How to Shoot Video with the Samsung NX500 mirrorless camera?
If you want to shoot good videos, don’t use automatic mode.
Here’s how I use the NX500 to shoot video in manual mode.

Settings
First, make sure these settings are correct. You only need to set them once.
- Go to Menu > video camera.
- Select Movie Size > 1920 x 1080 (50p or 60p).
- Select Movie Quality > HQ
Shooting
Follow these steps to shoot in manual mode.
- Switch to Manual “M” mode.
- Set ISO. I like 6400 for shooting indoors in the day.
- Fix Shutter Speed at 1/50.
- Adjust Aperture to just below “over-exposure” as indicated by the zebra lines.
- Set White Balance using the custom setting.
- Select the type of AutoFocus. Sometimes I use Manual Focus, but most of the time, I prefer Continuous AutoFocus.
- Press the Record button to start and stop recording.
During video recording, especially in run-and-gun events, I adjust only two things, the aperture and the zoom… sometimes the focus.
Audio
Please note that the Samsung NX500 does not have a microphone input jack. If you intend to shoot interviews, this is not the right camera. However, it can be a great b-roll device.
