Fujifilm Launches FinePix S200EXR Digital Camera In India

Fujifilm India has announced the launch and availability of Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR a new digital camera model aimed at top-end enthusiasts looking for excellent picture quality without the expense of a DSLR system. Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR comes with 12 Megapixel Super CCD EXR sensor and Fujinon 14.3x Optical zoom lens.
Another exciting feature of the Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR is EXR Auto which takes the guesswork out of setting the camera by doing everything for you

. EXR Auto is essentially a very sophisticated set of program modes. The camera can automatically detects from six different types of scenes – Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Backlit Portrait, Night, and Night Portrait.

The FinePix S200EXR offers five film simulation modes – the Velvia/Vivid mode for rich and luscious landscapes; the PROVIA/Standard mode for excellent, sharp, standard photography; the ASTIA/Soft mode for soft, fine, smooth tonality; the Black & White mode captures the dramatic honesty of your image in black and white; and the Sepia mode creates a sense of nostalgia with the warm brown “antique” tones of Sepia.

The EXR sensor automatically adjusts itself to optimum settings depending on the light. When the light is strong and even, the camera can be switched to HR (High Resolution) mode to ensure every small detail is captured. When light is strong but contrast, the sensor can switch to DR (Dynamic Range) mode to get the optimal balance between highlight and shadows. In low light the sensor will switch to SN (High Sensitivity and Low Noise) mode, to ensure clean noise-free pictures even in the darkest conditions. The ultra-high precision Fujinon lens achieves maximum resolution at all focal lengths of 30.5mm-436mm equivalent with maximum aperture of a bright F2.8 (wide angle) to F5.3 (telephoto). Because of the composite body and lens structure, there is no need to worry about dirt or dust on the Super CCD EXR sensor.

In the FinePix S200EXR, an identical effect, Pro Focus Mode, is created using new Multi-Frame Technology. A burst of 2 or 3 frames is taken, and by taking the distance information off, the main subject is crisply matted against a defocused foreground and background. Pro Focus Mode is perfect for portrait or nature photography. Meanwhile, Pro Low-light Mode is applied to solving the problems of noisy low light shots. Once switched to Pro Low-light Mode, the camera will take burst of 4 high sensitivity images using Pixel Fusion Technology in quick succession. Owing to the Multi Frame Technology, the first, second, third and fourth images are overlapped to create one image with extremely low noise.Other features of the FUJIFILM FinePix S200EXR include the intelligent flash, high contrast 2.7 inch LCD that’s viewable even in bright light and at 160 degree angle, multi bracketing, dual image stabilization, face detection with automatic red-eye removal etc.The Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR camera is available in India for an MRP of Rs. 32,999/-.

Should Employees Be Loyal To Their Employers...

A question which haunts both employers and employees, should they trust each other or not? As said an employee may love his employer, but can't say when employers may show him the door out. Change is a big challenge for both employer and employee.
From an employers prospective is any of his employee quits, he need to find a suitable candidate for the same post as early as possible. With each passing day employer is loosing on business, which can't continue for long. Even when they find a new person for the post, he may also take sometime to understand about the firm and operation to know it in a better way.
For employees joining a new firm is always a challenge because they need to adjust with many new things like place, people, their cabin, working pattern and many others. On top of that they have immense pressure to perform well for retaining their job. If a new employee is not able to perform well within specified period of time, he may be thrown out.
Even then both employees and employers are willing to ditch each other at any given point of time, why? Answer to this question may come out with concrete solution to one of the major problem of the organization. But to reach up to an y conclusion both parties need to compromise on few things, that can happen only then when an employee starting think from the perspective of employer and vice versa.
"Loyalty can't be bought by money, it has to be earned" this is one thing which both employer and employees need to keep in mind. That's the reason why few employees are not willing to part with their current employer even if they get good package outside.
What have you decided to stick on or move further? Any decision be cautious and firm about it.

