Stay Focused

More specifically, keep your focus on the details you’d like to capture. Like that
mouthwatering treat on your plate. Or that breathtaking scenery in a new exotic land.
The perfect selfie? Just focus on your face and that big, beautiful smile. All amazingly
easy with Samsung’s advanced camera focus features.
Choose the Right Lens
The right lens can make all the right difference. Which is why the NX series lets you interchange
your lenses effortlessly to suit your subject.
For Selfies:
Ultra-Wide Pancake Lens (16mm)
Focus in a fraction of a second
or Ultra-Wide Prime Lens (9mm)
You’re always prepared for that spontaneous
photo opportunity, thanks to a Hybrid Auto
Focus System that detects your focal point
in a heartbeat. By combining Phase Detection
and Contrast Detection, it lets you capture
razor-sharp photos of precious, fleeting
moments like a dynamic jump shot or a quick
peck on the cheek.
You don’t need extremely long arms or a monopod
to fit more into your selfie. Capture more of the
beautiful background scenery with Ultra-Wide
Pancake Lens (16mm). Or pack more people into
your wefie with the even wider Prime Lens (9mm)
on the NX mini.
For Food Shots:
Macro Lens (60mm)
Perfect for shooting brighter photos, even
in indoor settings with less light. Hungry for
a delicious shot of your macarons? Use the
lens to zero in on the food while outfocusing
the background. And capture it in all its rich,
scrumptious glory.
Rich images,
even in low light
The NX series’ APS-C CMOS Sensors deliver
rich images in stunning detail, even in low
light conditions. Pros will appreciate the
high-resolution results while everyone,
including you, will get to relive their favourite
moments in vivid, true-to-life colours.

For Travel Photography:
Standard Pancake Lens (30mm)
Make sure you have this bright lens (f2.0) with you
when visiting cities that never sleep. Its large aperture
is just what you need for that dazzling night shot of
New York’s Times Square or Tokyo’s Shinjuku. This
lens is also great for shooting portraits as its shallow
depth of field keeps your subject in focus while giving
the background a dreamy, out-of-focus look.

Flip and Find Your Best Angles
Flip to 30° for Glorious Food Shots
Food
Taking the perfect picture has never been
easier with the NX series’ flip-up display. It
gives you amazing degrees of freedom when
finding the right angles for the best shots.
At this angle, you’ll be able to direct your camera at your
food while framing your shot from a comfortable position.
Renowned food blogger,
Miss Tam Chiak, gives
us her tips for capturing
that gastronomical shot.
Aim directly in front of the face for the most
natural look.

Or above the face for a slimmer profile.
1 Use of space
Negative space is the available, empty space
around your subject (in this case, food). Try
to use the negative space creatively to evoke
emotion and draw focus to the dish.
2 Get close or not?
Using a Macro Lens can be helpful when
you just want to focus on a single ingredient,
for example the single raspberry on a cake.
Frame your shot tightly to capture that detail
but be careful not to lose the context of the
photograph by getting too close.
Avoid the double-chin look – never angle
your camera from below the face.

3 See the light
When it comes to light, stick to anything that
is daylight balanced, eg sunlight or strobes.
I like to use backlight as it adds texture and
depth to an image and brightens certain food
like mint leaves. Do not ever use harsh front
lighting such as the on-camera flash which
makes the photograph look flat.

Selfies
Round Face Shapes
Angle your chin slightly lower and open your
eyes widely to get a cuter look. For a sharper
look, tilt your face at a 15° angle.
Oval Face Shapes
Aim from above at a 15° angle. To soften
your facial edges even more, try wrapping
your chin or resting it on a hand.
Travel
Capture your adventures beautifully from different perspectives.
For instance, make great architecture look
even greater by pointing your camera
upwards at a building or structure.
For a vast, wider view of a parade or scenery,
seek a higher vantage point, like a rooftop or
hilltop, and aim your camera downwards.

Use the Right Smart Mode

The Samsung NX series lets you adjust the optimal colour temperature according to the
change in your light source via its Smart mode settings. Which means you’ll be able to create
stunning images even in tricky lighting – just like the pros! Simply select the right mode for all
the right results.
Selfies
Switch to Beauty Face mode for that
photogenic selfie.
Wink Shot mode captures your selfie
automatically in seconds. All you have
to do? Just smile, and wink at the camera!
The camera takes 3 consecutive shots after
2 seconds so you can choose the best one.
Capture a Little Fun
Selfie Photos
To make your photos
even more memorable,
inject a little spice into
your shots. Like dressing up in your
most outrageous clothes when
hanging out with your friends. Or
jazzing up your selfies with fun props
like wigs and brightly coloured fabrics.
Better yet, get creative with your
poses on your travels – like holding
the Eiffel Tower in your hand, or
holding up the Leaning Tower of
Pisa. It’s easy with the NFC-enabled
Remote Viewfinder*, which lets
you control your camera settings –
from shutter speed to exposure and more – wirelessly from your NFC-enabled
smartphone. So you leave your camera in its position, leaving you free to have
fun with your shots!
