll only be available in one storage option, which is a combination of 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. It's worth mentioning that the previously launched OnePlus 10 devices only go up to 256GB.

Besides those, the OnePlus 10 Pro Extreme Edition comes with the same 6.7-inch AMOLED QHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, and a 5,000mAh battery with 80W charging. It's no different from the standard OnePlus 10 Pro. The device will start selling in China from 1 March for CNY 5799 (~RM3,826).

It's still unsure if the device will make it to the local market. If there's any information, we'll be the first one to tell you. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more smartphone news.

OnePlus 10 Pro might be working with Hasselblad and OPPO on getting a new periscope lens

It’s almost coming to the end of the year 2021 and OnePlus doesn’t seem to have big launches coming up soon for these final months. But we got a new leak showing us the upcoming OnePlus 10 series might have a new periscope zoom on the OnePlus 10 Pro.

According to the leakster Mukul Sharma, the periscope zoom lens sensor will support up to 5x optical zoom. But that’s all we got for now as the tipster did not share any details of the cameras or their resolution. The OnePlus 10 series is expected to be launching earlier next year.

Since OnePlus and OPPO have merged this year, it is expected that OnePlus is developing a new camera system with Hasselblad and integrated it with some OPPO solutions for the pericopic lens. As OPPO made its name in the department of periscope camera sensors since the OPPO Find X series and also teased a new adjustable focal length of 85mm to 135mm periscope camera earlier this year. We can assume this will be seen in the upcoming OnePlus 10 Pro.

As of now, there’s still no official confirmation on the tech specs and release dates for the OnePlus 10 series, so do take this with a pinch of salt. But we are expecting to get more leaks in the coming months. Do stay tuned for more tech news updates on TechNave.com


3 reasons why you would want Samsung's The Frame in your living room

When it comes to TVs, many think of them as plain black boxes to watch movies or TV shows. Quite often, they don't fit in with artful decor, prompting many people to hide their TVs completely in such situations. But what if your TV could also blend in with all your art pieces?

Say hi to Samsung's The Frame, an out-of-the-box smart TV that not only displays stunning visuals but also looks as good as any other masterpiece. It comes with many features that make it rather unique, compared to other TVs. In no particular order, here are 3 reasons why you may want to make The Frame a part of your living room.

At first glance, Samsung's The Frame doesn't look like a TV. You could lift it out of the box and go "when did I order a picture frame?" Yup, this smart TV looks like a frame for photos or art pieces. It's probably why Samsung gave it that particular moniker, but what's special about this?

Well, it's a beautiful looking product and an art piece on its own. You can get it to match your living room or personal space with customisable modern or beveled bezels, so you can pick the one you like best. For the modern bezels, you have white, brown and teak, while the beveled ones come in brick red and white. On top of that, the new model has a body that's 46% slimmer than the 2020 model at only 24.9mm in thickness. You could mount it on your wall and it wouldn't look out of place.

You don't get a smart TV like this just to mount it on a wall, right? As the name suggests, The Frame can be turned into a digital photo frame. Specifically, you can use it to display your choice of digital photo or art piece collection.

This is done with Art Mode, a home screen mode for The Frame where your collection of photos or artwork can be displayed with the help of the My Collection feature on the Smart View app. When switched off, The Frame will enable Art Mode and transform into an art gallery. With this mode, you could place The Frame among your physical collection of artwork and it would blend right in.

But what if you don't have any fancy artwork like that? No worries, you can subscribe to the Art Store and download one from an expanded library of 1400+ pieces of artwork from the world's leading art galleries. You could also send personal photos from your phone or transfer them via a USB drive!

Of course, what's a TV if not for watching TV shows or movies? The Frame is definitely excellent in this regard, as it is a 4K smart TV that uses Samsung's in-house QLED technology. It also comes with a bunch of accompanying tech that improves your viewing experience.

With QLED technology, The Frame covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. It also has dual LED backlighting for improved colour contrast and authentic black tones. In addition to that, the TV has the built-in Quantum Processor 4K that enables AI upscaling to significantly improve the video quality of low-resolution content to 4K resolution.

