Samsung has just made available a major firmware package developed for its NX1 4K digital camera, namely version 1.30, which allows embedding EXIF data into JPG images, improves overall AF function, and increases time-lapse to 3,000 shots.

In addition to that, the sensor will now be able to read larger data size, therefore improving FHD quality (up to 60P but not for Slow Movie), and the camera receives Time Code features, Rec Run option, and Zone AF mode.

If applied, firmware 1.30 increases AF size to 5 steps in AF Area Size, removes time limitation in Bulb mode, allows capturing individual 4K frames forward & backward with precision, and includes various other changes detailed in the Release Notes below.

When it comes to upgrading, first you must go to Menu > Settings > Device Information, and make sure the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release. If it’s not, save and extract the downloadable archive

Now, initialize a memory card using your camera, transfer firmware file “NX1.bin” onto its root directory, ensure the battery is fully charged, and turn off the imaging unit.

Afterwards, connect the memory card, power on the NX1, and go to Menu > Settings > Device Information > Software Update > Body Firmware Update. From there, agree with the “Body Upgrade?” message, and wait patiently for the process to complete.

Last but not least, bear in mind that your camera will first check firmware 1.30, reboot, and then initiate the installation, thus make sure you don’t cut off its power. Also, once finished, it would be a good idea to check the firmware version once more to ensure the process was successful.

That being said, download Samsung NX1 Camera Firmware 1.30, apply it on your device, and enjoy the changes that this new release brings about. Also, constantly check our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
