Re: HowTo - NX500 and NX1 - disable recording limit

Is their a mod or hack to disable recording limit on nx300? Or is it the same process outlined for nx1 and nx500?

Does anyone knows if that actually is true for the 3000 as well?

With my nx500 and 1.12 firmware this trick doesn't work anymore

Any tip?

If you want to hack your camera it's already included in the hack.

If you don't want to hack it I could make you a file that you copy to SD card and it removes the limit.

For people wanting to remove the 30 min recording limit without hacking the camera:

https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/Removing_Movie_Recording_Limit_Without_Hack.md

NOTE: This only removes 30 min limit. To have unlimited 4k/UHD on NX500 you need to hack your camera as described here https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/tree/master/nx-on-wake and here https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/tree/master/video-bitrate-mods/nx-patch

P.S. Ha - this is my 1500th post, nice as I have NX1000 and NX500  - combined together NX1500

While recording in 60p I only get 53 minutes of recording time, in 4K I get 105 minutes. Is this the limit of this mod?

I have a 64GB SD card in. Is it calculating the amount of time I have left and that is why I only have that much? Like recording in 60p will fill up my SD card to it's full capacity? I would ideally like to have over 100 minutes for 60p.

Re: HowTo - NX500 and NX1 - disable recording limit

What bitrate and what free space on the card? The hard limits are ~74 minutes for 4k and 120 minutes for others.

Does this no hack method work with NX300 too?

Re: HowTo - NX500 and NX1 - disable recording limit

You should be able to remove the recording limit on nx300 without hacking by using DEV MENU, could someone with nx300 post the key sequence?

Edit, maybe read this https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3197696

Developer option access hack not working on my NX3000, latest firmwaew updated (v. 01.11)

Any clues? I really need it to let the lens adapter work.

Can always mod the adapter physically to properly push down the lens present pin (if you look inside the mount it is the silver wide pin that is supposed to be pushed down by a flange from the lens or adapter. ... but manufacturing hasn't been precise on many adapters.

Re: HowTo - NX500 and NX1 - disable recording limit

Hey ttibek, thanks for response! Yes, I already fixed the adapter with some tape on flange position to keep the button pressed, but it's not the preferred option - took a good while off trial and errors before catching the right ratio and am pretty sure it won't be great when times will come to switch often with native lenses. If there's any info to hack the nx3000 firmware would be way better for me, but thanks for reply!

NX1, 1.41 firmware. No DEV menu following the sequence using a micro-SD card with an SD-adapter. Giving up.

Double checked the file is 12 bytes after saving?  It is important.  It can take some tries to get it right.

I'm not sure that with the last firmware you still can use this trick