For audio, there's also SpaceFit Sound that analyses your room environment, then auto-optimises the sound profile to one that is optimised for it. Moreover, this smart TV has features like Multi View, Mobile Mirroring, and Tap View. Multi View is particularly useful, as it lets you watch content from up to four different sources (i.e smartphone, tablet, laptop) on The Frame.

These three main aspects are just some of the various reasons to get The Frame for your living space. In terms of features, the TV also has the Samsung Bixby voice assistant. There's also a variety of accessories including the Slim Fit Wall-Mount (already included) and Studio Stand for displaying The Frame in the hallway. Moreover, The Frame's stand is height-adjustable, which is useful when you just want to treat it like a TV with a soundbar. There's also the One Connect Box that's great for easier cable management, and you can even hide it to maintain a clean, minimalistic look for your room.

The Frame 2021 supports Samsung Bixby too

The new Eco-packaging can be repurposed and used as shoe shelves

Samsung is also planning to go Green with some of its new products. This includes new Eco-packaging and oil-based ink for its TV's boxes, which helps reduce waste as it can be repurposed. On top of that, the remote control is made out of 24% recycled material, another move by the company to become more eco-friendly. It's even powered by Solar Cells, which eliminates the need to buy disposable batteries.

OnePlus 10 Pro might drop the periscope cam for a normal telephoto cam

Last month, sources were claiming that the OnePlus 10 Pro would come with a periscope camera. That would be an upgrade from its predecessor's telephoto sensor. However, a new report claimed that the new model won't have any periscope camera.

According to Digital Chat Station, the engineering sample for the OnePlus 10 Pro only had a regular telephoto camera. It delivers 3.3x optical zoom and up to 30x digital zoom, which is the same specification as the OnePlus 9 Pro. This suggests that the new model is using the same 8MP telephoto sensor. He also mentioned that the next OPPO Find series and realme GT 2 don't have any periscope camera.

Besides the camera, the OnePlus 10 Pro is also expected to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. It could also come with a 6.7-inch 120Hz display and a 5000mAh battery. Other specs could include a 16MP selfie cam, 65W fast charging, and 50W wireless charging.

OnePlus will probably launch this phone next year, which means there's still plenty of time and the info above might be inaccurate. Having said that, what do you think would make the phone a worthwhile upgrade? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about it.

In addition, the phone should be similar to the Pro variant, except with better specs. It should come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, a 5000mAh battery, and a 6.7-inch LTPO2 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Besides that, the OnePlus 10 Ultra should have an under-display fingerprint reader, 80W fast charging, 50W wireless charging, and Android 12 support (ColorOS 12.1).

To be honest, the OnePlus 10 Pro looks fancier than the OnePlus 10 Ultra. Of course, the latter has a periscope camera, which is great if you like to take long-distance photos. But which do you prefer? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news about this phone.


OnePlus 10 series could be unveiled at CES on 5 Jan 2022

Rumours of the OnePlus 10 series have been around since October. It's more or less confirmed that it would come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, but there was no solid news on the launch window. Until now, that is.

OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that the OnePlus 10 Pro would launch in January 2022. It's assumed that the Pro variant would also launch with the standard OnePlus 10. The exact launch date was not revealed, but sources believe that OnePlus would make the reveal at CES 2022 held between 5 to 8 January 2022.

Besides that, some details of the OnePlus 10 series were already leaked previously. There are some renders for the OnePlus 10 Pro, which comes with a triple-camera plus LED flash module in a 2x2 layout. It's also rumoured that OnePlus could go back to using a regular telephoto lens instead of a periscope camera.

These leaks are from reliable sources, so we're inclined to trust their accuracy. Regardless, the launch should just be 2-3 weeks away, so stay tuned to TechNave for the eventual launch report!

OnePlus 10T image leaked, expected to feature Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Back in April, OnePlus launched the OnePlus 10 Pro globally. But there was no local release for that device, so it's believed that the company was waiting to release a few models in one go. Now it looks like the company could be ready, as sources have begun leaking details for what could be the OnePlus 10T.

Thanks to Yogesh Brar, we have our first look at what's either the OnePlus 10 or the OnePlus 10T.

It's also confirmed that it would have a 50MP main camera with OIS.
