CyclingBen Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I haven’t used the NX1 much for personal use. Now that it’s been liberated from work I’ve been testing it out on one of my passions, shooting the northern lights and a few days ago tried the light trails mode. Whatever voodoo Samsung put in this camera makes it shoot perfect northern light photos with this setting, without having to do anything but point the camera in the right direction. However I cannot find a way to make the intervolameter in the ‘s’ mode work at all. Do any of you know if there is a menu I’m missing or if there is a work around? Since the NX1 will automatically make a 4K video in camera I’d love to set it up every night for the next month while the aurora activity is high and hopefully capture the lights without really having to think about it. i can’t recommend using the light trails mode enough for the northern lights (or southern lights coming up in a few months). Every and I mean every shot is perfectly exposed and the colors are incredible. Sunscreen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnewxcv Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 if you are using S mode, which shutter speed and iso do you select? And what is your metering mode set to: spot, center weighted, or multi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclingBen Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 I’m not using the shutter priority mode, sorry that was possibly confusing. The S or Samsung special mode on the dial, it has a whole bunch of speciality shot options like the light trace and the baseball swing detection. mnewxcv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
