I have come across what is to me a few serious issues with my NX1 and was wondering if anyone else has had the same experiences and how they have resolved them (if at all).
Last night I was experimenting with tripod mounted nightime photography using bulb mode and a triggertrap remote release.
I took a series of images at 1m, 2m, 3m and 4m
My first issue is the time that the camera took to process these images, this being the same as the exposure time - e.g. 4 minutes for the 4 minute exposure!
(So if I wanted to take a series of timelapse nighttime photos, the processing time would render this - under most circumstances using triggertrap - impossible. Likewise hdr bracketing)
The other issue I have is with the amount of noise generated at long time intervals.
The attached photo was a 4 minute exposure at iso 800, f22. In addition the lense had a cp filter attached.
(Gives rise to the question, what would the result have been from a 16 minute exposure but I dont really want to wait the 16 min processing time to find out ... would I just have been generating more noise anyway?
I have attached the 4 minute image.
I have sharpened it somewhat and done some other editing in Lightroom. It has also been pushed a couple of stops.
The noise in the darker areas should be readily apparent at full resolution
Many thanks for any suggestions or experiences under similar circumstances
