Re: NX500 - Disappointed by AF performance

I don't have the 30 so I can't help much. Nor am I an expert. But I'll try to help.

If you don't care about the backdrop would focus point metering work? Another change that could be made is center point focus. Just center the camera on what you wish to focus on, lock the focus and adjust the scene before fully clicky.

I never liked the camera having control over the shutter speed or the aperture. I find things so easy to change on the fly that I leave it off.

The 45 does an awesome job with auto focus but even it isn't perfect. For fast shooting I like to stop down, raise the ios and go fully manual. This is where I'm most at easy. Only reason why I even use AF from to time is so I could get use to using it. But fully manual is less headache and more fun for me. If speed isn't super important I don't have to stop down as much since I have an extra second to adjust focus.

Thinking my next lens will be a fully manual. I think it would be even easier to use when I can turn the camera on and adjust the focus to the number and not look and see when it is right.

Speaking of focus and lenses. Maybe it is just me but it feels like the 10mm has an easy time pulling everything into focus and I mean like everything. My only challenge is making sure all lines are straight so it is easier to fix the distortion later.
