SCENE MODES 13 preset automatic modes that optimise camera settings for common shooting situations, from Children to Fireworks to Text, for example.

FACE DETECTION The camera recognises that there are faces (up to ten) in the frame and ensures they are correctly focused on and exposed when you press the shutter button halfway down.

MULTI-AREA AUTOFOCUS The camera automatically selects the best part of the scene to focus on.

OIS Optical Image Stabilization helps prevent camera shake and blur when shooting in low light, shadowy or dark places. There are two modes: Active for when pressing the shutter halfway or Always On.

APERTURE The aperture is used to control what in the image appears in sharp focus – also known as depth- of-field (DOF). A small aperture, say f/22, makes things from the front to the back of the picture appear sharp

and detailed – so has a deep DOF

KIT LENS The standard zoom lens that comes boxed with your NX camera.

PRIME LENS Lens that has a single focal length, such as a 20mm ‘Pancake’ or a 30mm ‘Pancake’.
