Got my new NX30 : first question

Hi !

I received my new NX30 yesterday. Haven't had time to use it that much yet, but have noticed a few things.

It is way faster than my NX1000, that's for sure, but some elements bother me a bit in the menus :

I used to get to the picture assitant (where you can change settings to shoot B&W for example) via the FN button which has almost all options available on the NX1000. With the NX30 I can only access it via the main menu. In the manual, they state that it is available via the FN button but it is not. I will have to create a personal mode for B&W....not really handy.

Shame the electronic shutter is not available when using manual focusing (so not available when using legacy lenses) !

Other than that, it is nice to use. I thought the focus peaking feature would be more useful. In fact, for the moment, I don't find it really good when using my Samyang 85/1.4 at full aperture, for example. I have been so used to using the LCD with 8x magnified view on my NX1000 that I don't feel I get sharper results for the moment.

I need to go out with it and use it for real to make my mind.

But, the form factor is definitely better than my NX1000.

Cheers.
Jay
