Camera Menus
 |
The NX10's menu system is attractive and easy to master, but it that's partly because there's relatively little in it. The 7 pages of options - once you've removed those that duplicate functions already covered by the external controls and Func menu - offer little in the way of customization compared to competitor models and would, we suspect, prove frustratingly sparse for more advanced users. We're all for making a camera easy to use, but that doesn't need to come at the expense of flexibility and functionality. |
Record menu
The record menu is split into three pages, and essentially just brings together the various shooting options and controls offered by the direct control buttons and the Function menu.
