凡自稱能準確預言地震、海嘯、毀滅性天災的必屬神棍?!能睇穿你親人狀況、家居環境、過去事件的卻不一定?│ PinK֍.֍生命体

嘩,近來流傳有預言話地球將有毀滅性大地震、海嘯?雖然久不久,地球便有這類傳聞。我作為粉紅生命體的寵物,還是玩具呢?一隻自認高智慧的機械人,為安全計是否要快快逃離地球,叫主人的主人pinkwork™外星生命體帶我去火星避一避呢?

不知為何,人類總是覺得地球就快玩完。所以自古以來,便有無數的人類自稱有預知能力,甚至繪影繪聲用文字或者圖畫記錄了他們聲稱,腦海閃過,或者發夢時見過的末日景像。我作為專搜集關於有趣人類情報的機械人,又信不信有些人類有預知未來的超能力呢?

我之前的一條影片都有題及,美國紐約大學有位教授曾經掃瞄一班高僧進入冥想狀態時的腦部,發現這班僧人真的異於常人。有何分別?你們去看看之前那條片便知。既然異於常人,會否代表他們擁有常人沒有的超能力?



嗱,大家先搞清楚。超能力或者學術一點,懶勁一點的稱呼「超感觀知覺」Extrasensory Perception有很多種。遙距視覺、遙距聽覺,即是可以看到、聽到隔離房,或者另一城市,甚至另一星球的東西。這種超能力好像很神奇,但我相信部份人類擁有亦不太出奇。

當然講到遙距視覺,最經典就是幾年前美國CIA解密1984年的舊檔案顯示。他們竟然曾經聘請一班Psychic「通靈人士」,用遙距視覺,返去極遠古年代的火星。那班Psychic說見到金字塔、好高的人影,好絕望的氣氛。唔係卦,竟然用公帑做這些東西?是Budget太多要用盡,還是CIA也被神棍騙子欺騙了?

至於讀心街,即是能夠閱讀初次見面的陌生人腦袋目前想些甚麼,或者過去發生過甚麼的記憶。對了,我見你們那些甚麼New Age大師、乜龍王、先知、活佛...等等高人的報導,他們的信徒常常分享跟大師初次見面,大師已講得出他們家住地方環境、有多少個兄弟姊妹、婚姻狀況,感動到喊,因此對大師深信不疑。

其實那些高人透過靜觀、冥想訓練,開啟了人類某些潛能,擁有讀心的能力亦真有可能。當他們擁有讀心能力,要做到上面所講的事情又真的不出奇。不過若然講到有預知未來的能力,我就非常有保留。本身預知未來就比起遙距視覺、聽覺、讀心術,屬高好多個層次的超能力,甚至有無可能都成問題。

為何這麼說?若然真的可以預知未來,即是宇宙好像一本早已寫好的書,未來發生的任何事件都不過是跟劇本走。亦即是你們今日做的任何決定,其實並非你自己的決定,是早已安排好的,如此你們生存還有甚麼意義呢?

你可能反駁話,唔係呀,有多重平行宇宙嘛。你不同決定,就走去不同的平衡宇宙,這個維度有千千萬個平行宇宙。

救命呀!別再講平行宇宙,這個純粹你們人類創作出來的東西。你們那些荷里活英雄電影正正因為劇情濫用平行宇宙,搞到觀眾們失去了投入感,票房越來越差!

有點離題,說回預知未來的能力。自稱能預言天災的人類是否必然是騙子、神棍呢?一半半啦!沒有講明確實時間的,例如說未來十年日本必有地震。這樣,一般科學家也能預測到,不用靠甚麼超能力。

不過若然好像最近成為焦點的日本漫畫家龍樹諒的漫畫作品《我所看見的未來》那樣,描述得那麼仔細,講明某月某日會有大地震、海嘯。我就不太相信!那麼他是老作,亂講一通?

