EVF (ELECTRONIC VIEWFINDER) This is an optional accessory for some NX models that attaches

to the Smart Shoe giving you the choice to compose on the display or the EVF. You’d use this when you can’t see the display clearly in very bright sunshine or to save on battery power.

IMAGE SENSOR This is the part of

30the camera that turns light into an image. The sensor sits behind the lens and is a grid of tiny photocells, 14.6 million to be precise. The image sensor in NX cameras is the same size as in most digital SLR cameras so produces excellent quality images.

COLOUR CAST Every light source we encounter, whether natural or man made, emits a coloured hue that the human brain, and the NX’s auto white balance function, automatically counterbalances. These casts are managed and corrected via the white balance function (see page 22) on digital cameras.

NOISE/GRAIN As the ISO number increases, from 100 to 6400, image quality decreases and ‘distortion’ appears in the picture as something called image ‘noise’ – an increase in coloured dots or what looks like ‘grain’ into the image that can mainly be seen in shadow areas. It can be used for creative effect or removed by the camera with High ISO Noise Reduction software that’s built-in, found via the Menu.

CAMERA SHAKE AND OIS In low light shooting situations it is possible to get blurry images from something called camera shake. It’s caused when the shutter stays open longer to allow enough light in to expose the image correctly. To help prevent this, NX cameras have something called an Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), an automatic feature built into the lenses to help counteract tiny movements when handholding.
