Samsung NX1 Touch Focus on Samsung Smart Camera App

This is a great feature that lets you use touch focus on an Android or iOS smartphone, using the Samsung Smart Camera App, to focus the NX1 remotely over the camera's WiFi. It's great for one person shoots where you are the only one shooting video and being on camera talent.

[Video] Boston Media Makers Roll Call August 2, 2015 (HQ 1920x1080) Shot with Samsung #NX1

What's intersting in this video is seeing how quickly the camera focuses on each subject. Also, when presented with a strongly backlit subject, the camera handles it well. Pretty nice.

Baby in 4K

I'm a babysitter.

It's a perk of being an Uncle.

My wife Carol and I are babysitting a 6 month and 2 1/2 year old once a week. These really are adventures in babysitting. ;-)

This week I had a Samsung #NX1 camera with me for review. I wanted to take some photos of the baby to see how they came out.

PHOTOS
The detail is amazing. I'm used to shooting photos with the camera that I have on me, the iPhone 6, but quality of these images far surpasses what I usually get with the iPhone. The iPhone is great for sharing on Facebook and Instagram, and viewing on a smartphone or even Facebook. But when you look at the detail here, it's stunning.









All these photos were taken in AUTO mode without any post processing.

VIDEO
Next up video. I shot these handheld videos in 4K mode. That's 4096x2160 resolution.





H.265
The resulting video gets saved to the camera's SD card in H.265 format. That's an up and coming format that uses less space to save video and provides greater resolution, but you can't upload this format to Facebook or YouTube, yet. You can't edit it either unless you convert it first. It will be good in the long run, but right now it's an extra step that's cumbersome.

Samsung supplies an app for that: Samsung Movie Converter.

I was not asked to write anything about the car in exchange for the opportunity and was not provided any other compensation of any kind.

Samsung Galaxy Camera. One of my Oh Wow! Highlight products of #SXSW

"What the heck is that?!"


This story starts with meeting Chris Voss at the SXSW AMD party. He had the Samsung Galaxy Camera on a nice rig for shooting video. I'd never seen the camera before, so I asked him about it and he let me take a look.





Next I met Calvin Lee at the Chevy Allhat party. Thanks to Richard Binhammer & David Armano for hosting.



Chevy handled the sponsorship in a really great way, they got up to the microphone and said: "Hi everybody. We're Chevy and sponsoring this event, just wanted to say that we hope everybody has a great time."

I cheered that. When you're at SXSW, and, brands are just bombarding you with requests to pay attention, Chevy understands that by just being there, and available, is the best way to make a good impression. They also had a presence by placing their cars in front to the convention center each day, and by offering people free rides. I ended up having a nice chat with a few Chevy representatives.

But back to my Samsung story.

The event was a fundraiser for the Horse Boy Foundation. It's mission is to bring the healing effects of horses, nature and supportive community to autism families free of charge.

After getting back from the Allhat party, a few of us went to the Tuner Lounge.

Once there, Calvin mentioned that there was free Wi-Fi. I didn't care. Why did any of us need free Wi-Fi no one had their laptops with them.

Then, tell them to go to his galaxy camera and started showing us his Allhat pictures.

He asked, is this a good want to share?

I looked over, and saw that she had Instagram on his camera. That's when I said, "What the heck is that?!"

He told me that the Samsung Galaxy camera is an Android device and can run Instagram. He then chose a filter and at that point I was in a state of disbelief. It got better when he chose to share the photo on twitter.

THAT's why he needed WiFi.

Note also that this camera is going to take much better photos than a smartphone, and thus make your photos standout on the Instagram photo stream.

What? That's Instagram on a Camera!

Samsung at SXSW



I am looking forward to getting one of these Samsung Galaxy Cameras to put through it's paces for both photo and video.

Samsung did a great job of getting seen at SXSW via social media influencers.
