Selfie success!

SAMSUNG is hoping to banish the bane of unflattering selfies with its new camera, much to the delight of narcissists and self-conscious teens around the globe.

Despite its small size, the NX Mini boasts a 180-degree rotational screen, offering the perfect design to shoot your selfie with ease. Not only does it eliminate the awkwardness of the shooting itself, but the ability to tilt the screen means you can shoot from a variety of different angles. And herein lays the key to the perfect selfie, the company says.

The NX Mini allows you to position the lens according to your strongest profile features. And Samsung is offering the following tips for taking the ‘perfect selfie’.

1. Make sure that the lighting is correct. Backlighting is a big no-no when it comes to selfies. Take your shot somewhere that is well lit, and for the experimental among you, use a tissue over the flashlight to create an ambient image.

2. Location and lighting fixed, now it’s time to pose. Our one piece of advice? Natural will always win out. Big pouty lips do not equal class. A big smile, however, does.

3. Use your camera to its full ability. It’s worth taking the time to study your new purchase thoroughly, and learn how to maximise all of its features. The selfie shot on the go for example, might benefit from NX Mini’s Continuous Shot feature, which will keep shooting images leaving you with a selection of the best to choose from. This feature would for example be best used when on a roller coaster ride.

Samsung’s NX Mini NFC and Wi-Fi capabilities will allow you to share your images online in no time.

It comes in several colours and is encased in a leatherette design.

The NX mini is available across all major retail stores for BD139.
