Hi all
In this artical I am going to review the PSP camera and the software that came with it in the 3.00 update (I am not reviewing the UMD software, it is the software that came with 3.00)
Camera
Specifications
Name - chotto shot
Weight - 15g
Price - £30, $43, 5,000 yen
Resolution - 1.3 megapixel
Software
The software that came with the 3.00 Update is located under the Photo menu of the XMB, you must first plug the camera in to the USB socket before you can run the software.
Photo mode
When you start the software from the XMB the camera starts up in photo mode, the basic controls are..
- L button to look at other pictures you have taken
- Up and down buttons to zoom in or out
- R button to take photo
- Triangle to bring up the options menu
- Select takes you to movie mode
- Circle takes you back to the XMB
When you are looking at the screen to take the photo at the bottom there are details displayed about your current settings
- Where you have chosen to sace ur photos to
- What image quality you have
- Chosen picture size
- White balance option
- It also displays a sort of help thing where it tells you which buttons to press
The camera in photo mode has a X2.8 digital zoom and the pictures are saved in .jpeg format
If you press triangle a menu of options appear on the screen like in the music player, video player and picture viewer and these options for the photo mode are...
- Record - Takes a photo
- To movie mode - takes you to movie mode
- Review - Lets you look at all other taken photos while still on the camera
- Settings - Lets you choose main settings including to change the shutter sounds, there are a selection of 5 shutter sounds to choose from, There is also the option to choose where you store your taken photos and there is a reset file number option
- Display - This either displays your chosen settings and help text or either hide this information
- Zoom in
- Zoom out
- Image size - choose from 320 X 240, 480 X 272, 640 X 480 and 1280 X 960
- Image quality - Fine quality or standard quality
- White balance - This is where you choose what type of enviroment you take your photo in, if you wanted to take a photo in daylight you will choose the daylight option, If you are in dark places you can either have Fluorescent or Incandescent or if your not sure what to choose put it in automatic and the camera should do all the work for you
- Exposure adjustment - goes from -1.5 to + 1.5
- Effect - This chooses the type of mode you want your camera to be in you can either have sketch, toy camera, Distortion, text ot you can just have it normal
That is all the details of the software in camera mode, on to movie mode.
Video mode
When you press select or go to movie mode from photo mode the basic controls are..
- L to review taken videos
- R to record video
- Select to go back to photo mode
- Triangle to bring up the options menu
- Circle to go back to the XMB
When you are in movie mode and looking at the screen just like in photo mode it displays your settings at the bottom of the screen, it displays..
- Movie film type
- Image quality
- where you save your videos to
- how much you have recored (timer)
The camera in Movie mode has a X1.4 digital zoom and the videos are saved as motion jpeg format video and also this peice of built in software lets you record an unlimited amount of video provided that you have space on your memory stick.
Just like in photo mode if you press triangle a menu comes up like in the music player, movie player and the photo viewer, the options on this menu are...
- Record - Start Recording video
- To photo mode - Takes you to photo mode
- Review - Lets you look at videos you have taken while still on the camera
- Settings - Lets you choose main settings including to change the shutter sounds, there are a selection of 5 shutter sounds to choose from, There is also the option to choose where you store your taken photos and there is a reset file number option
- Display - This either displays your chosen settings and help text or either hide this information
- Zoom in
- Zoom out
- Movie size - This is where you choose how big your video is you can choose from 320 X 240 (15fps), 320 X 240 (30 fps), 480 X 272 (15fps) and 480 X 272 (30fps)
- Image quality - you can choose from fine quality or standard quality
- White balance - This is where you choose what type of enviroment you take your photo in, if you wanted to take a photo in daylight you will choose the daylight option, If you are in dark places you can either have Fluorescent or Incandescent or if your not sure what to choose put it in automatic and the camera should do all the work for you
- Exposure adjustment - This goes from -1.5 to +1.5
And that about covers it for the camera and software that came with 3.00.
The only other thing i could mention is that this is something that could be added to in future firmware updates, sony could add more camera effects, more white balance options, more shutter sounds etc, something that can always be added to.
So what do you think to this?

Via Pocketgamer:
Put down your weapons, the shootout is over. A two-week long exclusive poll of Pocket Gamer readers has revealed that dual analogue sticks are the hardware upgrade most desired for the next version of Sony's PSP.
In what was admittedly a tight vote, 28 per cent of voters plumped for the two sticks upgrade, versus the 27 per cent who'd most like to see Sony make the screen touch sensitive.
The result won't surprise anyone who's played the likes of Star Wars Battlefront II. Control of certain kinds of games has been a bugbear for PSP gamers from day one. While developers have increasingly successfully compensate for the console's control limitations (for example, GUN: Showdown generous auto-aim feature) there's no doubt the single analogue stick has lessened the PSP's ability to pull ahead of DS in certain genres where its technical smarts would otherwise serve it well, such as first person shooters.
The results in full
What would you most like to see in PSP 2.0?Dual analogue sticks 28%
Touchscreen 27%
Built-in mobile phone 21%
Built in camera and mic 16%
Clamshell case 5%

