Best settings for photography, model specific. Samsung NX1100?

I have a Samsung NX1100 20.3mp with a kit lens 20-50mm f3.5-5.6 ED. I know I need more lenses to cover additional things like landscapes, macro, and varying portraits but I can't seem to find any help for my specific model. I also know it isn't the standard Cannon or Nikon so I hope the information is enough.

First, yes- I have checked my manual for settings and advice, and I have also tested varying settings for different things to experiment. Most people say f8 seems to be a good aperture for most things like portraits etc, like a sweet spot. But I would like to get more practice with this lens before taking the plunge for the 50-200mm etc which run around $300+ for this camera.

Second, I do look at tons of guides, blogs, and webinars when i can. It has helped me learn a lot. I would just really appreciate advice from people who have been photographers for a while on what the optimum settings would be for this camera specifically if possible.

The NX300 is the replacement for my camera, also I think the new NX30. I may purchase them at some point when I'm more comfortable with my current camera first. This is a link to the camera on walmart, which gives some more specs. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Samsung-20.3-MP-NX1100/24471469

PS. I will also be shooting in RAW, and use Lightroom 5 / Photoshop.

What are some good beginner filmmaking cameras?

Hey everyone,

Me and my brother both go to school. I am a business major and he is a film major. Our goal once we graduate college in a year or so is to open up shop and become directors. We want to start making independent short films so we are looking for some good equipment. Currently we have the following:

Nikon D3200
Go Pro Hero 3+
Photoshop
After Effects
Sony Vegas

We would like to know if this is a good starting set up? We also want to get a new camera, one that is pretty cheep ($1,000) price limit. I have looked online but a lot of it is outdated. We need a camera comparable with external mics such as boom and shotgun mics. What cameras and equipment do you recommend? Thanks.

Will non-Ai lenses allow TTL auto flash metering on Nikon F4?

I have original non-Ai Nikkor 20mm f3.5 UD and 50mm f1.4 S Auto. When I tried auto TTL flash on Nikon F4 with SB-22S, it was not firing. But it was firing in Manual mode. The flash icon inside the viewfinder was blinking continuously when in Auto TTL mode. What would be the reason? Does non-Ai lenses not support TTL flash feature on Nikon F4?
Thanks for your answers.

Any tips for my first Boudoir Photo Shoot?

I am taking my first Boudoir shoot, next week. The location will be in a Hotel room around 5pm! The gear i will be taking will be my Nikon d3100, kit lens, 50mm 1.8, a Sigma 22-35mm 1.8 lens, a white umbrella with a speed light stand and a speed light of course. I do have wireless triggers! Any advice would be great! I think my main concern is lighting, i am still fairly new with using a speedlight and an umbrella, and it gets dark around 5:30 so i know i will be using my speed light eventually. I am so nervous i am going to mess up! I did explain to the girl i never done anything like this before, and i am still new to photography. Only been doing it for 2 years! ><

What settings work best for digital cameras when you take pics on Self-Timer?

Im not sure if its matter but Im using Canon G12 or Nikon D3100 when taking pics. Ive no problem taking pics in the regulare mode (no timer), but everytime I use the self timer the pics get so blurry when taking them on distant. Im going to start a blog about clothes (its a blog about outfits and wardrobe challenges) and I want my pics to be sharper without editing on pic-editing programs like photoshop (dont have that program anyway). So Im wondering:

Whats type of settings (P, M, No flash etc) gives best result when using the timer?
Just need the name of the settings (and search myself which icon/setting it could be) or a link to a website that wrote about the settings. Ive read the manuals but still lost. :S
Added (1). a pic example, Im used Nikon for this + the no-flash icon: image -.- so blurry despite its a very good camera.
Added (2). Im not using a tripod, I put it on a shelf… LOL XD
Added (3). ah, its not for professional usage. Im just a noob with photography (self learning how to use it) and just want the details to be clearer so its easier to see all the elements in the outfit like this: image its an hobby kind of blog (and I live in a OLD house. :P) .
