I had a Nx1 for about a week before someone stole it out of my car. I only had a chance to use it with a adapter and nikon lenses. I really enjoyed the camera and thought the video was great. I did struggle with the rolling shutter while hand holding the camera in 4k mode. I'm wondering if the image stabilization on the samsung 16-50 S would help with the rolling shutter while hand holding? I'd appreciate any feedback form anyone with any experience with this combo. It's an expensive lens and not as fast as my sigma 18-35 which looks great on nx1. Thanks

Excuse me, but with the highest respect, I must ask you:

Are you a Troll? Are you a Paid troll?

Sincerely.

Excuse me? Calling me a troll for asking a legit question? The rolling shutter in the nx1 in 4k is very poor! It's to point it's not useable hand holding with any adapted lenses, at least for my standards. It's a totally legit question to ask if a $1,100 lens from samsung helps while hand holding and shooting 4k. I go to remote areas and I don't always have my rig or tripod with me. My question still stands, does the image stabilization in the samsung 16-50 s help with the rolling shutter. If anyone with actual experience with both camera and lens i would be thank if you could share your experiences. I think overall the nx1 is a great camera. I think the still side alone is pretty amazing, it's just with adapted lenses the rolling shutter is to much for my tastes.

I think the question was more along the lines of if you understand what rolling shutter actually is?

It shouldn't be noticeable unless large areas of your image are undergoing very rapid motion, in which case it is more of an issue with your shooting technique.

Note that lens image stabilization itself will introduce distortions to the image if you have large depth of field (as a result of motion of the lens elements). You won't see it in stills, but it can be unsettling in video. It is more noticeable on a 4K image because of the superior resolution. This is why it is usually best to shoot video from a tripod or some other sort of external stabilization method.
