Re: NX300 Focusing Questions

The trick with mirrorless cameras is to focus on a high contrast point, light levels don't matter too much.  They can focus in very low light as long as there is a bright point in the image like a reflection off an eye.

These 3 shots are the same shot.  The first is the cameras exposure, the 2nd is my modified exposure, and the 3rd is a tight crop of the eye.

The 45mm f/1.8 focused without any issue on the horses eye, it focused very quickly.
