NX1 Instability recording 4K Video!! I think its the SD Card causing it! Issues with SanDisk cards??

Hi guys,

I bought my NX1 two weeks ago with the intention of using it for both video and stills.

I upgarded the camera to the latest firmware (1.4) when I first got it and recorded a few very short clips (less then 30secs) when I got it just to see what the 4K was like.

Today I tried to record a longer clip and the camera just hard locked on me and froze!!! It managed 2 mins before dieing. I took out the battery to get the camera to turn off and then tried again - this time I got around 1min 30 secs. Its really frustrating since this was one of the big reasons for buying the NX1!! I tried to record 4 - 5 times and each time the camera would hard crash on me with the only option to get it working again to remove the battery.

Now when I got the camera I purcahsed a SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB card which was very highly rated.

Just to test, I took out the Sandisk memory card and put in the cards I usually buy and use in my NX300 and NX500 - which are cheap and older Lexar 16Gb SDHC 200x Class 10 cards.

I was only able to record 7m7s clips using these small cards in my NX1 but the camera did not crash. I then ran to this three times in a row and again the camera did not crash so it seems my NX1 doesn't like the SanDisk Extreme Pro 64Gb card! I've not detected any issues with the SD card with stills - it just seems to be video that is causing problems.

I tried the SanDisk card in my NX500 and it completed a full 15 min clip without any issues.

Is the SanDisk card known as having problems with the NX1 in video?

This is the specific card I have had problems with:

Thanks for any assistance.