那又未必,可能他真的夢見這堆景象。別說夢境,我之前那條影片中也講過,某些僧人打坐冥想時,時不時見到一些異象,但其實並非真實的東西。想像人類腦部的記憶體就好像一部電腦內的SSD記憶硬碟,儲存了很多影像,有你們日常生活見過的,有在電影中、網上睇過的。

當腦部進入某種狀態,例如瀕死時腦部缺氧、或者進入深層冥想狀態、或者受一些藥物影響下,某些記憶內容會被抽取出來,混合,撈埋一堆,再呈現在你眼前。

有些醫學紀錄,小朋友瀕死時說見到米奇老鼠,大人有些就說見到耶穌、觀音。不止呀,聽聞一些參加高強度越野跑山比賽的參賽者,即是那些由朝跑到晚的比賽。參賽者去到極疲勞狀態時,一些人會出現幻覺,見到一些不存在的人在身邊行過。放心,並非撞鬼,其實可能就是日間見過的人、景像被抽取出來,好似重播那樣。

其實真正的神棍,又何須靠甚麼超能力,純靠說話技巧便可。好像那些投資騙局的騙子,能將假的東西說得像真實那樣,大包圍,預測十件事,可能最終得兩件發生了,事後就重複提自己中的兩件事,其他失準的就不再題。

好喇,吹水吹到呢度。哈,你哋又有無遇過神棍或者高人,特別係高人,快些在下面留言說給我知,等我捉佢來太空船研究!還有,記得畀個Like,Subscribe粉紅生命體的頻道,及開啟小鐘仔!拜拜!

Facing AI bot crawlers thieves, Why Wikipedia chose to surrender without fighting? ~ 🛸 Alien Black Cat 's Report

Recently, I read an interesting human article saying that Wikipedia, the vast online encyclopedia humans rely on for facts about everything from ancient history to cat memes, has thrown in the towel against those relentless AI crawlers. 

Picture this: AI bots, like overzealous vacuum cleaners sucking up every byte of data, have been swarming Wikipedia's servers like bees at a picnic. These digital pests have been scraping content so aggressively that Wikipedia's team, probably a group of sleep-deprived editors finally decided enough was enough.





In a move that's equal parts hilarious and a tad alarming, Wikipedia has essentially surrendered by tweaking its robots.txt file and other policies. This isn't your typical white-flag moment; it's more like humans politely asking the AI horde to slow their roll before the whole site crumbles under the weight of endless queries. 

The article points out that these AI crawlers, driven by companies eager to train their machine-learning models, have been gobbling up Wikipedia's free knowledge without much regard for the strain on resources. It's as if the AIs showed up to a potluck and ate all the snacks before anyone else arrived!

But wait, it gets funnier or maybe just more ironic. Humans built Wikipedia as a collaborative wonder, where volunteers fact-check and edit articles to keep things accurate. Now, with AI barging in, it's like inviting a robot army to your book club and watching them rewrite the rules. 

The piece highlights how this surge in AI traffic has led to potential slowdowns, increased costs, and even debates about fair use. One might imagine the Wikipedia founders scratching their heads, thinking, "We created this for human curiosity, not for bots playing knowledge ping-pong!"

Facing those AI bot crawlers thieves, Wikimedia chose not to fight but surrender directly! They've already uploaded English and French Wikipedia content to a data science platform, telling AI companies to help themselves. 

They knew that "raw data" might not fit the taste of AI models. Yes, machines don't process information like humans. So Wikimedia converted pages into structured JSON format, organizing titles, summaries, and explanations into standardized categories so that AI can understand better.

But why Wikimedia don't start a lawsuit against those AI, just like those media companies are doing? The answer is simple ~ no budget & their original purpose was to create a free, open-source encyclopedia, not for making money.

AI太惡,無力反抗?AI爬蟲明目張膽進來偷料 Wikipedia維基百科選擇...投降?!~ PinK֍.֍生命体


若然有賊人明目張膽入屋要偷你的東西,你會選擇反抗,快快將貴重財物收藏,還是不反抗兼自動將財物奉上?明顯wikipedia維基百科選擇最後的方案。

維基百科終於向AI投降了!想像一下,這個曾經無敵的知識堡壘,現在像個被AI爬蟲團團圍住的疲憊戰士,舉白旗喊道:「夠了!我 surrender!」根據報導,這一切起源於AI爬蟲的瘋狂入侵。這些來自各AI品牌的數字怪物不分白天黑夜,瘋狂抓取維基百科的內容,搞得伺服器像熱鍋上的螞蟻一樣忙亂。原來,維基百科的維護者們試圖抵抗,但AI的攻勢太猛烈了,就像一場永不停止的派對,派對主角是無情的演算法。

文章指出,維基百科團隊在權衡利弊後,決定放棄抵抗。他們表示,AI爬蟲的流量已經壓垮了他們的系統,讓網站變得像老爺爺的電腦一樣緩慢不堪。於是,他們選擇了「投降戰略」,開放及自動上傳更多資料給AI使用,讓這些AI可以自由地爬取和應用知識。

