With the vasile hack you load it once.

However the 2.5k is pretty much useless. Tons of moire, artifacts, and low quality overall. There is a reason they left it out of the official firmware!

1080p looks much better than the 2.5k.

I was surprised at just how good the 1080p is. I know it's not apples to apples comparison but to my eyes the 1080p looks more detailed than 4k on any phone I've owned.

Just a shame that uploading to YouTube results in a lot of compression, which is why it can be useful to upscale to 4k first.

MArky, I came across this old thread, and the thing is, I really find the 4K on the Nx500 to be less detailed than the 1080p. I thought I was crazy... then, I thougt maybe the 2.5k will be better, with the hack, have you tried it? Is it as bad as people say here? I just wish the NX500 shoot the same quality 4K as the NX1, because it is so light and handy I guess this is not going to happen, I mean the hack so it shoots 4K with no crop...

I haven't tried the hack, because of the bad feedback on here. I just stick to 1080p unless want a little extra reach.
