Re: I am having issues with my new NX1000. Need help...

Anyway, I've been taking some initial shots indoors, low light, and have had a couple issues that I wasn't expecting after reading the reviews. Firstly, I have a real hard time, almost impossible, to get it to focus at 50mm. The focus assist lamp is lighting, but I cannot lock focus. I have read that the autofocus was very good with this camera in low light so I was kinda surprised. Secondly, the camera is over exposing quite badly (compared to the exposure with the same settings on my NEX, about two stops). I can't figure out if there is a setting somewhere that is causing it. If I set the same exposure manually that my NEX is using, I get a decent picture, but in AP or Auto, it over-exposes.
Any thoughts?
Beside changing the size of the autofocus field, like viking79 mentioned,
You can also try to focus on vertical lines...
...and if there are no vertical lines, just rotate the camera until they get vertical in the display and then focus...
You will be surprised how much faster the camera will focus - especially in low light.

For some strange reason, they optimised the focus system more on vertical lines than horizontal...

What is giving You more highlight headroom is to activate the Smart Range option -
however, the metering of my NX1000 is perfectly right - especially in conjunction with the contrast curve preset of ACDSee Pro 6...
...for some strange reason, the contrast curve preset from the bundled converter and Silkypix Pro 5 and other converters isn't that lucky.
