FAMILY & FRIENDSTHE POCKET GUIDE TO THE SAMSUNG NX
45
DON’T FORGET: 20MM OR 30MM F/2 ‘PANCAKE’ LENSES
The 20 & 30mm are perfect for portraits due to their stunning optical
performance and soft, defocused backgrounds at the f/2 aperture.
Pictures showing friends and family in natural
settings have become very fashionable,
particularly as many are shot in the comfort
of a person’s home and take on a relaxed
and more natural feel. Cloudy, bright daylight
(not bright sunshine – too much contrast)
from large picture windows, French doors or
conservatories give a softer feel to the images.
Shooting this style couldn’t be simpler: in
the NX’s dedicated Portrait Scene mode all
you need to do is ind a comfortable, relaxed
pose, perhaps even use a prop such as a cup,
newspaper or a pet, and start shooting, always
using the eyes as the point of focus.
Shoot lifestyle pictures of friends and family in the
comfort of their own home in natural light
AT HOME
For lovely black & white
images, select the Classic
Picture Wizard mode.
To even up the light falling across a face ask someone to hold a bright
white towel on the opposite side of the face to relect some light back.