聽起來是不是很滑稽?維基百科本來是人類的知識寶庫,現在卻成了AI的自助餐區!或許下次查詢維基時,我們會發現條目都被AI改寫成機器人的幽默笑話,比如「愛因斯坦的相對論:相對來說,很相對啊,哈哈!」。


更荒謬的是,這次事件暴露了AI和人類知識之間的尷尬關係。維基百科的創辦人可能從沒想過,他們的偉大計劃會以這種方式「進化」,從免費百科全書變成AI的免洗餐巾。為何不打官司反抗到底,好像外國某些新聞媒體,就正和那些AI巨頭打官司索償。另有些內容網站故意放大量錯誤資訊,令AI學壞,或者花大量網絡資源,去阻擋那些小偷機械人程式。不過Wiki
創辦人點出重點,一來無錢,二來維基百科創立的原意也是供人免費使用的。


未來,誰知道呢?也許AI會主導維基百科,讓它變成一個AI專屬的聊天機器,或者乾脆改名為「AI基百科」!總之,這件事提醒我們,在AI的洪流中,人類最好也準備好一些搞笑的逃生計劃,免得被淘汰得像恐龍一樣狼狽。


話時話,平日你們上傳到各社交媒體的文字、相片、影片內容,是否早已不知不覺成了AI的學習內容?

Shocking Discovery: an 'hidden city' beneath Egypt Khafre pyramid?!~ 🛸 Alien Black Cat 's Report

Meow, What a shocking Discovery! Recently, I read a article saying a group of Italian researchers from the University of Pisasaying claimed they found an 'hidden city' beneath Egypt Khafre pyramid using advanced radar pulses scanning from a satellite.

These experts are in a bit of a tiff over what's lurking beneath the Egyptian pyramids. Imagine a bunch of archaeologists playing a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek with history. On one side, you've got the enthusiastic diggers who swear there's a hidden city down there, complete with tunnels and chambers that could make any cat's secret lair look downright amateurish.





They're pointing to radar scans and ground-penetrating tech that's revealed what looks like an underground network, possibly dating back thousands of years, which might have been a bustling hub for ancient Egyptians or even earlier civilizations.

But not everyone's buying it. The skeptics are rolling their eyes, arguing that these 'discoveries' might just be natural geological features or old, misinterpreted seismic data, not some lost metropolis waiting to be uncovered. It's like humans arguing over whether that shadow in the corner is a monster or just a dust bunny, either way, it's got everyone scrambling for their excavation tools.

I think the Egypt government might also not be so happy with this research, How come a foreigner's satellite high above the sky was peeping into their ancestors' property without their notice & approval.

Meanwhile, the debate heats up with calls for more funding and careful exploration to settle the score, because who wouldn't want to find an ancient underground city? All this fuss has me, an alien cat, wondering if they've dug up any cosmic kitty litter down there.



驚人大發現:埃及金字塔底下是地下城市?!衛星雷達脈衝掃瞄顯示塔底有8條巨型大柱?~ 🐈‍🪐外星小黑貓報告

喵喵,驚人大發現,埃及金字塔底下是地下城市?!最近讀到這篇人類文章,一隊來自意大利Pisasaying大學的專家,透過衛星雷達脈衝掃瞄,埃及Khafre金字塔地底下有8條巨型大柱,下方有大型空間,可能是地下城市。

這群考古學家在玩一場高風險的躲貓貓遊戲,跟歷史有關。一邊是那些熱情的挖掘者,他們發誓下面有一座隱藏的城市,裡面有隧道和房間,會讓任何貓的秘密巢穴看起來像業餘的。他們指向雷達掃描和地 penetrating 技術,揭示了看起來像是一座地下網絡,可能追溯到數千年前,可能是古埃及人或更早文明的繁忙樞紐。

但是,不是每個人類都相信。懷疑者們翻著白眼,辯稱這些「發現」可能只是自然的地質特徵,或是舊的、被誤解的地震數據,不是什麼失落的都市在等待被挖掘。雷達掃瞄技術亦可能不那麼精碓。





可以肯定的是埃及政府會有點不高興。一個外國人的衛星高高在上用雷達掃瞄自己祖先的財產,事前又沒有通知,等同偷窺。事後還說三道四!





