The native 4K Samsung NX1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 16-50mm f/2-2.8 S ED OIS Lens combines a camera capable of professional-grade video and photo output along with a sharp, bright lens suitable for wide-angle photos as well as portraiture. The NX1 is built around a 28.2MP BSI APS-C CMOS sensor that not only produces high-resolution images, but also 4K video at 24 fps, UHD at 30 fps, and full 1080p HD video at up to 60 fps. High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265) is applied so that even 4K and UHD video files remain easy to edit and share. A sharp, 3.0" HD 1036k-dot touchscreen monitor and 205 phase-detection AF points benefit both cinematographers and still photographers, and for instances where it is preferable to use the camera's viewfinder instead, a sharp, 2360k-dot XGA OLED electronic viewfinder is also built-in.
Built for fast shooting conditions, the NX1 provides a 15 fps burst with autofocus plus a 1/8000th second maximum shutter speed. For use in low-light, the ISO range can be expanded from 100 to 51,200. A full complement of shooting modes are available, including Aperture Priority, Auto, Manual, Program, and Shutter Priority, plus "smart" modes such as Action Freeze, Beauty Face, Fireworks, Landscape, Multi-Exposure, Night, Panorama, Rich Tone (HDR), Sunset, and Waterfall. Images can be saved as RAW files or JPEGs of various file sizes that correspond to user-selectable image ratios of 3:2, 16:9, or 1:1 and according to the user's desired color editing space of Adobe RGB or sRGB.
Saving and outputting large video and image files are accommodated by the camera's ability to utilize UHS-I or UHS-II SD-type memory cards, and a USB 3.0 port. Additionally, a micro HDMI connector allows video to be recoded directly to an external recording device with a 4:2:2 (8-bit) output signal. The NX1 also takes advantage of wireless technology as well. Built-in Near Field Communication (NFC) capability allows individual images to be wirelessly transferred from the camera to a smartphone or tablet. Additionally, 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi capability coupled with Bluetooth 3.0 technology allows for fast and cordless transfer of files while providing constant and accurate GPS data when the NX1 is paired with smartphone.
Designed to fit securely in hand, the NX1 is also water and dust resistant with a magnesium-alloy internal frame for added durability.
The camera is compatible with Samsung NX-mount lenses and included in this kit is the Samsung 16-50mm f/2-2.8 S ED OIS Lens. A Premium "S" Series lens, it offers a 35mm-eqivalent range of 24.6-77mm, and provides an angle of view that can be used for wide-angle shots to portraits. It has a fast f/2.0 - 2.8 maximum aperture range that enables low-light shooting and shallow depth of field, while a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm creates pleasing blur in out-of-focus regions. The lens can be stopped down to f/22 and features optical image stabilization.
Also included is an extra Samsung ED-BP1900 Rechargeable Battery Pack for the NX1, an ED-BC4NX03 Charger, and the ED-VGNX01 Vertical Grip. The vertical grip can accommodate two ED-BP1900 batteries and provides additional comfort when holding the NX1 camera in portrait mode.
