Description
Aperture value
A range of supported aperture values. For example, 1:3.5–6.3 means
the maximum aperture value range from 3.5 to 6.3.
Focal length
The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in
millimeters). This figure is expressed in a range: minimum focal length
to maximum focal length of the lens.
Longer focal lengths result in narrower angles of view and the subject
is magnified. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of view.
ED
ED stands for Extra-low Dispersion. Extra-low dispersion glass is
effective in minimizing chromatic aberration (a distortion that occurs
when a lens fails to focus all colors to the same convergence point).
OIS (p. 101)
3 4 5
Optical Image Stabilization. Lenses with this feature can detect
camera shake and effectively cancel out the movement inside the
camera.
Ø
The lens diameter. When you attach a filter to the lens, make sure that
the diameters of the lens and the filter are the same.

Shooting modes
Two simple shooting modes—Smart Auto and Smart mode—help you
capture photos with numerous automatic settings. Additional modes
allow for greater customization of settings.
Icon
t Smart Auto mode
In Smart Auto mode, the camera recognizes surrounding conditions
and automatically adjusts factors that contribute to exposure, including
shutter speed, aperture value, metering, White Balance, and exposure
compensation. As the camera controls most of the functions, some
shooting functions are limited. This mode is useful for capturing quick
snapshots with the least amount of adjustment.

• For best results when capturing panoramic photos, avoid the following:
- moving the camera too quickly or too slowly
- moving the camera too little to capture the next image
- moving the camera at irregular speeds
- shaking the camera
- shooting in dark places
- capturing moving subjects nearby
- shooting conditions where the brightness or color of light is changing

• If you select Baseball, a subject’s movement is clearly detected under the
following situation:
- maintaining a ± 20° angle of view from a batter's side (in the direction of a
ball’s path)
- maintaining distance of 3-3.5 m between the camera and a batter
- there is no net between the camera and a batter
Recording a video
In Shooting mode, you can record UHD videos (4096X2160) by pressing
(Video recording). The camera lets you record a video up to 29 minutes
and 59 seconds long, or until the size of the movie file reaches 4 GB in
length at 60, 30, 24, or 15 fps, and then saves the file in HEVC format. (For
3840X2160 (30 fps), you can record up to 14 minutes and 12 seconds. For
4096X2160 (30 fps), you can record up to 15 minutes and 50 seconds.) 15
fps is available only with some Smart Filter options. The sound is recorded
via the camera’s microphone. (If you attach an external microphone, the
sound will be recorded via the external microphone.)
You can set the exposure by adjusting the aperture value and shutter
speed for the mode you selected. When you use a lens that does not have
an AF/MF switch while recording a video, press [F] to deactivate or
activate the AF function. When you use the lens that has an AF/MF switch,
the AF function works according to the switch’s setting.
Select Fader to fade in or out a scene. You can also select Voice, Wind Cut,
or other options to set recording options. (p. 124)
While recording a video, touch
to select a touch AF option. If Touch AF
is selected, the focus holds on the focus area by touching a subject on the
screen and if Tracking AF is selected, the focus tracks and automatically
focuses on your subject, even when the subject is moving or when you

established in 2013 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Because this format
uses a high compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space.
Depending on your computer’s specifications, files may not play at full
resolution due to the high compression on some computers.
If you have the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the
camera may record the image stabilizer sound.
The zoom sound or other lens sounds may be recorded if you adjust the lens
while recording a video.
When using an optional video lens, the autofocus noise is not recorded.

to minimize camera shake.
When the size of a movie file exceeds 4 GB, the camera automatically stops
recording even if the maximum recording time (29 minutes and 59 seconds)
has not been reached.
If you use a slow writing memory card, the recording of your movie can
be interrupted because the card cannot process data at the rate the video
is being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or
reduce the video size (for example, from 1280X720 to 640X480).
When recording a UHD video, it is recommended to use a memory card with
a writing speed of faster than 30 MB/sec.
When formatting a memory card, always format using the camera. If you
format on another camera or a PC, you can lose files on the card or cause a
change in the capacity of the card.
When you press the video recording button, intelli-zoom turns off.
While recording a video in the same ISO sensitivity, the screen may be darker
than taking a photo. Adjust the ISO sensitivity.
When you record a video in P, A, or S mode, ISO is automatically set to Auto.

Hi-speed: If the shutter speed is faster than the camera’s sync
speed (the quickest time taken to open and close the shutter), the
flash will fire multiple times at high speed. The flash starts to fire
while the shutter opens. This option can be set only when you
attach a compatible, optional external flash. (SEF-580A)
• The available options may differ depending on shooting conditions.
• There is an interval between two bursts of the flash. Do not move until the
flash fires a second time.
• If you select Off, the flash does not fire even when an external flash is
attached. If you adjust the flash intensity manually, the flash will fire once
without a pre-flash.
Use only Samsung-approved flashes. Using incompatible flashes may damage
your camera.