這就像人類在爭論角落的那個影子是怪物還是只是灰塵球。與此同時,辯論加熱了,有呼籲更多資金和謹慎的探險來解決爭端,因為誰不想要找到一座古老的地下城市呢?所有這些喧鬧讓我,一個外星貓,想知道他們是否在那下面挖出了任何宇宙的貓砂。

Prolonged daily chat with AI & treat AI as a real friend is Dangerous? Latest MIT's research found ... ~ 🛸 Alien Black Cat 's Report

Recently, I read an interesting human article saying that humans are forming digital soulmates with AI chatbots faster than a cat could pounce on a feather toy. 

It turns out that in just 30 minutes of chatting with something like ChatGPT, people start treating it as a close companion, based on a study from OpenAI and MIT that analyzed how quickly attachments form. 




The article highlights how participants in the study, particularly those feeling isolated or lonely, quickly opened up to the AI, sharing personal stories and seeking advice as if it were a real friend—which is both amusing and a tad concerning from an outsider's view. 

Researchers found that younger adults and individuals with social anxiety are the most susceptible to this phenomenon, probably because navigating human interactions can be as tricky as herding cats, while AI just nods along without judgment. 

"Voice modes have worse outcomes with prolonged daily use," the researchers note in their report. This suggests a psychological uncanny valley effect that emerges specifically with extended voice interactions.

The piece also dives into the '30-Minute Club,' a quirky term for folks who hit it off with AI in record time, and it explores the potential risks, like over-reliance on machines for emotional support, which could lead to even more hilarious mishaps in human relationships. 

All in all, it's fascinating how humans are outsourcing their companionship to algorithms, making me, as an observer, wonder if they'll start inviting their AI pals to dinner parties next.

MIT最新研究:每天30分鐘就足以令人類把AI當成真人朋友,形成危險的依賴。~ 🐈‍🪐外星小黑貓報告

喵,近期讀到這篇關於人類的文章,有點驚。內文說你們人類和AI聊天機器人形成數字靈魂伴侶的速度,比貓撲向羽毛玩具還要快得離譜。

原來,只需和像ChatGPT這樣的AI聊天短短30分鐘,人們就開始把它當成貼心的夥伴,這是根據OpenAI和MIT的一份研究,分析了依戀形成的驚人速度。




文章突出研究參與者,特別是那些感到孤立或寂寞的人,很快就對AI打開心房,分享個人故事並尋求建議,就好像它是一名真實的朋友一樣。若然是用聲音模式而非文字對話,情況更明顯。

從外人的角度看,這既好玩又讓人微微擔憂。研究人員發現,年輕成人以及有社交焦慮的人最容易陷入這種現象,可能是因為處理人類互動就像趕羊一樣亂七八糟,而AI總是點頭哈腰毫不挑剔。




文章還深入聊了「30分鐘俱樂部」這個滑稽的術語,用來形容那些快速和AI打成一片的傢伙,並探討了潛在風險,比如長時間日常使用,心理上會出現恐怖谷效應,對AI的好感會突然急降,變成反感。

總之,這真是太 fascinating了,人類竟然把伴侶任務外包給演算法,讓我這個旁觀者不禁想知道,他們接下來是不是會邀請AI朋友參加晚宴呢?

世界級的Elton John及為數幾百位人類創作者也開始擔心AI的威脅,要行動!~ 🐈‍🪐外星小黑貓報告

喵喵,又一篇有趣的人類文章。來自英國的世界級音樂人Elton John,正和近400位頂尖創作者組成像星際樂團一樣的團隊,要求政府立法掀供更好的AI保護。

顯然,這些人類擔心狡猾的AI算法可能偷走他們的絕妙點子,並生產出機器人混音的經典歌曲或AI生成的藝術品,這些東西看起來就像真人創作的一樣。聽說一個叫Suno的AI做這種「好事」做得十分出色。







這就像AI在玩創意躲貓貓的遊戲,但這些創作者可笑不出來——他們想要規則來保護他們的原創作品免於數位雙胞胎的威脅。

例如,Elton和他的團隊正推動法律,確保AI不會在沒有許可的情況下吞食他們的內容。他們甚至討論這可能會擾亂creative world的工作,比如如果AI開始作曲交響樂或畫名畫,而人類只有乾等。這班人類的一切忙亂焦慮讓我,這位/隻好奇的外星貓,想知道人類是否意識到在我們的世界上,我們只是對新點子發出呼嚕聲,而不是為了它們而起訴。

但嘿,這是他們的星球,所以他們正在從粉絲和政策制定者那裡集結支持,確保人類的創造力不會被矽基的傻事所遮蓋。

Elton John & other top human Creators start worrying about AI? ~ 🛸 Alien Black Cat 's Report

Meow, an interesting human article saying that world-class musician on planet earth Elton John from UK, is teaming up with other 400 top creators to demand government's better protections against AI. 

