IFUNCTION Press the i-Fn button
on an i-Function lens for quick access
to commonly used settings for the
mode you are in, making selections
via the focusing ring. You can view
via the rear display or the electronic
viewinder (EVF).
MULTIAREA AF The NX
automatically selects the best place
to focus on in the scene with green
boxes in the rear display or EVF to
show where focus is set.
SHUTTERPRIORITY MODE This
is a creative automatic mode that is
used when you want more control
over action subjects. Use a high
shutter speed, such as 1/500sec, to
capture moving subjects or a slower
shutter speed, say 1/30sec, to induce
movement blur and give a sense of
speed. The rest of the settings are
automatic.
LIGHT TRAILS Using a slow shutter
speed and placing the camera on
a solid surface or a tripod, you can
create trails or lines of light that look
very atmospheric and dramatic.
SOUND PICTURE MODE After
you’ve taken a normal still image, a
seven second sound clip is recorded
alongside as a form of voice memo
or ambience recording.
SELFPORTRAIT AF Turning the
camera around to shoot a self-
portrait makes it tricky to check
accurate focus. This focusing mode is
automatically set for close-up (arm’s
length) and when in focus you hear
fast beeps and can take a picture.
UNDEREXPOSURE Camera meters
work by measuring relected light.
With snow and beach scenes, both
relect more light than normal so
the camera thinks it needs to reduce
the exposure time and therefore
underexposes the scene, making it
look too dark. This mode takes this
into account and corrects exposures
accordingly.
TELEPHOTO ZOOM Your standard
kit lens that comes with the NX will
be a wide-angle, say from 2050mm
or from 1855mm. A telephoto zoom
lens has a greater magniication,
say from 50200mm, and can zoom
in and ill the picture with objects at
a distance.
