Samsung had talked about a firmware update for the NX1 camera back at the CES earlier this month. The company also said that the update would be available for download by mid-January, and it went live earlier today. As you expect from a firmware update, there’s a lot of bug fixes and optimizations. However, in addition, there are some new features thrown in as well.
This includes the ability to control autofocus speeds during movie shooting, and a higher bitrate setting for when shooting 1080p video to deliver even better video output. Also, ISO is now controllable via the hardware dial, which apparently was a much requested feature by shutterbugs. There are many more features, the discussion of which is beyond this article. Which is why, you can take a look at the list below and get the gist.
