mercer Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Just go to Vimeo and search "Samsung NX1" the first page is filled with impressive footage from the NX1.Heres a few screengrabs of my latest video (still on edit) http://imgur.com/a/rQHhx I think the camera is outstanding in every way, color/resolution/detail is amazing, you can make it as filmic as you want, or just not at all, its quite versatile. I too am eager to have native support H265 on premiere, it will make my job so much easier.Ricardo, you have some beautiful looks in those images. What camera settings are you using?Do you expose to the right and adjust in post, or do you try to nail your exposure in camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo_sousa11 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ricardo, you have some beautiful looks in those images. What camera settings are you using?Do you expose to the right and adjust in post, or do you try to nail your exposure in camera?Hey, Thank you very much Im not sure what settings im currently using, when I get home ill check and post them here =)I underexpose most of my shots, I think thats how you make the NX1 look the best, over exposed shots make it look way too digital and looks quite bad, so its best to under expose and then bring the exposure up in post if needed.Heres a few more, from another project, that show mostly how my footage is underexposed when I start color grading (these were very early shots of the grading also without any sharpen) - http://imgur.com/a/CCBXl - Ill post a few more of these, and how they will end up looking when I get home. =) sandro, iamoui and mercer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DR curve is very different from Sony's sensor.Macgregors short on the Ferrari is awesome. I shoot in sunny conditions almost daily, bright skies were my biggest problem with the NX1, even with ND's. I've had an easier time with the A7rII.Edit: just saw your other post about underexposing, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from a canon, im still getting used to it, but the more I use it, the more I love it, every single frame of a video can be a photograph. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still searching for the perfect settings for my NX500. It doesn't have Gamma DR or the choice of 0-255 or whatever the other option is. I really like your footage so if I could get my image looking half of what you're getting I'd be a happy filmmaker. Recently I have been exposing to the right with -4 saturation, -5 contrast and -10 sharpness and I have been getting pretty good results, but then I see your footage and learn you're underexposing = I am confused all over again. Btw, where do you live? It looks like the most beautiful place in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosushi Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Personally I tend to overexpose to protect the highlights - which aren't great on the NX1. But the shadows tend to retain more info than on other cameras (i.e GH4). kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey,Thank you very much, im glad you enjoy it My current camera settings are Gamma DR (although you can try some other on the NX500, im sure you can get it similar) and Saturation -1, Sharpness -10 and contrast-3. When shooting I just look at the viewfinder, and expose it ot the left, exposing to the right will overexpose the highlights, making it look digital. Heres what a shot of mine look, completely RAW and then edited :http://imgur.com/a/u4W8DMy grading settings for some of these were :M31 Lut rec709 intensity 56,7,faded film 29,4, Contrast + 22 and the curve with a very soft S shape, on top I also add film convert and then tweak the settings a bit more on each individual clip.I live in Madeira-Portugal, it is quite a beautifull place, Im in the process of doing a little video showing of the island, ill share when its done mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidzrevil Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I've been tempted to use the NX1 ever since it's release. I'd like to rent it but I can't find a vendor in the UK.I think the colours are lovely and the resolution is absolutely ridiculous. What's the "better" type of skilled footage you have come across? Albert Fast does a good job with his little short films. honestly Albert Fast's work with the NX1 is the best I've seen hands down. Convinced me that leaving my A7s for an NX1 wouldn't be a bad decision lol. I am constantly doing real world tests with mine but I am waiting for Adobe to support h.265 natively before i release anything. I feel like transcoding the footage isn't giving us the "real" performance of the nx1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like transcoding the footage isn't giving us the "real" performance of the nx1.That's one of the big reasons I want to see NX1 footage shot with an external recorder, but for some reason, no one seems to have done it. At least judging by the lack of any test clips online. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's just experimenting at this point. I've been like that having sold a gh4 and an a7s which were both good cameras. I think the NX1 has a lot of potential but again we just need native support from Adobe and Final Cut to see it's potential. Now more than ever you HAVE to get as close as possible to the final look in camera. If you try to go flat by lowering contrast and saturation we're kinda being counterproductive. The selling point of the camera is the contrast and beautiful colors....hope I didn't go off on a tangent LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The selling point of the camera is the contrast and beautiful colors....hope I didn't go off on a tangent LOLYeah, I have the NX500 and I have experimented with nearly every possible setting. My current set up is -4 saturation -10 sharpness and -5 contrast. Not sure how the colors are with the nx1, but I find the colors on the nx500 to be off. If I don't desaturate in camera, the yellows oranges and greens just don't look right. But I am a newbie, so it could be user error. Btw, love your videos man...

Top notch!!!hmmm i'll give that a shot ! I did notice no matter my contrast setting I had to bump down saturation to a maximum of -2 to really capture all the colors without oversaturating the image.

And I appreciate you checking out my work !!!Yeah, I use -2 saturation as well. But I recently saw the demo video from the guy from cinema5d and he used -4 saturation in the demo, so I have been messing with that. The nx500 doesn't have gamma dr, and very little info out there regarding optimum settings, so it's test and next. No problem, I had actually seen a bunch of your videos a few months back. Look forward to the nx1 clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
