This is how the Samsung NX1 takes the perfect Baseball shot :)

Unlike so many other companies Samsung is very openly disclosing the details of their new NX1 camera tech. In an interview at Imaging Resource Samsung manager Jay Kelbley shared many small details about the new sensor and other camera tech innovations. The video on top shows one of the new curious features of the NX1 which can detect a moving object and take a picture when this happens! Perfect for taking pictures of your kids playing baseball :)

Jay explains how this works:

Yeah, every four milliseconds, the DRIMe V hardware clocks in the image, searches for the ball, and calculates the ball’s position change and rate of change of position, and predicts the moment that the ball will pass the reference. The speed can vary over quite a range, but the hardware rejects objects moving too fast or too slow.

And all goes merit to the new DrimeV engine that can read all(!) 28 megapixels, at 240 times a second!

This is probably one of the most innovative products we had this year at Photokina. This could finally become Samsung first camera to actually generate significant sales after so many unsuccessful years!
