Advices regarding AF

Hi there,

I'm lucky to have the NX1 (V1.4) and prime lenses (16-50 and 50-150mm with latest firmware) and I'd like to have your advices regarding the AF settings for different situations as unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity / time to test all the different options + I'm kind of a newbie !

First case is to shoot a mountain biker.

Are these settings ok :

- AF Mode : Continuous AF

- AF Area : Multi AF

- Touch AF : off

- AF release priority : Focus

Second "Classic" case is to shoot my kids, and more especially their face, probably in low light.

Are these settings fine :

- AF Mode : Active AF

- AF Area : Face Detection AF

- Touch AF : off

- AF release priority : Focus

Would you recommend something different for the burst mode ?  I read a DPreview article on the NX500 which seems to struggle in some situations to follow a subject in Burst mode when coming back to the front. Is there the same issue with the NX1.

If someone has as well some experience on the NX500, I take it as well as I have the same questions for this body.

Many thxs for your help, and sorry if it sounds like beginner questions...

Cheers !!!
