Sadly, like Fn Switch, it's not been updated to reflect the camera's newer capabilities. So there's no way of accessing or selecting the camera's Subject Detection modes, for instance. And, if you've switched on Subject Detection in the menus, the Face/Eye detection option in the SCP simply doesn't work when you try to click on it. The camera's computational modes, which help set it apart, are also not accessible from the Super Control Panel, which feels like a significant missed opportunity.
The TMOG contains a depiction of the mark, the identification of goods and/or services, and owner information for: (1) marks published for opposition that are expected to register on the Principal Register; (2) marks registered on the Principal Register under 15 U.S.C. 1051(d) on the date of the particular TMOG issue in which the marks appear; (3) marks registered on the Supplemental Register on the date of the particular TMOG issue in which the marks appear; and (4) updated registration certificates. The TMOG also contains a list, by International Class, of the registrations issued on the Principal Register on the date of the particular TMOG issue and an index of registrants appearing in that issue.

The Trabant P50 was introduced in Communist East Germany in 1957, followed shortly afterward by the updated 601 in 1963. Because of its outdated and inefficient two-stroke engine (which produced poor fuel economy, low power output, and thick, smoky exhaust fumes), duroplast body, and production shortages, the Trabant was regarded with derisive affection as a symbol of the economic downturn of East Germany and of the fall of the Eastern Bloc. Many East Germans streamed into West Berlin and West Germany in their Trabants after the opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989. However, the end of the GDR also meant the end of the Trabant as it wasn't competitive anymore against its new, much more sophisticated West German, French, and Japanese competitors that quickly conquered the East German and Eastern European markets following the fall of the wall and the end of the Eastern Bloc. VEB Sachsenring, the manufacturer, tried to respond with an updated Trabant, the Trabant 1.1, that was first shown in 1989 and featured a new four-stroke engine by Volkswagen, but this proved too little too late to save the outdated car, and production of the new version lasted only about two years. Time magazine named the Trabant one of the 50 worst cars of all time, and it was included in Automotive Atrocities! The Cars We Love to Hate with author Eric Peters describing its two-stroke, 18 horsepower engine as "Notorious for producing a billowing contrail of smoke, while its unsynchronized manual transmission required at least a fifth of Stolichnaya to deal with effectively."[25] Automotive journalist Dan Neil said the Trabant was the car "that gave communism a bad name" and was "a hollow lie of a car constructed of recycled worthlessness."[20] He also noted that after East Germans drove their Trabants to freedom in West Germany, they immediately abandoned them.[20] Edmunds.com ranked the Trabant as the 9th worst car of all time, claiming it is "one more reason why Communism is evil."[22] In his book "Crap Cars", Richard Porter ranked it the 9th worst car ever and said: "Before the old borders were broken down, us in the West thought we knew how harsh life was behind the Iron Curtain. Then we saw the Trabant. Oh, the humanity."[26] It was the butt of jokes in East Germany. After the end of the GDR, these jokes quickly spread to West Germany as well and also became a pop culture phenomenon when comedy films like Go Trabi Go and Trabbi Goes to Hollywood featured Trabants as important plot devices. However, despite, and partly even because of its poor image, the Trabant has gained a strong cult following in the whole of reunified Germany, with many collectors clubs across the country maintaining them. Today it is considered a recognizable nostalgic symbol of the bygone world of the GDR that, together with other products considered typical for East Germany, regained popularity since the reunification due to "Ostalgie", a German term referring to nostalgia for aspects of life in East Germany.
Despite being released with high hopes and getting much positive media attention at the time of its launch, the Hillman Imp was a commercial failure that was largely responsible for its parent group, the Rootes Group, getting into financial difficulties and being taken over by Chrysler to become part of Chrysler Europe in 1967. Designed as a small economy car that was to compete mainly with BMC's hugely popular Mini, it was, at first, hailed for its modern design, good road handling, and innovations like a motor block made completely of aluminum and an opening rear window that, together with a folding backseat, allowed for decent luggage space. However, it was criticized for having a rear engine, rear-wheel-drive layout while the Mini had paved the way for front engine, front-wheel drive small cars. But the main problem that soon damaged its reputation was poor quality control at the new, purpose-built Linwood plant, and an underdeveloped design that was rushed into production within three years of planning. Quality issues included the frequent failure of gearboxes and water pumps, poor engine cooling that often resulted in motors overheating, and generally poor production quality and panel fit. As a result, the Imp never sold as well as the Rootes Group had expected, and never even came close to the sales of the Mini. The car was largely responsible for financial losses that almost bankrupted the Rootes Group, leading to a takeover by Chrysler. The Imp was featured in the books "The Worst Cars Ever Sold" by Giles Chapman[10] and "Naff Motors: 101 Automotive Lemons" by Tony Davis.[11] It was named among "The Five Worst English Cars of All Time" in a 2012 article on askaprice.com[36] and ranked the 5th worst British car in a 2008 survey of 4,000 motorists by internet magazine iMotormag.[37] Hotcars.com ranked it #3 in its list of the 20 worst European cars of all time,[38] and the Oxford Mail included it in its "The worst car evah!" series.[39] Despite this, it remained in production until 1976, replaced a year later by a new hatchback model, the Chrysler Sunbeam.
