YASHICA Launches Revolutionary Night Vision Device

YASHICA, an esteemed name in the world of photography with over 75 years of rich legacy, proudly announces the release of the YASHICA Vision: a revolutionary night vision that redefines low-light observation, combining advanced features and superior technology to bring the night to life in stunning 4K UHD full-color detail. 

YASHICA Night Vision comes to redefine nocturnal exploration with its high-tech night vision, featuring an impressive 5x digital and 3x optical zoom. It captures the night in full-color and IR modes, offering clear visibility from up to 600 meters away—an ideal companion for activities like hunting, camping, hiking, or observing wildlife in their natural habitat.“The application of night vision technology on camera aligns with the core value of YASHICA products – providing innovative tools and gadgets to empower users who enjoy photography no matter where or when they are,” says Kondo Hidenobu, the CEO of YASHICA. 

“Nighttime is scary because of the feeling of vulnerability in the unknown and unseen. Our latest product is the game-changer solution to break down the barriers of low-light conditions and deliver values to customers with improved images and videos with clarity and details.”

Boasting advanced 0.0037lux sensitivity, this night vision marvel ensures that even the faintest starlight brings your surroundings into sharp, full-color focus. With its intuitive design and powerful technology, YASHICA Vision pushes boundaries even further, allowing the observation of objects in pitch darkness, such as basements, from 20 to 50 meters away, using only the first level of the IR illuminator—no additional light source is required. 

Key Features include but are not limited to: 

  • Full-Color Night Vision 

YASHICA Vision introduces a full-color night vision mode, departing from the conventional green or monochrome spectrum. This feature enhances your ability to observe the night environment in a more natural and nuanced way, even in challenging lighting conditions. 

  • 4K UHD Image Quality 

Equipped with advanced optics and a superior CMOS sensor, YASHICA Vision offers high-resolution 4K UHD images. This feature allows users to reveal previously unnoticed details in low-light conditions, fostering a deeper connection with the surrounding environment. 

  • Up to 600m View Distance 

YASHICA Vision extends your observational reach with an exceptional view distance of up to 600 meters in complete darkness. This capability enables users to explore and appreciate the nocturnal world with enhanced clarity and detail. 

  • 3x Optical Zoom, 5x Digital Zoom 

Providing versatility in capturing distant subjects, YASHICA Vision features a 3x optical zoom and a 5x digital zoom. This functionality allows for precise framing and observation without compromising image quality, making it a valuable tool for various scenarios. 

  • Long Battery Life 

With a focus on prolonged usage, YASHICA Vision offers up to 16 hours of battery life. This extended duration empowers users to engage in extended nocturnal activities, be it wildlife observation, night exploration, or simply immersing oneself in the tranquility of the night.

 

Ultimate Clarity with F/1.0 Aperture 

The YASHICA Vision stands apart from other night visions with its wider F/1.0 aperture blade and 7-layer coated lenses. Engineered to capture every nuance of the environment, the Vision absorbs more light than any other model in its class, effortlessly illuminating even the darkest scenes. Not only does this mean more details, but it also translates to brighter, sharper visuals that truly bring the night to life. 

Built for Adventure, Crafted for Durability 

Tailored for outdoor enthusiasts, YASHICA Vision boasts a robust construction with IP65 water and dust resistance. The binocular night vision is not merely a device but a reliable companion for extended adventures. Equipped with a compass, SOS/guiding lights, and an expansive 512GB storage capacity, YASHICA Vision is ready to endure the elements and support users in their quest for exploration. This durability ensures that the vision performs seamlessly in challenging environments, providing peace of mind for those embracing the great outdoors. 

A Design Tailored for Convenience 

YASHICA Vision’s handheld structure and user-friendly interface are designed to enhance the spontaneity of adventures. The intuitive design ensures ease of use, allowing users to seize the moment without being hindered by complex controls. The binocular design aligns with the natural viewing experience of the human visual system, offering a comfortable and immersive way to engage with the surroundings.

If you are a Bank Of Ireland customer you may need to change your phone

If you are a Bank Of Ireland customer you might need to upgrade your smartphone to continue to use their digital services, this is because of security reasons and support of older devices which is running older software.

The 31st March is the date given to change your device if you use the app which is not much notice to be honest and for those who like to tamper with their device and use Huawei devices your luck is also out as they will not support either.

BOI says

Device manufacturers regularly update the software and hardware they use. When they do, older operating systems are discontinued, and older software which has become outdated is no longer supported. Apps including ours must stay up to date with updates, so that customers can continue to have access to new and existing features.

 

Devices supported are Android phones and tablets using Android version 11 or higher and iPhones and iPads using iOS version 15 or above so now would be a good time to go and check if you need to update your device

 

Mobile Operating System Support Policy

Update your device before 31 March 2024

31 March is a key date for any customer with an operating system on their device that is older than those mentioned below. After this date we will no longer offer support for these operating systems. Importantly, customers will not be able to download a new instance of the Bank of Ireland mobile app again on that device.

Your device may be running on one of the following affected operating systems:

  • iOS (Apple) devices using operating systems 14 and lower
  • Android devices using operating systems 10 and lower

Why updating is important: If your device is running on one of these older operating systems, and you do not update the device by 31 March, the existing version of the BoI app that you use today may not work. If you delete the app, you will not be able to reinstall it on that device. In other words, your phone or tablet will no longer work for mobile banking. The only fix for this is to update your device before 31 March.

Why is this happening? Device manufacturers regularly update the software and hardware they use. When they do, older operating systems are discontinued, and older software which has become outdated is no longer supported. Apps including ours must stay up to date with updates, so that customers can continue to have access to new and existing features.

Devices and operating systems that we support

We support the following smart devices and operating systems only:

  • Android phones and tablets using Android version 11 or higher
    Available from the Google Play store
  • iPhones and iPads using iOS version 15 or above
    Available from Apple store

Restrictions

  • Windows and Blackberry phones are not supported.
  • The app is not available for download from the Huawei app store.
  • Biometric login using face or fingerprint cannot be enabled on rooted Android or jailbroken iOS devices, in other words devices where any of the manufacturer’s software restrictions have been removed.

UPDATE 28/8/24  Bank Of Ireland have now said they are extending the date till July 1st if you can’t use phone or tablet you can still access via your web browser or PC with a PSK (Physical Security Key)
