    Samsung NX500 + 30mm pancake in the mid of 2019:

    Samsung NX500 + 30mm pancake in the mid of 2019:
    NO hack, standard bitrate, all in auto: unbelievable result to my eyes (but I’m experienced))) I still keep three NX1 with hack (for bitrate) but decided to keep NX500 without hack just for stability, and use it as a main Photo camera. But sometimes use NX500 as a run-n-gun for video, and each time I’m impressed…

    I am having trouble figuring out how to send audio to Samsung NX1 camera from camera out port on tascam recorder. Anyone sure how to make it where recorder sends data to camera and save that directly to camera SD card? Or any idea on how to simply process for syncing up audio with external audio recorder?

    you could use headphones to troublesoot signal chain. before i've invested in sounddevices mixpre3, i used to monitor audio via additional phones-amplifier designed for mobile phones, thus it boost audio signal and eliminates poor audio output cercuit: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1160529-REG/fiio_a3b_a3_portable_headphone_amplifier_black.html

    for syncing, I usually read the name of the audio file off the DR-60 screen. That way I know which audio file goes with which video file. You could also write down the filename on a whiteboard or clapperboard and hold it in front of the camera, but I've found it's easier to have that identifier in the camera's internal audio than it is to have it in the video image. Whichever works for you. You should also make a loud clap to have a place to sync on

    why simply not to rename files: date-time created???

    There are two USB modes, Mass Storage and Remote Access.

    +1

    i keep nx1 in RemoteAccess mode, and always charg-ing and hdmi-ing torgether.

    +1 for 3d item, because one of my nx1 has been in service after hdmi cable was touched not realy freandly...

    NX1: “Shot 2 Rec” + “USB Charging” = simultaneously : HELP

    usb Shooter release cable: is a simple knob, which connects ground of usb cable with white one. if green one shortened to the ground, the pre-focus activated (the same logic as a main release button on the boby). There are No digital signals involved...

    But, for some reason, i can not duplicate release cable via hand made one. That makes me creasy...))) 

    You can buy nx1 usb release cable on ebay for 10 dollars, and it is a fantastic little tool. I wish i could marry this cable with charging option...

    NX1: “Shot 2 Rec” + “USB Charging” = simultaneously : HELP
    Dear Comrades! I do really appreciate your help.

    1. “USB Charging” works perfectly fine
    2. Shutter Release via USB port works perfectly fine
    3. I spent entire day trying to create ONE usb cable with BOTH functions simultaneously.

    It looks like i understand “usb pin-outs”, but i do not understand why i fail.  i have a usb-release-cable-knob (works fine) but i'm going mad with pin-out logic for USB release..

    Please, HOW to create a USB cable with BOTH: release knob + charging.

    Thanks in advance…

    Holy crap. Can we drop the rgb boost to keep 1/60 shutter speed without an ND? Now THAT is worth exploring! 

    I gues no. At least i failed. The shutter angle remains the same, even in manual mode M only ExpComp affected. ISO already locked by minimum value in this case.

    But negative vector trick definitely deserve to investigate...

    I always wondered what this profile was. I never found anything about it. Why it is there, or who made it.

    I am not sure whatbis its purpose. It says something like Pro Custom Settings, or something but I can't find any info about it.

    Kisaha, thank you fot the comment!

    Do you think it is possible to "HACK" its settings (or unlock) in order to be able to use it with A,S,M modes instead of locked P mode???

    There is a “Cinematic” PictureProfile hidden and locked in C1 (custom) mode. It is available ONLY via Custom mode (C1, C2)  “open” menu. This profile boosts ISO and grade.

    Unfortunately it locked to Program Mode (P), so it is not really usable for me, because i never use P mode… But “Cinematic” looks interesting, and it could be interesting to see its components PictureProfile wise.

    Any idea???

    I’m thinking on RGB trick discovered:
    As far as i understand Samsung RGB logic (realised in PictureProfile tuning) - it is the middle point of a curve. Thus, when we rise all three together, we make picture brighter and less contrasty without touching exposure (ISO).

    I can report: i have very nice improvement with boosting BlackLevel up to +15 on top of new RGB boost, + Expose Compensation - 2.

    I can strongly recommend ALL NX1 users to experiment with RGB boost…

    Can you explain the workflow a bit more?

    I am not clearly understanding what is going on here!

    I use only M for video, what is the workflow for that?

     

    Just boost R G B colors to max (sounds creasy but it works) in custom1 picrure profile. Everything else left untouched. You will see it strait...

    Method 2 is producing some surprising results indoors. Just for fun turn the color in the profile to full 1.99 on all 3 colours. Now use a negative exposure comp to bring the scene to the same level as would be the standard exposure profile. The ISO for capture is much lower and the noise is much less using the custom method compared to standard exposure.

    Anyone else?

    Man You made my day!!

    Your trick with colour boost is simply one of THE BEST tricks with NX1 i ever tried!

    RESPECT TO YOU MAN!

    I can definitely see less contrasty curve in a more pleasant way. On top of that EXTRA STOP, which is additional bonus! I double checked with Manual Mode (M) also: it works the same way, for both: video and photo also (jpeg definitely)..

    There is a bit of colour change in miner, but, all together makes picture more pleasant to my eye.

    RESPECT TO YOU MAN! and thanks for such a great trick discovered…. The same as you, i will try to shoot at least a project with "Colour Boost" profile to report wether or not....
