richg101 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 with each firmware downloaded they should take a postal address and send the user a little red sticker with a 'C' on it to stick onto their camera body... Andrew Reid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve M. Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yep, read about the update coming, and all of Andrews first impressions of this camera and sold my GH4 today and ordered the Samsung! My guess is this camera will go on back order very soon once everyone realizes it's potential. Get it while it's hot.And, I'm waiting for an Andrew Reid user guide for this camera! Hint...hint!

nazdar Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 So Samsung is giving us their own SML = Samsung Magic Lantern space? Yes big "THANK TO YOU MAGIC LANTERN!" and all the other wonderfull camera hacking comunities.Hope this attitude will last at Samsung team and some marketing big head will not cripple it sooner or later.

ChristieEnglish Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi everybody. I was at CES today and at the Samsung CES booth where they had some NX1 cameras mounted around a photo booth with a couple of models in a living room setting. I happened to notice that the Samsung people did not have the NX1 SD card slot glued shut so I slipped in my own SD card and made some video using the Gamma Normal, Gamma C, and Gamma DR profiles that is in the 1.2 pre-release firmware. I thought that I would share them with all of you. Before I made the video, I performed a RESET ALL on the camera so I would be shooting with pristine default settings. Attached are the screen grabs of the video playing in KODI/XBMC of my MacBook Pro.Take note of how the black colors in the picture frame that is on the bookshelf to the left of the model's head perform under Gamma DR and Gamma C, and Gamma Normal. You can get the raw H.265 files from my MediaFire file share:https://www.mediafire.com/folder/63s4q7yuwp7nk/CES2015_NX1 dahlfors, Cinegain, majoraxis and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arellaTV Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Bravo, Christie English! Nice ninja work! It's greatly appreciated.You can see a little bit more detail in the picture with GammaDR. It'll be interesting to see how different the modes perform in 4k. With a quick peek, it feels like GammaNormal is the sharpest of the three.

majoraxis Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 @ ChristieEnglish - Thanks posting this - I really appreciate you taking time to share this!GammaDR is looking good. It seems to have some latitude to play with when I push the image around in Abobe Bridge.Well done Samsung!I believe this is what is called Cine-Gamma rather than Log-Gamma. But I could have my terms wrong. Hopefully they will give us an even flatter Log style picture profile in a future firmware release. This looks to be a definite step in the right direction and maybe even better for people who want a bit more dynamic range without having to totally tweak with the colors in the post.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 10, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2015 How do you rate the KODI app as a player? Smooth for H.265 playback on your Macbook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosushi Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Not so smooth on mine, but definitely better than all other apps.Also it doesn't crush the blacks as much as mplayerX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgen Gerstel Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Here are some grading examples based on the footage of ChristieEnglish, thanks Christine for doing this .Examples are a bit extreme, one "normal", "moonlight" and old 1980's look.

froboy88 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Its my understanding that Samsung is opening software for developers to create apps (mostly directed at interface with tizen smart tv's). Necessary code for developers to write the apps is shared, but I don't think that means that the proprietary firmware (the stuff that effects what the camera records) can be changed by the apps....yet. I have no idea if the release of this SDK will help hackers. Maybe. There have been hacks for the other NX cameras but nothing that affects picture quality. I think the obscene amount of processing power would make the NX1 a great candidate for a hack and don't get me wrong I'm rooting for ML all the way. However I think the best chance for the NX1 getting even better is from Samsung directly at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosushi Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It looks like instead of hacks maybe the community just has to ask Samsung...The firmware 1.2 look like a big answer to what the users have been asking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_David Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 yes a lot of times you can reach out to companies and express your thoughts on how to improve their product. You are doing them a huge favor by being out in the field testing them. Samsung is showing a great precedent for being so receptive to user feedback. Panasonic is also very good at this. But this is pretty much unheard of - how quickly they responded to user feedback. I think the OS the camera works on allows this. It's very exciting news and puts the NX1 definitely in a hotter category. I am very excited to test it with the new log like setting.

hoodlum Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 dpreview posted a short interview with Samsung. They made an interesting comments related to sensor readout speed that would suggest it can do 4k @ 24p with full sensor readout.http://***URL removed***/articles/7808127857/ces-2015-samsung-interview-mirrorless-to-outsell-dslrs-in-three-years"The sensor readout is very fast - 240 frames per second. For autofocus object tracking we read at 120Hz. We can do full resolution sensor readout at 25 frames per second, and digital signal processing [with a new chip and algorithms] at 15 frames per second.

drissa Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks for the video files. Assuming the H.265 files can withstand a bit of grading, I'd love Samsung to include an even flatter gamma option. Something that would look like this...
