night pictures
Mount the camera on the tripod and set it to (B)ulb mode, set the desired aperture/ISO and focus manually on your subject (if it's dark then the AF won't have anything to lock onto so switch it off).
Use the remote control to trip the shutter and again to close it. Start with a 10 second exposure and if it's still too dark try another at, say, 20 seconds. Repeat this until you have the picture exposed as you want it.
Good luck
You'll need a tripod and, ideally, a remote control.

And use mirror lock up.

Ah - sorry; I've not come across Samsung re-badged lenses being referred to as 'SA' before!!!
That's because "SA" is the name of Sigma's lens mount
Its the same kind of badge on the WR 18-55 that has DA on it.

Yes and No....maybe maybe
Yes, the Sigma mount is SA
No, SA on my lens means it's an SA-series lens much in the same way Pentax have 'F' or 'FA' or 'DA' - means naff all
maybe - the SA mount is only very slightly different to the K, the lugs are in the same position but the depth is different....
My Samsung lens is actually a Schneider Kreuznach badged lens - adds a little bit of glamour since Schneider made a name by making wonderful lenses for old German SLRs and Rolleis and enlarger lenses, much like Rodenstock.
