1. Avoid Parking Your EV And Charging Under Direct Sunlight

Direct heat on your EV can lead to component failures and also increase the battery’s thermal temperatures. When temperatures are already soaring and you charge the EV under direct sunlight, it can directly impact the battery and could lead it to overheating. This poses risks such as battery blast or fire accidents. Similarly, parking the EV under direct sunlight can eventually lead to increased cabin temperature which can also fuel fire related accidents.

Use shaded charging stations or areas to keep your EV safe from overheating
Use sunshade accessories while charging or parking at open space
If your EV compatible app as pre-cabin cooling feature use it

Electronics with flammable batteries, aerosols such as deodorants and perfumes, and electric vapes are amongst such items that can blast and pose fire risks when exposed to heat. Ensure you don’t store any of such item in your EV, specifically if it’s being parked in open under direct sunlight.

Charging the batteries smartly and not to full 100 percent will make sure there is no additional load or temperature instabilities. Besides, most of the new-age EVs comes with smart battery management tech where the power cuts-off automatically when the battery is charged 100 percent

ISO Range: Set it between 200- 400 initially. Check the output and increase if required.
Shutter Speed: Should be lower ranging between 1/4 to 1/2 seconds.

Tip 4: Ensure Camera Lens Is Clean

A common mistake that stops us from getting better quality images. While the camera lens might look clean, it could have a fine layer of dust or fingerprint that can easily ruin the image/ video quality. Ensuring camera lens is clean will definitely improve the image quality overall. Only use a soft cloth that too gently to clean the camera lens. Make it a practice every-time before you capture a shot.

Tip 5: Stick To RAW Format For Better Editing

If you can edit photos, then clicking any photo in low-light in RAW format will make it easier to edit later. Overall details retention is higher in the RAW format as compared to JPEG or any other format. Besides, you can later use dedicated editing tools such as Adobe Lightroom, Snapseed, Canva etc., to further refine the quality.

India takes strong action after Kashmir terror attack

Indian fans wake up to find top Pakistani celebs like Hania Aamir and Mahira Khan suddenly vanish from their feeds. When fans in India try to access these profiles, they see a message saying, “Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.” This comes amid ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir on April 22. Here’s everything you need to know.

Pakistani Celebrities Blocked On Instagram In India

Several big names from Pakistan’s entertainment industry are no longer accessible to Indian Instagram users. These include:

Hania Aamir
Mahira Khan
Ali Zafar
Sanam Saeed
Bilal Abbas
Iqra Aziz
Imran Abbas
Sajal Aly

While fans are upset about not being able to follow their favorite stars, it’s important to note that not all Pakistani celebrities are blocked. For example, Fawad Khan and Wahaj Ali’s profiles are still visible to users in India.

16 Pakistani YouTube Channels Also Banned

Instagram is not the only social media platform subject to this ban. Additionally, 16 YouTube channels from Pakistan have been blacklisted by the Indian authorities. These channels were allegedly spreading false narratives and sensitive content targeting Indian security forces and creating communal tension.

Shoaib Akhtar’s YouTube Channel Taken Down

One of the most prominent takedowns was the YouTube channel of former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar, which had over 3.5 million subscribers. His channel was removed as part of this wider crackdown on digital content coming from Pakistan.

Why Is This Happening?

The restrictions come after the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed 26 lives. In response, India has taken a number of aggressive measures to censor sensitive content and false information online, such as banning YouTube channels and social media accounts associated with Pakistan.

What It Means For Indian Users

If you try to search for these Pakistani actors or YouTube channels from India, you’ll likely be met with an “Account not available” message. This is due to a legal compliance request made by the Indian government to restrict content that could potentially incite unrest or misinform the public.
