Re: Newbie saying hello

Congratulations on buying the NX3000 - it's a lovely little camera, one that I'm really fond of!

You might like to join Flickr, where there's an NX3000 group. And whilst the members aren't very active, many of the photos posted are inspiring.... plus there are a few from Norwich!

Lots of them show the various settings that the camera used, which may be helpful - although personally I tend to stick with "P" mode, with AutoISO and AutoWB, unless and until the conditions really call for intervention!

If you've not done so, turning on the "Level Gauge" might be an idea?

One of the handy things about this model is that it uses the same battery that Samsung put in some of their mobile phones, so getting a spare, and a separate charger, isn't too expensive. Look for "Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom Extra Battery Kit EB-K740AEWEGWW" on Amazon UK for the one I bought, £12.99 at present!

I've found the LCE website a good source of second-hand equipment..

... and have bought several Samsung lenses, and a second body, from them with no problems!

Sure you'll have loads of fun, and will get some great results...

PS Just out of interest at this stage, did you camera package also include a disk for Lightroom 5 ?