Top Ten Mistakes That Bosses Make

Bangalore: Calling the boss H - Hitler, A - Arrogant, R - Rascal and I - Idiot caught everyone's attention in Naukri's TV commercial, would you do the same if given an opportunity? Even though it was just an advertisement, it did reflect the plight of employees in the IT industry. There was a survey conducted  to find out top ten mistakes that even good managers and bosses make. 
1 - Micro-management
Sometimes when bosses assign work to an employee they don't completely trust that employee will be capable of completing the work. They underestimate the ability of the people they hire and end up offending the employee. "According to experts, the number one mistake is, not effectively identifying the strengths of the employee, thereby micro managing or not delegating or not trusting the employee's judgment. A good boss is one who brings out the best in the employee," says Sharda Balaji, Founder of NovoJuris Services.
2 - Using improper mode of communication
Some bosses have this weird sense that since they are boss they should order people around and create a military kind of environment. They feel the stricter the things are the better things are organized. If an employee is late for some deadline, then the boss starts labeling the work or the employee himself.
3 - Leading through intimidation
This is one of the worst kind of mistake that bosses make. They feel that if an employee is threatened to work they will perform better. What the boss does not realize is that employee under such pressure end up losing interest in work and will meet the deadline just for the heck of it. Such employees then would only do what is asked from them and will never happily give hundred percent to do something good for the company.
4 - Lacking empathy for employee's situation
There are sometimes when employees do make excuses to take leave or when they come late. But not every reason is an excuse. Bosses end up thinking that their employees are always making excuses and do not showing any consideration for employee's situation
5 - Becoming inaccessible to your employees
An employee wants to contact his boss for something important but he is busy with other things and does not give any weightage to employee's problem and hence he is scared to approach his bosss.

6 - Not providing guidance or motivating employees
An employee should always have something to look forward to. A good manager knows how to motivate employees to make them perform better but for this they have to spend some time with their team. In today's IT work environment many of the managers have no time to spend with the team due to day long meetings. As a result they miss out on understanding a team member's problem at work and providing the right support and solutions for the same. Failing to support and understanding a team member will lead to recipe of resignation. A manager should always have the practice of having one on one to know more about the team member, and then provide right feedback at the same time to motivate with the right attitude. 
7 - Not providing a clear picture - Transparency
Many times work is assigned by bosses to employees without clearly telling them the complete picture. Boss should always maintain transparency with their employee to make them understand what exactly they are doing. "If bosses start informing their team about the correct scenarios and maintain transparency about a project, then the employees will work more willingly and meeting the deadline will no longer be a concern of the boss alone," said Juilee Joshi, who worked as a Technical Support analyst at BMC software.
8 - Insecurity about their post
Some bosses prefer to do things alone rather than taking teams help as they are unsecure that someone will provide better solution, and thus they get a sense of insecurity about their post. "There is something unique about Indian bosses. They get this superiority complex about their position and I fail to understand why. There are many extremely capable folks who like to remain in the 'individual contributors' role because they do not enjoy people management," said Balaji. "You can deal with an egoistic boss, a demanding boss, an impatient boss... but the worst kind is the one who is insecure.
9 - Trying to be friend as well as boss or showing partiality
This is the trickiest part of the boss-employee relationship. Some of the bosses try to maintain a perfect balance between professionalism and friendship but it does not always work well for the company. Employees might become lenient in submitting at deadline or boss might start expecting too much from employees since they are good friend as well.
Another part of this equation can be showing partiality or favoring certain employees over others which create negative vibes in the team.
10 - Making fake promises
In order to motivate employees many time managers make fake promises of promotion or goodies but when the time comes they just stall it. This de-motivates an employee a great deal and might backfire badly on the company.
There are many other mistakes that bosses commit but we felt that these are the top ten reasons. You may think differently and have your own reasons. We would like to hear the top mistakes that your boss makes. Do let us know.