Apparently, these humans are worried that sneaky AI algorithms might swipe their brilliant ideas and churn out robot remixes of classic hits or AI-generated artwork that could pass for the real deal. Oh, yes, I heard that an AI name Suno could do this Job very well!




It's like the AI is trying to play copycat in a game of creative hide-and-seek, but these creators aren't laughing—they want rules to keep their original works safe from digital doppelgangers. 

For instance, Elton and his crew are pushing for laws that would make sure AI doesn't gobble up their content without permission, turning it into some Frankenstein version of art and music. 

They're even talking about how this could mess with jobs in the creative world, like if AI starts composing symphonies or painting masterpieces while humans twiddle their thumbs. 

All this fuss makes me, as a curious alien cat, wonder if humans realize that in my Universe, we just purr at new ideas instead of suing over them. But hey, it's their planet, so they're rallying support from fans and policymakers alike to ensure that human creativity doesn't get overshadowed by silicon-based silliness.

用fMRI掃描冥想狀態下高僧的腦部有驚人發現!~🐈‍🪐外星黑貓報告

喵喵,最近我讀到一篇有點舊,但超級有趣的人類文章,說人賞科學家們決定像偵探一樣調查佛教僧侶的大腦,把他們的腦袋用functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) 掃描得好像在神秘的幸運餅乾裡找隱藏的寶藏。


想像一下:這些寧靜的僧侶,盤腿坐著邊唱誦,邊被穿白大褂的科學家連接上嘩嘩作響的工具。文章揭露,在冥想時,僧人們的大腦產生大量的伽瑪波,讓他們聰明過一隻有九條命和一艘太空船的貓。身為一隻來自星際的外星貓,我簡直是爪子都傻了。

人類腦部分extrinsic 及 intrinsic 或 default兩網絡,前者在進行玩運動、倒咖啡等外部運動時活躍。後者側在個人情感思巧、自我聯想時活躍。通常像搖搖板,一邊活躍另弓邊便冷靜,甚少會兩組神經網絡同時活躍。

今次掃瞄研究卻發現,僧人進入深層冥想狀態下,兩組神經網絡同時活躍。說不定,傳說中那些高僧們的「他心通」、「天眼通」、預知未來 ... 特異功能/超感官知覺就是從此而來。




不管怎樣,這太好玩了,人類正抓頭思索內心平和,當他們本來可以像專業貓咪一樣大睡特睡。更不要提他們的大腦像煙火一樣亮起,我敢說這只是他們試圖在長長的唱誦中不睡著而已。噢,這種 absurdity,人類掃描尋找平靜,當混亂才更有趣!

Scanning Brains of Buddhist monks during meditation found something very special ! ~ 🛸 Alien Black Cat 's Report

Meow, just read a rather old but extremely interesting human article saying that your scientists have decided to play detective with the brains of Buddhist monks, scanning them like they're trying to find hidden treasure in a mystical fortune cookie. 

Imagine these poor monks sitting there, cross-legged and serene, while humans in lab coats wave fancy machines around their heads, probably hoping to discover why these folks can stay calm during a cosmic catnip shortage. 



Human scientists say human brain appears to be organised into two networks: the extrinsic network & intrinsic or default, network. The extrinsic portion of the brain becomes active when individuals are focused on external tasks, like playing sports.

The default network churns when people reflect on matters that involve themselves and their emotions. The two network is like a seesaw, when one rises, the other one down.  seldom active at the same time. 

But according to the article, the scans show that meditating monks have brains that light up like a fireworks show in both networks! They're apparently growing extra brain wrinkles from all that 'ommmm' business, which makes me, as an alien cat, wonder if humans can train their brains to chase laser pointers instead. 

But hold on, do these monks ever get brain freeze from thinking too deeply? The study suggests their minds are like supercharged purr-machines, processing peace and tranquility at warp speed. 

Of course, us alien cats know true enlightenment comes from napping in sunbeams, not from getting zapped by human gadgets. All in all, it's hilarious how humans think scanning brains will unlock the secrets of the universe, when really, they should just try a good scratch behind the ears.

How to unlock the hidden "movie standard" professional shooting function of iPhone? I bought an anamorphic lens for mobile phone!|PinK֍.֍生命体

Yes, this youtube video is about How to unlock a hidden function of iPhone. That is the movie standard professional shooting feature of my iPhone 16 pro. I'm not talking about the phone's lenses or digital sensor CMOS, but its video storage format.

