About the Samsung NX10

Dave Bar
The Samsung NX10 is simple to use, but no one who sees the results framed in your living room will ever guess. This camera is smaller and lighter than a traditional SLR, so you'll be able to take it everywhere. But it has a large image sensor like an SLR, so your pictures will be sharp and full of detail.

The Samsung NX10 is simple to use, but no one who sees the results framed in your living room will ever guess. This camera is smaller and lighter than a traditional SLR, so you'll be able to take it everywhere. But it has a large image sensor like an SLR, so your pictures will be sharp and full of detail.

Beautiful photos made easy
The camera can sense when your subject has her eyes open or a smile on her lips, so you'll get perfect portraits every time. With its high-speed autofocus and image-stabilized lens, moving subjects and low-light situations just become another opportunity to show off your camera's great performance. And its interface is easy to navigate, so you'll be snapping photos and shooting HD video right away.

"Hands-on" shooting, plus an advanced display
A full range of manual exposure adjustments give you full creative control of your images. You can also switch out lenses to add more creative shooting options or get even closer to the action. Plus, this cam's advanced 3" display is a step up from a regular LCD. Its response time is much faster, and images remain crisp and clean, even when viewed from an angle or in bright sunlight.

From the review It's a digital camera, it's a digital SLR, it's...the Samsung NX10 hybrid digital cameraa
"I loved the quality of the photos that I took with this camera. They turned out stunning and took relatively little effort. The more advanced controls were easy to understand, so experimenting was actually very fun.. If you're tired of your point-and-shoot and ready to take your photography to the next level, then the Samsung NX10 hybrid digital camera is a good place to start."

Record Features

Overview: The Samsung NX10 digital camera gives you all of the convenience of a lightweight point-and-shoot camera with the performance and quality of a DSLR. The NX10 comes with an 18-55mm lens, with optional 30mm and 50-200mm lenses available. Because it was designed without a mirror box, the NX10 is compact and lightweight. You can shoot up to 14MP still images, as well as HD video.

3" AMOLED Monitor: The NX10 features a 3.0" color AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display with VGA resolution and 614,000 pixels. The AMOLED monitor gives you a clear view of your subject and recorded images, even in bright sunlight. The display has a 1000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and a response rate that is 3000 times faster than an LCD. The monitor has a field of view of approximately 100%.

Electronic Viewfinder (EVF): In addition to the 3.0" AMOLED monitor, the NX10 has an electronic viewfinder with VGA resolution and 921,000 dots. The viewfinder has a field of view of approximately 100%. A diopter adjustment lets you focus the image on the viewfinder to your eyesight. The camera has a proximity sensor that automatically switches the monitor image to the viewfinder as you bring the camera up to your face.

Recording Media: The Samsung NX10 digital camera can record still images and video onto SD Memory Cards (up to 4 GB) or SDHC Memory Cards (up to 8 GB). The camera has no internal built-in memory.

Image Sensor: The Samsung NX10 digital camera is equipped with a 23.4 x 15.6mm APS-C-sized CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 15.1 mega-pixels and an effective pixel count of approximately 14.6 mega-pixels for high-quality still images and video. The built-in Image Sensor Cleaning System removes harmful dust particles from the sensor by vibrating 60,000 times per second. The sensor cleaning procedure can be performed when selected in the menu, or set to automatically operate whenever the camera is powered on.

Image Recording Format: The digital camera records still images in JPEG and RAW formats. Uncompressed RAW images are saved without loss of data, with the photo size set to 14M (4592 x 3056). The Samsung RAW Converter software, found on the supplied CD-ROM, is required to save the raw data as a JPEG or TIFF image file. High-definition and standard-definition movie clips with audio (monaural) are recorded in H.264 (MPEG4.AVC).

Image Size: The camera can record JPEG still images in a 3:2 or 16:9 aspect ratio with three compression ratio settings (Super Fine, Fine, and Normal). RAW format photos are captured alone, or along with a JPEG image in one of the above compression ratio settings. Movie clips can be recorded in standard-definition with a 4:3 aspect ratio, or high-definition with a 16:9 aspect ratio at 30 frames per second. You can choose between HQ and Normal image quality.

Metering Mode: The camera gives you three options for measuring the brightness of the scene:

  • Multi: Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. This is suitable for general use.
  • Spot: Only the rectangular area in the center of the LCD monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable when the subject in the center is exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.
  • Center Weighted: Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the center of the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture of small objects like a flower or insects.

Pop-up Flash: The Samsung NX10 features a built-in pop-up flash, which can be opened manually with the flash button. You can adjust the amount of flash (+/-2.0EV, 1/2 EV steps) to avoid overexposure or underexposure. You can choose from the following flash modes:

  • Smart Flash: The amount of flash light is adjusted automatically according to the exposure.
  • Auto Flash: The flash operates automatically when the scene is dark.
  • Auto w/Red-Eye Reduction: The flash work automatically with a pre-flash to reduce the red-eye effect.
  • Fill In Flash: The flash fires regardless of the available light. The intensity of the flash will be automatically controlled.
  • Fill In w/Red-Eye Reduction: The flash fires regardless of the available light with a pre-flash to reduce the red-eye effect.
  • 1st Curtain: The flash fires immediately after the opening of the shutter to express clearly the front part of the action and blur later action.
  • 2nd Curtain: The flash fires just before the closing of the shutter to express clearly the latter part of the action and blur the early action.
  • Flash Off: The flash does not fire.

External Flash: The NX has a top-mounted hot shoe for attaching an external flash unit, such as the Samsung SEF 20A or SEF 42A. The A-TTL Auto Flash mode can be used when an external flash is attached.

White Balance: The white balance control allows you to adjust the colors to appear more natural. The camera has ten white balance modes:

  • Auto WB: The camera automatically selects the appropriate white balance settings, depending on the prevailing lighting conditions.
  • Daylight: For taking images outside on a clear day
  • Cloudy: For taking images under a cloudy and overcast sky, or in shadows.
  • Fluorescent White: Daylight, fluorescent lamp, suitable especially for the white fluorescent light (color temp 4200K)
  • Fluorescent NW: Daylight, fluorescent lamp, suitable especially for daylight-like fluorescent light (color temp 5000K)
  • Tungsten: For shooting under halogen lamp and incandescent bulbs
  • Flash WB: suitable when using the built-in flash
  • Custom Set: allows you to set the white balance by measuring the light source directly
  • Color Temp: allows you to set the white balance by adjusting the color temperature (between 2000K--candle light and 10000K--clear sky)

ISO Sensitivity: The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers. A higher ISO setting allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. You can select Auto ISO sensitivity or select the ISO value manually in 1 EV steps. In addition to Auto ISO, you can choose from the following ISO settings: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200.

Picture Wizard: You can express various emotional moods in your pictures by selecting one of the Picture Wizard options: Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Forest, Retro, Cool, Calm, or Classic. Once you have selected an option, you can further fine tune the color, saturation, sharpness, and contrast.

Histogram: A histogram is a graph that displays how light is distributed in your photo. If the histogram has a high peak on the left, your photos are dark. A peak on the right of the graph means that your photos are bright. The height of the peaks is related to color information. The more of a particular color, the taller the peak.
