Wisp Of Down


'The Sony RX10iv rocks'

I never thought the day would come when I would say that it was a real joy and a privilege to own a specific camera; for although I feel sure there is better to come, for a fixed lens alternative to a DSLR the Sony RX10iv Bridge camera ticks virtually all the right boxes.

Its ergonomic design, intuitive layout, ease in use of the controls, and more importantly, the high end quality of the images it produces, are an inviting inspirational driving force, urging the need to get out and shoot; Without the need to carry a multiple of heavier optical lenses necessary to cover the equivalent range from 24 mm to 600 mm and beyond, as associated with using regular DSLR equipment.

I mention 600 mm and beyond, in the reality of advances made in a technological increased zoom capacity enabled by the Vario-Sonnar T* lens, the I” type sensor and the BIONZ X image processor’s advanced algorithm (shown by the image above). Where in, combining the use of the Clear Image Zoom option with the Extra Fine .jpeg file format, the Sony RX10iv effectively provides an equivalent reach of 1200 mm with excellent results.

And last but not least, the 0.03 second Auto Focus is truly a joy.

Parkinson's Falls



There are effectively 3 types to Falls in Parkinson’s Disease.
Type 1. Where a muscle or muscle group fail to energize to cause a topple.
Type 2. Where muscle or group of muscle fail to relax or de-energize, to cause a topple.
Type 3. Where Type 1 & Type 2 combine working against each other, resulting in a tripping up like fall.

Determining the Fall type is essential to assist in any relevant prescription in medication and or physio therapy and exercise routine.

I hope this helps, especially for those who find themselves hitting the ground on a daily basis.
