Shooting Functions

Quality

The camera saves photos in either the JPEG or RAW format.

Photos captured by a camera are often transformed to the JPEG format and stored in the memory according to the settings of the camera at the time of shooting. RAW ﬁles are not transformed to the JPEG format and are stored in the memory without any changes.

RAW ﬁles have the ﬁle extension “SRW”. To adjust and calibrate exposures, white balances, tones, contrasts, and colors of the RAW ﬁles, or to convert them into JPEG or TIFF format, use the Samsung RAW Converter program found on the supplied CD-ROM. Ensure you have enough available memory to save photos in the RAW format.

This compact system camera combined versatility with advanced technology, appealing to both amateur and professional photographers alike.

One of the main features of the NX100 is its 14.6-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, which delivers stunning image quality and excellent low-light performance.

Furthermore, the camera supports continuous shooting at 3 frames per second, enabling users to capture action sequences with ease.

Another notable characteristic of the NX100 is its 3-inch AMOLED display, which offers vibrant colors and excellent viewing angles. This display is crucial for composing shots and reviewing images in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, the camera includes manual control options, giving experienced photographers the flexibility to adjust settings such as shutter speed and aperture, while also providing automatic modes for those looking for ease of use.

The camera's integrated Smart Filter effects allow for creative expression directly in-camera, offering options like Soft Focus, Vignette, and Miniature effects. These filters enhance the creative potential and make experimentation more accessible for users.

Enhanced connectivity is also a key feature, as the NX100 includes Samsung's i-Function technology, allowing users to adjust settings directly from the lens using designated buttons for a seamless shooting experience.
