The split-brain research mentioned by Gazzaniga included showing a subject a different image in each eye, meaning the right and left halves of the brain were presented with different stimuli, with neither being aware of the other.
With the flash on, the camera automatically merges an image of the subject illuminated with the flash in the foreground with a separate image of the background nightscape, to produce a single, clear night photo.
An email sender's image and subject line will appear on the device's screen, and users can reply by dictating their messages.
An activity spike in the left prefrontal cortex--an "approach" response to the image of a Kit Kat chocolate bar--would suggest the subject is attracted to the brand image or message.
But what may be more important is changing the image of the subject.
Persistent tap-to-track also adjusts the camera exposure depending on any movement, helping avoid under- or over-exposure of the image's subject or background.

The Olympus STYLUS XZ-2 is packed with additional technologies including DUAL IS, which combines with high-sensitivity shooting to reduce camera shake and subject blur, providing double image stabilization.
And for effortless image composition and image playback, the PENTAX X-5 also features a large tiltable 3.0-inch, high-definition LCD screen that offers sharp image viewing, even in bright sunlight, while allowing users to shoot from high and low angles to keep the subject neatly framed in the image area.

It says a lot about Australian attitudes on the subject that Ms Gillard's image-makers clearly saw the sit-down interview with Channel Nine as a plus rather than as a negative.
Besides improving upon the resolution of its 8 megapixel predecessor, the FZ30, the FZ50 also throws down a new feature called Intelligent ISO Control, which adjusts the ISO setting (max. 1600) and shutter speed based on subject movement -- promising to minimize image blur without forcing the user to adjust the manual controls.
By using this function in combination with high-sensitivity shooting, camera shake and subject blur is effectively reduced, providing double image stabilization.

When a moving subject is cut out of a number of images and combined with a different still shot that forms the background, the size of the subject can be changed to suit the background image.

Advanced Shadow Adjustment Technology adjusts dark areas within an image shot under backlit conditions so that a subject's face can be revealed even under strong lighting, and Hand-Held Starlight mode, which helps users at night by capturing multiple images and stitching them together into a single, crisp photo, can now be used with a flash.
Mr Williams said he stumbled across the image in a book or magazine while researching the subject of survival at the beginning of his final school year.
Tapping in on the chosen subject within the frame of the cameras' LCD monitor instantly focuses the subject and automatically triggers the shutter for instantaneous in-focus image capture thanks to the Touch AF Shutter function.
With DUAL IS, the combination of CMOS shift-type image stabilization and high-sensitivity shooting, both camera shake and subject blur are effectively reduced.

"I once challenged a group of middle-school students to name a subject of interest to them, and I told them I could put up an image that would show their connection to the story, " he recalled.

With 3D image capture, the Olympus SP-620UZ combines two photos of the same subject from different angles to generate dynamic 3D images that can be viewed on a 3D-compatible monitor or television.

If no subject movement is identified, the EXR-CMOS sensor automatically keeps the ISO lower and uses image stabilization to reduce noise.

The tunnel is brightly coloured to optimise the contrast between the subject's clothing and background, making it easier for the researchers to capture a 3D image as they walk.
Shooting at high ISO sensitivity enables users to shoot at faster shutter speeds and reduce the effects of image blur caused by camera shake even in low-light situations or when shooting a moving subject, delivering clean and sharp images with minimal noise.

Typically, a flash can be too bright and wash out one's subject when used in low-light or night-time settings, ruining what could have been a great image.

It's also really handy to use Google image search as your source because you're likely not to have hundreds of images on one specific subject, but google does.
