Re: NX500 - Disappointed by AF performance

this is strange

a proper working NX camera from any generation - be it nx10, nx11, nx20, nx30, nx3000 shouldnt have difficulty with such a scene (yes i own all of the cameras i listed here)

theres a small chance your cam is faulty perhaps, but also cld be the setting of the AF

/edit, assume camera is working properly pls trythis:

- AF area set to zone instead of multi. use the centre box, if need be, half press centre on birthday gal before recomposing. u can try playing ariund wif the size of the box too

- metering, set to center weighted avg instead of multi or spot

- the 30 pancake well known for less than fantastic AF in lowlight compared to standard zooms, but shodnt be that bad in this scene

/edit2

cont AF was never fantastic, very hit n miss, even wif nx1 flagship n S lenses.

old skool fotography fundamentals always brings in cheese end of day

im constsntly studying how fotogs got the job done since leica rangefinder
