I've had my NX500 for years now and haven't dared to install the mod, for fear of bricking the camera. Although I did really want to check out the 2.5k mode.

Anyhow, had a bit of free time today and found a very straight forward, easy to follow video on YouTube and it was actually quite simple to do.

Thanks to Vasile and Otto also!

have you tryed it? For some reason I don't like the 4K video on the Nx500, it doesn't seem as sharp... what are your conclusions, comparing to the 1080p, and the 4k? thanks

I have it installed now and it's great.

I did read some earlier reports that there were some flaws with the 2.5k but to be honest it looks great to my eyes. It's also nice to be able to to control the bitrate more finely.

I felt the same as you about the 4k but 2.5k is the sweet spot in my opinion. Given the camera a new lease of life!
