NX10 Guide Book

Taking advantage of a lull in new product announcements for Samsung NX line, id like to share a very lovely book that came with the NX10 package i purchased years ago.

The author of this book, Yonghwan Lee, is a professor teaching photography and new media at Chung-Ang university in South Korea & also President of the Society of Korean Photography. In it, he took the NX10 through its paces and there are many fundamentally sound shots.

I was very impressed, not only by the book contents, I felt Samsung's approach to photography were of the purest and highest intentions. The NX10 was designed to be a very serious photography tool despite its mid-level pricing.

I will try to make some time and share some scans for you all later on.

Nice book. It is a pity they did not make it available as pdf download.

The instructions Samsung supplies with the cameras are very well made imho, always providing some basics about photography.

Interesting.

Another interesting NX publication to look at, if you get the chance, is the sales book for the NX camera line - it has some information on who should choose what, the key features of each model, what each lens is good for, and so on. Surprisingly well presented and thought out. I found one lying next to the NX cameras in an electronics shop in an airport once. I thought I had some photos from my phone but I can't seem to find them now...

Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot! Very interesting!!

They left out very few things, mainly pressing the ok button to activate focus peaking with manual lenses on later cameras is something that I think is not in the manual.

Warning: off topic lack of long lens whining ahead.

The 18-55 is actually quite a fast focusing lens to get a bird shot like that, I wish the 50-200 was as fast, of course there is the 18-200 but I think many are put off of that lens by the combination of the higher price and that many say it is less sharp at 200 than the 50-200. It has other advantages, but the lower sharpness is a hard pill to swallow for bird photography, less of an issue for HD video though. There is also now the 50-150, but then we must give up reach, still not ideal for birders.
