Sony today launched a great service for aspiring photographers that is guaranteed to help them take better pictures. All you have to do is sign up to their Photo-Assist app and link your Sony camera to your phone.
By combining the image on your camera, a vast library of online photographs and your geolocation data; your camera will be able to tell you were to move to get the best image and will even set up the camera for you. The new technology uses advanced machine learning to compare what your camera sees to all the available online photographs and works out how your pictures could be made better to get more "likes". It uses landmark information, skylines, geographical information and weather forecasts to suggest how you should relocate to improve the photograph. The system compares the image on your camera sensor to the most popular and award winning images to set up the camera to take the perfect picture. It even has options to replicate the photo style of award winning photographers or classic cameras/lenses.
It doesn't matter what you are photographing: landscapes, portraits, vehicles, weddings or even insects, Photo-Assist will take the hard work out of photography and make all your pictures as good as Sony ones. The pictures are automatically shared through your phone to whatever app you chose, so your friends can get instant access to your photography skills. The service will also work with all current Sony camera phones.
In the words of a Sony spokesman "All you have to do is hold up the camera in live view, move where the camera tells you to go, point it towards the direction and frame shown the screen and press the shutter button. We'll do the rest."
