NX2000 Mods (No Lens, 1080p60 and Record Cap Removal)
3

Hi!

For a long time I've been waiting for mods or custom firmware for my NX2000, since it has no buttons for a keypressing super hidden konami code hidden menu, I was hoping someone would hack it somehow.

Well, I gave up for a while, and yesterday I was searching mods for "her" once again.
There aren't any.

So, long story short, I made it work by editing some strings using Telnet.

I used the tutorials for NX300, Nx1 and NX500 to learn how to communicate with the NX2000, and spent 20 hours studying the files, strings, codes, to maybe be able to change something useful.

Anyway, here it is!

So far, I was able to change:

  • Enable No Lens Release
  • Disable movie recording cap
  • Enable 1080p 60fps recording

Feel free to try in your bodies, and remember! I HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OVER DAMAGES TO YOUR CAMERAS, LENSES, BATTERIES, SD CARDS, OR ANYTHING THAT MAY OCCUR DURING THE INSTALLATION.

I hope you all make good use of those commands and mods.

***UPDATE***

I haven't noticed that the camera uses 2 limitations for videos, one is in minutes, 20 min for 1080p60, 30 for 720p60 and so on. The other one is for file size, to be more precise its about 4gb per continuous recording.

I'll be trying to bypass this one too, I will update the post if I succeed.

4GB file limit? That's a limitation of FAT32. Try formatting an SD card to exFAT using a computer.

Unfortunatly I'm already using exfat, actualy I've been using exfat in every single thumbdrive and SD card I have for a while now... I think there's something else inside the code preventing it to write more than 21:15min of footage.

I checked the 1080p60 option without removing the time cap, and it shows me a limit of exactly 21:15min. With the removal of time cap it gives a few crazy numbers as limit, something like 37859309.

Anyway, I manage to dig into the di-camera-app, I'll try to find the hex values for those limits.

If anyone has a clue, please share with me and I'll test in my camera.

Hey, this is great! I have the same camera with the same firmware (1.18) could you provide some instructions on how to remove the "No Lens Release"?

See https://github.com/hunkreborn/Samsung-NX2000-Moding-Hack/blob/master/NX2000%20Application%20strings

You likely need to toggle APPPREF_B_ENABLE_NO_LENS_RELEASE

Read here for how to change preferences https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/Prefman_tool.md

If you click on a user's name, you will see a page with the option to send them a private message toward the top.

That being said, I myself still own an NX2000 if you need help with something there.

Hey shutterbugnx,

Do you know how hunkreborn enabled 1080p 60fps?

By the way, I managed to enable No Lens Release thanks to your help.

Also, do you know any ways to do digital zoom? The manual mentions using the iFunciton button on the lens but mine doesn't work (I think not at all). I bought my NX2000 second hand and the only time I can zoom in is by using focus assist on MF.

How have you managed to enable 1080p 60fps? I had a friend try to mod it a couple of months ago and the only thing he did is that he managed to do is something involving the direct link button and a phone app that doesn't work anymore. I wish I could control it with my phone and film in 1080p 60fps but I have no clue how to do it. I might go to my friend again to see if he can mod it properly. Could you maybe share more info on how to do it? Thank you

Has anyone figured out how to enable a fully electronic shutter on NX2000 (disable mechanical)? I found something for nx500 but It doesn't work as the address and locations are different and I am unfamiliar with what they did there. I couldn't find anything related to shutter type using prefman either.
