JANUARY 2021 PCWorld 67This is an outstanding interior capture, or it would have been if I hadn’t mounted
the camera so close to the rearview mirror. Note that said mirror is tilted as far up
as possible. Placement of the T3 can be a bit of an issue in a small car like mine.We still had smoke in the sky the day this image was captured. Ignore the

amount of
compression
being used,
though optics can

cameras. As you can

but seemed to lose more fine detail than the
daytime captures.
Rear night captures showed decent
detail as well. One is illuminated by my car’s
