Double the brightness in low light photos with new color filtering technology
- lutusp 14y agoHere's the title of this submission: "Double low light brightness with Panasonic's new color filtering technology" But the technical advance being described doubles all light levels, not just low levels. Let's look at the title of the original article: "Double the brightness in low light photos with Panasonic's new color filtering technology" That means something completely different -- the submitter mangled the headline to the degree that it lost its original meaning. The point is that all light levels are doubled. The distorted version is that this only works for low light brightness levels. Does this error matter? Yes, it does -- doubling all light levels means all exposure times can be cut in half, or if the same exposures are used, noise figures are reduced to 50%. The badly worded title destroys the meaning of the article. Moral: do not write your own headlines -- you will get it wrong.
