I finally tested my by NX1 on a 4k monitor. I've had issues with excessive aliasing on the NX1, so far I'd say using a 4k display does in fact mitigate the issue somewhat. I will test more tomorrow hopefully. Looks like some of you nerds were right, the aliasing, at least to some extent, is related to scaling. 4k is pretty, that's for sure.
Vitaly, I know about the changes they explicitly mention, I just wonder what the "minor bugs" are all about.
Oh man I've been shooting with 1.3 I didn't realize 1.31 they fixed the peaking issue. I'm about to upgrade ASAP
The Samsung NX1 is not a camera from a company trying to feel its way cautiously into a crowded market. It is a serious camera for serious photographers and it is a no-compromise machine with first-class optics to match.
Well,
I wonder what the "minor bugs" fixed really are on this firmware? I upgraded but would like to know.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out the review. :)
Google Translate kind of garbles the German, so are they saying that the default of 0 for sharpness gives you the best UHD 2160p image without extra garbage?
They do seem to reiterate what others have stated that the Cine 4k mode is cropped and upscaled UHD resolution. I'll definitely be skipping that mode!
@Tollwannabe Why don't you check the review of the NX1 at slashcam.de? There are test charts that clearly show there is very little edge enhancement or halos in UHD at the default settings. It is the cleanest UHD of any camera. If you reduce sharpness, you are mainly fuzzing the picture. The "extra" sharpness (compared to other cameras including the GH4) is indeed extra resolution.
Has anyone definitively answered at what point the Sharpening setting turns off the in-camera electronic over-sharpening edge ringing and haloing effect (some call it "edge enhancement" on video transfers) and allows for the natural 2160p image detail to pop through?
I'm not trying to go for the extra soft, detail robbing "film" look by dialing the sharpness down all the way, but that happy medium when the added "extra" sharpness goes away.
Or... is there added sharpness all the way to -10 and something Samsung must address in a new firmware update and a more flat camera log profile than Dynamic?
Since the GH4 seems to be the darling of the sub-$2,000 UHD camera club, there doesn't seem to be as much professional testing information out there to sift through.
Thank you!!
Not saying it's a mass exodus.
I've seen 2 sales threads mentioning they were upgrading to Song and maybe 15 or more people weighing the option in various threads. That's across maybe 5 forums.
