With Samsung's lens-shift optical image-stabilizing technology, sharp photos will be produced even if the camera moves a bit when shooting. Even with little available light, the optical image stabilizer uses tiny lens-shifts to cancel out motion blur. And since the image is being stabilized in the lens, what you see through the viewfinder - and on the display - is perfectly clear. Optimized to be quick and accurate with Samsung's compact NX system, the auto focus on this lens can reach focus in an incredible 0.17 seconds.
Easy to use in both auto and manual modes and providing fast focus and sharp images, this is the perfect compact lens with which to delve into the world of mirrorless photography.
Also included with the NX300 is the SEF-8A flash unit which mounts to the camera's hot shoe. This compact flash, with a Guide Number of 8, flips up to turn on and flips back down to turn off.
