On Safari - Samsung Digital Camera Pocket Manual

HOLIDAYS & TRAVEL

ON SAFARI

Ensure you come back from your once-in-a-lifetime trip
with images you can hang on your walls at home
Though the 'big five' you hope to photograph
when on safari are generally large, slow-
moving animals, the distances involved can
be incredible. So when a once-in-a-lifetime
photographic opportunity arises in front of
you, say lions on a hunt or baby elephants
playing, you want to be able to ensure you
get superb photos. Long zoom lenses are
a must to fill the frame with distant wildlife;
an accurate autofocus system that can
track moving subjects is really handy too,
plus having a fast picture capture rate that
enables multiple shots to be taken. As it's
likely to be very bright, ensure you attach
your lenshood to avoid light flare spoiling

your pictures.
Did you know that the Face Detection mode will work equally well on
animals as well as humans?
DON'T FORGET: A LONG TELEPHOTO LENS
Using the Samsung NX 50-200mm will help bring distant subjects
closer or zoom in to capture details such as fur patterns, paws or faces.

Ensure you switch on the
Continuous AF for when
trying to capture moving
subjects and keep them
sharp.
