My Camera > Shooting modes

vMovie mode

In Movie mode, you can shoot videos in High Definition (1280x720) and capture sound via the camera’s microphone.

In order to adjust the exposure level, you can select Program in the Movie AE Mode options menu so that the aperture value can be automatically set or select Aperture Priority to manually set the aperture value. While shooting a video, press [Depth Preview] once to activate the AF function.

Select Fader in the Movie AE Mode options menu to fade in or out a scene. You can also select Wind Cut to prevent some surrounding noise from being recorded and select Voice to mute or un-mute voice.

The camera lets you capture video files up to 25 minutes in length and saves the files in MP4(H.264) format.

•H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest video coding format established in 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a high compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space.

•If you have the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the camera may record the image stabilizer sound.

•The zoom sound may be recorded if you use the zoom while recording a video.

•If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie, the recording will be interrupted. Do not change the lens while recording.

•If you change the shooting angle of the camera suddenly while shooting a movie, the camera may not be able to record images accurately. Use a tripod to minimize camera shake.

•In Movie mode, the camera supports only the Multi AF function. You cannot use any other focus area setting functions, such as Face Detection AF.

•When the size of a movie file exceeds 4GB, the camera automatically stops recording. If this occurs, continue shooting by starting a new movie file.

•If you use a slow writing memory card, the recording of your movie can be interrupted because the card cannot process data at the rate the video is being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or reduce the image size (for example, from 1280x720 to 640x480).

•When formatting a memory card, always format using the camera. If you format on another camera or a PC, you can lose files on the card or cause a change in the capacity of the card.

NX100 specifications

The Samsung NX100, launched in 2010, marked a significant entry into the mirrorless camera market, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovation and style in photography. This compact system camera combined versatility with advanced technology, appealing to both amateur and professional photographers alike.

One of the main features of the NX100 is its 14.6-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, which delivers stunning image quality and excellent low-light performance. This sensor size is comparable to that found in many DSLRs, allowing for greater depth of field and better control over exposure. The impressive image resolution enables photographers to capture intricate details without sacrificing clarity, making it ideal for large prints.

In terms of design, the NX100 boasts a sleek and stylish body that is both lightweight and compact, making it easily portable for photography on the go. The camera features a detachable lens system, compatible with Samsung's NX mount lenses, allowing users to tailor their equipment to the specific needs of their shoots. The standard 20-50mm lens provides great versatility for everyday photography.

The NX100 incorporates a Hybrid AF system, combining contrast detection and phase detection to achieve fast and accurate focus, an essential feature for capturing moving subjects. Furthermore, the camera supports continuous shooting at 3 frames per second, enabling users to capture action sequences with ease.

Another notable characteristic of the NX100 is its 3-inch AMOLED display, which offers vibrant colors and excellent viewing angles. This display is crucial for composing shots and reviewing images in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, the camera includes manual control options, giving experienced photographers the flexibility to adjust settings such as shutter speed and aperture, while also providing automatic modes for those looking for ease of use.

The camera's integrated Smart Filter effects allow for creative expression directly in-camera, offering options like Soft Focus, Vignette, and Miniature effects. These filters enhance the creative potential and make experimentation more accessible for users.

Enhanced connectivity is also a key feature, as the NX100 includes Samsung's i-Function technology, allowing users to adjust settings directly from the lens using designated buttons for a seamless shooting experience. The ability to connect via USB and HDMI provides additional convenience for sharing images and videos directly to external devices.

In summary, the Samsung NX100 reflects a blend of sophisticated imaging technology and user-friendly design. Its APS-C sensor, compact build, and innovative features create an appealing option for anyone looking to dive into the world of photography or expand their creative toolkit.
