Re: Infinity focus issue with NX300 in night shots

I would recommend using MF assist with enlargement set at 8x then set up your display so that you can clearly see at least one star.  To accomplish this try Framing mode, if that doesn't work put it back in regular mode and elevate the iso to an unacceptably high level (along with shutter time at 30s and aperture at it's largest).  This will allow you to focus on a single star directly using Manual focus.  Once you have set the focus put your iso back down and put the other settings where ever you want them to be.

I have gotten some very clean night shots with my NX300 I've even started doing some star trail sets (requires interval shutter controller).
