Re: Nx300- how to improve low light performance?

The 30mm will probably be a better focal range indoors than 45mm. Granted I don't own the 45 but you can set your kit lens to that focal length to test it out. The 30mm has made my indoor shots much better. Learning the shortcut to adjust white balance has helped as well. Also make sure to use the af/mf hybrid feature.

Try to focus on something with high contrast to have your camera focus faster. Use high focus peaking. While pressing shutter halfway twist the manual focus ring. Take it off zoom mode. Increase your iso indoor. Get proper white balance. Kids will be tough to catch still indoors. 30 is great. Just a tad slow but is the overall prime lens of preference on this forum due to form factor, iq, and focal length. Soon i hope to get a 45mm as well. A fast prime will help your indoor shots.
