Re: Samsung Galaxy Camera (aka GC100)

In the specs, I see this Camera has:

  • Shutter speeds go from 1/2,000 second to 16 seconds.
  • 768x512 pixels at 120fps (slow motion)

But can you do both at the same time ?

ie. Does high speed video (120fps) allow for manual shutter setting (ie. 1/2,000 second) ?

Good question; too bad you didn't get a straight answer. I looked in the GC100 manual, looks like the answer is no.

However, it looks like my NX200 has 1280x720 @ 60fps or 640x480 @120fps. The NX20 is very similar.

Also, for my purposes for golf swings the 15fps for 2 seconds Burst mode at 5MP works great for golf swings. Speeds up to 1/4000 are available for all these modes. Works real well for stopping even some of the fastest club head speeds. There are also available Burst modes of 30fps for 1 second and 10fps for 3 seconds. Since the typical golf swing is a little less than 2 seconds, I use the first method mentioned.

Hope this helps.
