Easy to use NX10 - How familiar are you with the hot keys of NX10?

Here is an explanation of using hot keys for Samsung NX10 camera.

If you purchase a camera that is totally different from the existing one, what is the first thing you do? For example, you had been using a compact camera, but now you bought a interchangeable lens camera. Needless to say, you will need to learn the key features of the camera and how to use them. I am reminded of an expert who advised to read the manual back to back three times if you wanted to create a nice work – a really practical advice for a novice like me. I wonder if you’ve read over the manual three times?

As a starter, let me share with you how to do white balancing with NX10. It’s simple!


WB_01 White balance

.

WB)01


Custom set > Apply ‘Fn’ button for adjust WB



.

This is original way to adjust the WB.


NX10 comes with a one-touch dial on its body to manipulate WB/ISO, saving us the burden of having to go into the menu to adjust the white balance. If you go into User Setting 1 under Menu, the screen will show button setting function as below. Change the “Depth-of-field preview button” to one-touch white balance.


*Direction: Menu>User setting>key mapping> apply one-touch white balance


WB_03 User setting > Key mapping

.

WB_04


Preview > one touch WB

.

WB_05


Apply the one touch WB

.

WB_06_1


Press the circle button at shooting mode, and then the shutter. That’s it! Isn’t it simple?


WB_07press the shutter to measure WB.

You no longer have to go through a complicated process to adjust WB! With one touch, you can quickly capture the color of the object. In the next posting, I will go over how to adjust depth-of-field using 30mm lens. Until then, bye bye!
