I'm actually considering getting one of these (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AUOX9J0/ref=gno_cart_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2UHLVL8IH9Q52) to do time-lapse photography with an NX300.
What is this 4 min limit you guys are referring to? Can someone explain this to me?
In bulb mode the NX300 has a 4 minute limit. No 1 hour exposures or anything. Also, bulb mode forces long shutter speed noise reduction, so no shots longer than 30 seconds to avoid that.
Your only way to take an exposure longer than 4 minutes is to use 30 second exposures with the long shutter speed noise reduction turned off and to stack them.
When I tried to do a star trail shot the other night, a bug in continuous shooting mode with 20 or 30" exposures made the camera lock up after 2 or 3 shots and need to be power cycled before it will take another shot. Could just be my camera too. So really, I don't use my NX for very long exposure shots at all (i.e. longer than 30 seconds since I don't have a remote).
If you want to use it for long exposures, I think an interval remote in AF-S is the way to go, but it is definitely not the ideal camera for astrophotography.

Hi Eric,
Some amateur questions for you. Why do you need to turn off noise reduction in order to stack exposures? if you had a camera that could to unlimited bulb exposure would you still turn off the noise reduction?
How did you figure out the bulb function on the camera was forcing the noise reduction on?
