In my own experience, ois on 50-150 is much better than that in 16-50s. At least 1 stop more for stills.

Ok now I'm really confused. Andrew says: "... shoot 16-235 so that when EditReady converts to 16-235 ProRes you see into the shadows." While the link from editready seems to state the exact contrary of this!!! And....what to do if using rockymountain + adobe premiere in windows?? Help!!

I've been using this resource for nx fw, for a long time: http://samsungnx.herokuapp.com It downloads directly from samsung servers, nothing is stored there locally. As to the video, I'll try to post a fraction of it. Unfortunately I have limited band so I cannot post big clips :'( The af is much better for stills (snappier, even in low lightlight and finally it never focuses on the background instead of the subject) and it hunts lessless during video.

There is 1.03 for both the S lenses.

Today I filmed my daughter on a bouncing carped on the beach. I had my 16-50s lens and ois was on. Dis was on as well, shutter was at 1/60 for uhd@25fps. The result is incredibly good! Looks like I used a gimbal. And I don't have steady hands! I'm really happy with dis! P.s. the af is much better than before as well.

Thx you all. Andrew, just another quick question. Do your lut assume the use of 16-235? If so, if instead I used 0-255 could I apply the lut with similar-same results? And is there the possibility to convert 0-255 to 16-235 so to have the 'best of both worlds'?

Ok, so for a 'video newby' like me, to check if I understood: both the settings keep the same data and map them in two different ranges (0-255 or 16-235). Hence the former should have more discrete steps then the latter, thus giving less banding? Or this is not related at all? Besides, are luts designed to work better with one mode then with another? Does this depend on the sw used? Uh...difficult matter indeed ;-)

Crop is small. Way less than 1.5x. I'd say 1.25x (16mm is about 20mm fov with dis on).

Hmmm ok. But, among others, Andrew recommends 16-235 for nx1. This is not clear.

And....perhaps few noticed that, but now focus peaking can be turned always on during video...just set the focus peaking to a custom button and you're done. I tested it only with nx lenses, but I guess the same goes for legacy lenses.

Dbounce, if a newer camera comes from samsung it will be the lower end nx50. For the successor of nx1 you'll have to wait 1.5-2 years imo.

I think this has already been discussed in other threads, but never as a stand alone topic. I don't really get the differences about these two encoding modes. The 0-255 seems to have more discrete steps in representing the (same) dr that the sensor can output and the codec can encode. Is this generally better to preserve colors and dr? Then why most ppl suggest to use 16-235?

while raw video could even be possible for the mighty hw of the nx1, I have much lower requests that could be implemented in...less than a day, in the firmware. Perhaps they are simply too busy to read the mails of suggestion we sent.

Sandro, samsung works like this. We (real users) can ask for 1000 useful features, but they will go their route and release what they have in mind. No cropped 4k as alternative, no log profile, no always on peaking, no magnification in video, no lossy raw as an option...instead the DIS jimmick.

Great video!!! Please share your settings on both the cameras, and some pp/grading tips. Thanks!

Werner, I really like the ooc colors you got! I don't seem to get such a nice green ooc. Which settings did you use?

I've been asking for this feature at least since feb 2015. Samsung won't be giving us the possibility of saving the movie settings in the profiles, this is shameful.

big bsi sensors seem to be very good in pulling exposures from raw. nx1 is also great at that. but they seem to suffer of blown highlights quite a bit. henc better to expose for highlights (unless the main subject is much, much darker) and then pull the exposure in post.

While we are at it. If I want to use 30/60/120p (for having more frames) but I live in Europe, is there a way to convert my footage after, in post, to 25/50/100p and get rid of the flickering?

Unfortunately those are two things we pointed out at the very beginning. We even sent to samsung a list of suggestions that they never implemented (like 6 months ago).

I won't do any pp. Do these setting give the best w/o grading?

I've been asked to shoot a torchlight show on the sea this evening, with nx1 (since they want 4k video). I'm not a pro and I won't be paid for this, it's just a favour I do to a friend involved in the show. There will be some small boats coming from far to near, on the sea, with these torches. Which settings should I use an optimal rendition? I'm planning to do uhd at 30fps, hence 1/60. I'd like to be able to see the boats, w/o blowing the torchlights. I'll use the 50-150 lens. For an optimal ooc clip: Which gamma? Which mbl? Which sharpness? Which contrast? Thanks in advance

I've been asking samsung to add this 'cropped' format since day 0. Unfortunately they didn't do this, yet. Now that a7r2 is out with the choice of ff or aps-c video, I hope at samsung open their eyes and implement this in nx1 as a kind of digital zooming for video.

I didn't see a comparative test to say so. Anyway it won't be that surprising, given the price difference. At about 2.5x the price, it should be a (much) better camera in every aspect. Is it? Dunno. Certainly not for sport photography. And when you account lenses in the whole, you have to spend much, much more. Nx1 actually seems a bargain now.

I asked for the same thing several days ago. I'd like to see some stills pulled from videos for both the cameras, in different situations (bright light, lower light, moire inclined subjects and so on).
