Autofocus - Samsung Digital Camera Pocket Manual

THE NX SYSTEM

AUTOFOCUS

From static portraits to the fastest action, there is a
focusing mode that's perfect for every situation
The NX series has four different types of
focus mode for different shooting situations.
Single AF mode is ideal for static subjects,
such as a portrait or landscape. There is also
a Continuous AF mode that, once locked on,
tracks the subject as it moves around and
is ideal for action subjects such as kids in a
playground or cycling. Third is a Self-Portrait
AF for turning the camera on yourself. And
last is a Manual mode where you can focus
the lens yourself, for example, a night scene
or for a subject that's the same colour or
tone as its background. In Manual mode the
scene is magnified in the display to help with
focus accuracy.

Always try and focus on a part of the image that has some texture,
lines or shapes to help the focusing be more accurate.
DON'T FORGET: FOUR FOCUSING OPTIONS
In any shooting mode press the 'Fn' button and scroll to AF area; you
can select from one of four different autofocus (AF) modes.
