NX1000 produces too many blurry photos?

Hi MichaelKnight.

I pulled out my NX1000 put it on a tripod to experiment your problem.

What I found was that you set the timer and as soon as you press that shutter it focuses and locks in on the wall or any items it finds in the focus box so when you sit down you wont be in focus.

They only way I could find to get around this is if a group of people select AF Area focus and make the box smaller and move it to the face of one of people in the group closest to the middle and focus on them and then get in the frame or use a remote shutter (I used a NX Camera Remote Switch SR2NX02) then when you press the shutter it will focus on you. Another way is to use a smart phone and download Samsung Smart Camera App then on the camera move the dial tp go and use Wi-Fi and select Remote Viewfinder this way you can use your smart phone as a remote shutter.

As for smart setting I highly recommend not using it and if you do use the flash and still even with that it has a high blur photo rate. I would suggest using S mode on the dial (shutter Priority mode) and selecting the shutter speed and the camera will do the rest its almost like auto but you control the shutter speeds and in my opinion that's a good thing.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks for your answers.

I did some more experiments with the camera at home in last days.My impression is:

Under a bit low light coniditions(for example:my room), if I don't use the flash, many photos taken are blurry.If I use flash, most of the photos are not blurry.I used Smart mode mostly. Also sometimes tried using Manual mode using some different settings of ISO and shutter speed but photos were mostly blurry in my room(a bit low light) without using flash.Maybe there is a magic setting/combination of settings which may cause taking clear pictures(without flash) in my room but I haven't found it yet.

I wrote in a previous post that I sometimes use timer(self-timer) mode and take my own portrait and many of them are blurry(even if I use flash).A few days ago I read an article about that and it explains,when using self-timer mode, when we press the shutter to start timer,at that time it chooses the focus and cause when we are not in the position in front of the camera while pressing, when we take our place in front of the camera after a few seconds, it doesn't focus on us properly because the camera has already chosen it's focus when we first pressed the shutter to start timer.If there are some people in front of the camera while we are pressing the shutter, then when we take our place in the group there is less focus problem if there is any.

There are some advices for taking your own portraits using self-timer, like using manual focus and like putting a chair in front of the camera and make the camera focus on the chair while we are pressing the shutter, and then remove the chair from it's position and put yourself at the chair's previous position which was focussed by the camera.I find it a bit difficult but I will try them in the next days.
