Makes sense to me! So, let me ask you this, if you were to expose on say a candle, and then pan over off that candle to a darker part of the scene, would that camera shift exposure? I do hear what you're saying, most users are shooting a high contrast sunlit scene, however, I have seen some outdoor NX1 shots of a not so high contrast scene and the video was definitely shifting. Now, that may well be the operator had a setting incorrect, so don't read to much into that, but it is what it is.

I'll have to admit, you do have a point, DigitalEd. I think the only way to answer that, well maybe not the only way, but a way, is to have someone post a video shot from a GH4, or Sony, Canon, whatever, similar scenario, and compare the two. If we see something completely different in the way said camera handles the exposure, then we can determine if indeed the NX1 has a shift.

Well said, Noa! That is exactly correct, Ray isn't doing anything production and post-production wise that anyone with some solid working experience can't produce, and he admits that. But, it is what noa said, it's his perception to his clients. In one example clip he showed this bride who was so excited that Ray Roman was shooting her wedding, she could hardly contain herself, that is perception.

I don't see any drifting in Andrew's vid's. He even stated he couldn't reproduce the shifting, but then tweaked a few settings and pretty much replicated it. However certain users, despite turning off everything he suggested, still have the drift. Yes, he is using a Nikon adapter for a Zeiss lens, so is that the difference, who knows. Although he stated he didn't have that problem with the Samsung 30mm pancake. I don't think he would over-look this as a non-issue. With that being said, I think it is an issue, but I don't think every NX1 has it, or at least a lot of the footage I've looked at, I certainly don't see it, and the footage is high contrast stuff. I don't know, it something no one can put there finger on, so like I said before, it's up to Samsung to remedy the issue.

I think it's apparent that this shift is not happening on all Samsung NX1's, some have it and others do not. I guess we can all hope the firmware update remedies the situation.

I bought his CreativeLive wedding seminar a year ago and it has some really good information. His story is pretty amazing coming from a police SWAT to one of the most sought after wedding videographers. Also, what's pretty amazing is it's just him and his wife doing all these productions, with his wife editing 90 percent of all of them. He also spoke about getting to those higher end clients, and it's a process, and not all that easy because not only do you need to bring on solid production and cinematography skills, you have to play the game, and play it well.

Alright, cool! I appreciate that information. If I may ask, what is the Video-STBY's use?

Hello! I've read most of the posts on this site concerning the Samsung NX1, and I was seeing if any of you owners of this camera would consider posting a video on the 'video recording' function of this camera? The User manual pdf is somewhat convoluted on the movie record function. I'm not sure if you have to be in Movie-STBY to be able to record, or if you can hit record from the fully manual mode? Anyway, if possible, that would be grately appreciated. Getting my NX1 in a few days, need to hit the ground running! Thank you!

​I just ordered this camera, and in my opinion, I don't like what I see with that drift. And yes, in my opinion your video still has a camera compensation going on. In fully manual, that exposure should not bloom what-so-ever, ZERO. That definitely has a blooming going on. Maybe Andrew can chime in on this one, but my opinion that is an issue.

Nice Christie, nice!!

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!

Who cares what Vincent Laforet thinks? What matters is what you think. May I ask, why do so many websites put Vincent Laforet on a pedestal? Why? Just curious, I'm not meaning for that to sound negative.

I've owned this camera for just over two-weeks and have done 3 video shoots with it. I will say, I do come from a Canon background, having owned from the T3i and everything in between to the 5DM2. This is my first Nikon, based pretty much on Andrews reviews. I have to say, I'm really on the fence with this camera. There are so many basic road blocks when it comes to video acquisition, which is the only reason I bought this camera. Were do I begin, the metering from the viewfinder back to live view is bigtime inconsistent, sometimes as much as a stop, and I haven't moved off the set point. Changing metering modes didn't change this situation. The LCD for setting critical focus is terrible. Of course, having to come out of live view is a known bummer, and many have thought a manual lens a work around, not so, Nikon has further crippled this camera by offering no metering with a manual lens...really Nikon, really? I've been doing video production long enough to eyeball exposure, and half the time the meter isn't right to begin with, but, it's nice to have in certain situations. Despite all that, I do like this camera. I just don't know if I can get over the non-metering with manual lenses. I do plan on buying a SmallHD DP4 to test with this camera to see how accurate exposure, color, and everything else is with that setup. Over and out.