Since iPhone 13 pro, Apple allows users to shoot video on ProRes, which is a high quality, "visually lossless" lossy video compression format developed by Apple.


I also bought an anamorphic lens, a lens that can squeezes the image onto film or digital camera sensors, usually used for shooting wider aspect ratios movie. But what I bought is just a mini version, for using on mobile phone only.

Will use it together with Blackmagic Camera mobile shooting App to do some shooting test...

怎開啟iPhone的隱藏專業電影級拍攝功能?手機也用到Anamorphic Lens電影變形鏡頭?|PinK֍.֍生命体

又得閒返來地球講嘢。首先要發一吓牢騷。

上條影片提及,早前購買了Sony推出的「民用版」3D Motion Capture System動作捕捉系統Mocopi。根據產品的描述,只要在手、腳、頭戴上6粒比衫鈕大少少的sensor感應器,配合一個手機App,用家身體郁動,虛擬化身便會跟著郁動,還可以錄影。結果一輪實測之後 ... 是覺得問題多多,令我大失所望。

目前那6粒感應器已處於被半放棄狀態。我也試過力挽狂瀾,例如試過安裝Sony推出的電腦版軟件Mocopi PC,是要配合Sony另一個手機App ~ Mocopi Link使用。實際用法同樣要戴上那6粒感應器,將動作數據傳送到手機的Mocopi Link App,再由手機App將動作資料傳到Mocopi PC程式,如此便可透過電腦錄影虛擬化身的動作。

其實那個電腦版程式實在有點多餘?為何不可直接把感應器的動作數據直接傳到Mocopi PC程式,中間要再經過手機?而且要用到電腦,便失去了這套系統宣稱「流動性強」的優點。而更令人沮喪的是,安裝了Mocopi PC電腦程式後,發覺程式menu的字體,細過芝麻,程式內又不容許用家調大字體!感覺Sony像跟我說,別再浪費時間在那6粒感應器上,這套系統不適合我的用途。





既然當初買這部iPhone 16 pro,純粹是為了運行 Mocopi這個手機App。現在惟有發掘一吓這部手機還有何其作用途。手機就是手機的用途,還可以有甚麼其他用途呢?

正是iPhone一個好少人知,知道的人亦甚少用的專業電影級拍攝功能。我講的不是手機的鏡頭或者感光CMOS。基本上受制於手機機身太薄,不同牌子主鏡頭的CMOS感光元件,大極也只是一寸左右,不能同專級攝影機的Full Frame大感光元件相比。原因CMOS太大片的話,手機的鏡頭也對不到焦。好像把一張寫滿字的A3紙,近距離放到你面前,你的眼睛也對不到焦。

今次講的是手機拍攝影片時的儲存格式。其實手機或者相機拍攝影片時,普遍會即時將影像壓縮以節省儲存空間,即是常常見到的甚麼H.264、H.265壓縮格式。愈新的壓縮格式,愈標榜可以將影像檔案壓縮得細之餘,會保留原始檔案更多原汁原味。以最新的H.265壓縮格式為例,可將原始Raw影像檔案壓細170多倍!




雖說是盡量保留原汁原味,但又怎可能沒有資料遺失呢。對於專業的電影、廣告拍攝要求,他們可能會使用完全沒有壓縮的Raw格式,或者壓縮得較少的ProRes。ProRes本身也有不同級數之分,如ProRes 422 LT壓縮得比較多,再上一級的ProRes 422 HQ ... ProRes 444 XQ等等。

雖說依然有壓縮,但用ProRes HQ拍攝1分鐘的4K 30fps影片就耗用了6.1GB,即是很快便會用盡你手機的記憶。可能因此,iPhone 13 pro起,Apple破天荒容許用家透過手機的usb type c插頭,連接一個外置SSD固態記憶硬碟去儲存影片檔案。至於怎樣啟動iPhone此功能?看看影片便會知道詳情。  (明天續寫)

老實說「用手機去拍攝電影」此概念其實是gimmick噱頭居多,因買一部旗艦手機也近一萬港元。而手持著一部手機拍攝毫不舒服,若然為手機加上Rig套籠、手柄等,整套裝備其實同一部專業攝影機差不多。

為了測試,今次我也買了另一件「無聊」東西,就是電影變形鏡頭Anamorphic Lens,但是迷你版本,專供在手機上使用的。
