Re: Modding NX500 and NX1 - silent shooting

Just did a small test:

1. I can see no difference in image quality between ROLLING and MECHA shutter (tested up to ISO 6400, did not test 5 stop pushing of SRW)

2. I can see no shutter shock at any speed in ROLLING => actually clearer image

3. Timelapse works - yay

4. You can set any shutter speed you want, but if it's under 1/30s it will be 1/30s - no long exposures

5. Rolling shutter is really taking it's time rolling - at least 30ms but can give you that "vintage fast" effect

6. Setting does not survive reboot - not really a bad thing

Did not have time to test with flash but I think it will be pointless.

TLDR - I now have almost all things I wished Samsung would give me:

1. Running files from SD card

2. Silent shot for time lapses

3. Removed time limit for recording (well, at least with 1080p30)

4. Fully controllable camera from Linux

Thank you Samsung engineers!