New PSP Game preorder at SuccessHK
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops redefines the stealth action genre for handheld gaming systems with an original storyline that follows from the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and boasts ground-breaking online play that lets gamers recruit comrades to form a unique fighting force.
The single-player campaign of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops follows the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, as Naked Snake establishes FOXHOUND in an attempt to hunt down the treacherous FOX unit, which has started a bloody revolt in South America. Set in 1970, the game will be the missing link in the ongoing Metal Gear saga, as players will learn more about returning characters such as Para-Medic, Major Zero and Sigint and also witness Naked Snake's greatest tragedy ?a loss that sets into motion the events of later games in the Metal Gear Solid timeline.

new release via weltall
this is a new version which completes the work of REV.A and updates the UMF installer.
Among the changes we have the possibility to change brightness with the screen button on the four brightness level (0 -> 25 -> 50 -> 75 -> 100 -> 0 -> ...) also with only the battery and the screenshoot function is available in two versions and changeable from the config menu: the fast version which was builtin in 0.1.6 and the slow but more compatible version which was builtin in 0.1.6 REV.A. At the moment the only games affected by problems with the fast version of the screenshoot function are the two GTA so if you don't use them you can disable the compatibility mode and have a faster screenshoot experience
this is the complete changelog:
0.1.6 REV. B for 2.71SE
-now it's possible to use both the screenshoot version (the high speed/less compatible,
and the high compatible/slower version) just by changing the options in the config submenu
NOTE: the high compatible version is default
-now it's possible to change the brightness by using the screen button (what's used normally
to change brightness) and put the screen at 0% -> 25% -> 50% -> 75% -> 100% brightness
NOTE: this is disabled as default so if you want it you must enable it under the config menu
0.1.6 REV. A for 2.71SE
-now the screenshoot function can work in two ways (the faster custum mode,
and the more compatible mode from the screenshoot prx from nekokabu)
-for this version the screenshoot function is locked to the compatibility mode
it will be setupable in a next version
-the clock is now changed when exiting cwcheat menu (it should fix games like burnout
locking up cwcheat when changing clock sometimes)
-changed the installer with the coldbird one

New PS3 Game released at SuccessHK
Ridge Racer has traditionally been about fictional car makes and models and, with Ridge Racer 7, you're going have tons of rides to choose from, and lots of options for customizing them. Dubbed the "machine connector," the customization tool in Ridge Racer 7 lets you make a multitude of cosmetic changes to your cars, with new rims, paint jobs, decals, and body kits for various segments of your ride. More importantly, you can also affect the handling of your car with new engine parts, nitrous kits, and plug-ins. With the nitrous setups, there are a number of different options: kits with more than three nitrous "cells" to fill up, giving you more boosts to access; nitrous systems with less capacity but more power; or nitrous kits that feature a single cell of nitrous. This last one seems more flexible, as you can enable and disable the nitrous simply by pressing and letting go of the nitrous button; traditional Ridge Racer nitrous systems use an entire cell of nitrous once you've pressed the button. Plug-ins are additional parts you can add to your car to give it a specific advantage, such as guaranteed rocket starts off the line and many others.

It is here...LuaAirForce 0.4 With lots and lots of new features, this a game you wouldnt want to miss. Before getting into details, i would like to thank -Tactical Paper- becuase he helped me so much in this game, same with pspgamer and cools. NOW the fun and details, this list includes every feature put after the first version was released:
-New menus
-Smaller Files
-Health bar
-button smasher mode (kill a slow moving boss thats comming towatrds you if you dont he will touch you and you die.. button smasher mode is difficult, cuz you can only shoot 5 bullets at once at the screen and if you shoot more the first bullet you shot will disappear, so it might not reach the plane, its challenging but doable)
-space out levels more
-more weapons
-ultra speed survival (how long can you last in super speed)
-Planes now scroll off screen instead of popping off
-Animation when planes are shot
-Bullet now has tracer-like red on it
-At certain levels the speed ACTUALLY increases
-Ammunition limit added
-Points are gained when enemies are shot
-Code was cleaned up a bit, runs smoother
-Sometimes explosions stop midway through and sit there untill planes move off screen, especially at high speeds with the small planes
-No more Bullet.lua, combined with game.lua
-Minor buggies were fixed
-Start or Select now exit the game
- ONLINE DUAL (please do not use this feature for a few days because the server is currently down)
Online feature is using your wireless internet router, face someone by obth starting at the same time, and you can see your opponents score, and see who can go longer and last longer
If any bugs are found please post them here.
Thanks goes to -Tacticalpaper-, pspgamer512, and cools for their help.
ENJOY