The Reliant Robin is a three-wheeled small car. It is the perhaps best-known and most infamous product of the British three-wheeled car industry that was very successful from the 1950s until the 1980s; mainly due to British tax loopholes that allowed three-wheeled cars to be taxed as motorcycles and be driven with a motorcycle license. The Robin enjoyed sales success throughout its lifetime and has a special place in British culture. Its name was so popular that its 1982 successor, the Reliant Rialto, was renamed Robin again in 1989, thus making the Robin name live on for another thirteen years and even making it see the new millennium until production finally came to a halt in 2002. But despite its success, it has also become the butt of many jokes due to its three-wheeled nature, fiberglass bodyshell, and primitive, old-fashioned technique and is often cited among the worst cars ever made. It is sometimes affectionately nicknamed the "Plastic Pig" because of its distinctive shape and fiberglass body shell. It was also part of a famous episode of Top Gear (series 15, episode 1), in which Jeremy Clarkson drives a Reliant Robin and makes it roll over multiple times. He described driving it as dangerous as "inviting your mum 'round for an evening on chatroulette", and that the Robin "wasn't funny, it was a complete menace." The following two episodes featured racing driver The Stig and Ken Block on their test track in Robins, and neither of them could finish a clean lap in the specially doctored Robin. Later on, Clarkson admitted that the Robin used in the show had the differential modified to allow it to roll over easily. He also admitted that he actually likes the Robin.[62] The Robin was featured in the books The Worst Cars Ever Sold by Giles Chapman[10] and Crap Cars by Richard Porter.[26] It was voted the 8th worst car ever in an Auto Express poll, with the article saying "The butt of countless jokes, the Reliant Robin was missing more than a wheel and will be remember [sic] as one of the worst cars ever".[63] In a 2013 poll, it was voted the worst British car of all time.[64] Edmunds.com ranked it the 13th worst car of all time, stating "Ludicrously unstable three-wheeler that turns turtle on its plastic body at the slightest provocation. Fortunately, with a 750cc engine, it was underpowered, too."[22] CarThrottle ranked it number two on its list of "10 Of The Worst Cars Ever Made In The UK".[53]
The General Motors U Platform minivan, sold as the Chevrolet Lumina APV, Pontiac Trans Sport, and Oldsmobile Silhouette, was introduced in the 1990 model year to provide a stylish alternative to the Dodge Caravan. However, it was strongly criticized for its awkward driving position and strange styling. Many publications nicknamed the vans "Dustbusters" due to their resemblance to a popular handheld vacuum cleaner of the same name. In Crap Cars, Richard Porter describes the van as "an enormous Dustbuster with detailing work by a group of lightly trained monkeys."[26] CNBC included the Trans Sport on its list of the "10 Ugliest Cars of All Time." The Truth About Cars offshoot site Curbside Classic named the Lumina APV as one of the "deadly sins" that led to GM's downfall. "There are two primary reasons GM vehicles have failed. They either arrived with deadly flaws in their quality/reliability, like the Vega, Citation and quite a few other models. Or they were conceived in GM's notorious bubble of hubris, where its product planners and designers were seemingly perpetually stuck in a Jetsons-Futurama mind set, convinced that they could wow Americans with more advanced design and technology. What Americans really want is a minivan that looks like a space shuttle! Not. The most obvious feature of these vans are their extremely long noses, the huge low-slope windshield, and the set-back front seats. The combination of the three created a very distinctive visual effect from the outside that caused them almost instantly to be dubbed 'Dustbusters'. The effect from the front seats was also disconcerting, as there was a ledge in front of the dashboard that seemed to go on for eternity, creating the feeling of sitting in the second row of more typical minivan. It would have made a nice platform for a bed if these were autonomous."[128] Edmunds.com, describing the van as "stupid-looking", ranked it the 86th worst car of all time.[22] The van was parodied in a 1997 episode of US TV series The Simpsons and in the 1995 film Get Shorty. The Trans Sport proved popular in Europe, particularly France, as its styling and layout was similar to the contemporary Renault Espace.[128]
