NX300 - LCD Photos Review Quality Loss

Hello everybody, I'm having a pretty bumming LCD review quality loss on the NX300 I just bought - had switched from a NX3000 that I loved but had problems with the lens adapter, but never had this kind of issue on the latter or any other Canon DSLR I worked with.

It basically reduces the color shades and the detail quality from the live view, it just make you feel you got a really bad photo no matter how good it looked like at the moment of taking it - it's like it's showing a really low quality super compressed gross jpeg of the taken picture, if that can give you a better idea - not to speak of the still preview image of videos, even worst!

Camera is updated to the latest firmware, tried with a different card from a different DSLR, same thing - adding that everything looked great back in the Canon viewfinder.

As it's a really annoying issue already for personal use, it can become pretty damaging in case of wanting to give a client a fast sneak peak of the shooting straight from the camera.

Also image 'fries' a lot in live view, especially on low exposure/high ISO - other issue that never happened in other cameras.

Looking forward to have some hints from you people.

...did you purchase a used one? I only ask that because if it was defective to the original owner - yet could be passed off as working just fine - you could have just inherited a scenario like this.

Secondly, let's look at your LCD setup. Go into Menu, then cursor down on the left hand side until you see the "cog" symbol - clicking on that. Now in that menu area, cursor down to the 3rd item in that menu - Display Adjust - and click on that. Now look at your settings there and adjustment Display Brightness if necessary (I keep mine on Auto Brightness). Now look at your Display Color and make adjustments if need be there.

If you don't have a defective LCD, you have to realize that some displays require adjustments to offset issues that can arise with constant use. And not that this matters (it may not at all), but I keep my camera color profile set to Adobe RGB.

But getting back to the first question I asked you. If you purchased the camera used, there could have been a chance that the seller was not really up front with you as to why he/she sold it (I mean, how would you know?).

Now, I've had cameras similar to this - that is with time (and some purchased used), the LCD's weren't the most accurate at all. However, in the menu system I made sure to have the histogram showing - giving me a general idea as to how the image will turn out. Because the final image should be just fine and you have to adjust to the LCD that you have.

Now if you purchased the camera new (from a reputable dealer), then you may want to send the camera into Samsung repair (if we can still trust them - are they even in operation anymore?) to see what they say and do.

Not having your NX300 in from of me, these are the only ideas I can come up with.

By the way I was born in Moosburg, Bayern and emigrated to the USA back in the mid 1950's.

Viel Glück....
