Samsung NX500

I have 10mm/16mm macro tubes - but they are not used with these pictures.
Photos are made with standard lens 16-50mm, but cropped - NX500 has 28 Mpixel
- ideal for cropping, but most of them are over 4000x3000 ... resized to 800 pixels horizontal for forums.

It's astonishing how sharp 16-50 ... sometimes I prefer my NX500 over my 2.5x so
expensive GH4 - especially for 4K videos. I'm using lenses from 8mm to 500mm with both cameras.

Hehe, I used polarizer :) - but angle of (diffuse) light was not okay
- and brightness red/black were difficult.

... all flowers, flies, wasps, berries, ... are from my garden :) !

I like NX500 more than my GH4 ... + 9.99% !

For both I have 10 + 16mm macro rings.

My question is not earth-shattering, but it interests me :

For Samsung cameras, the app "Remote Viewfinder" - makes camera smartphone remotely controlled. So far so good.

I have NX500, with my Note3 it can remotely controlled very well - camera operations are turned off, then it is only smartphone operated . Many features are available, including lifeview, zooming (by powerzoom). No problem to take photos or videos. Buuuut: video is only selectable up to 1920x1080, no 4K.

However, YouTube video shows 4K is possible - at least for NX1! Why not for NX500?

Samsung Bluetooth Shutter can take photos and starts/stops 4K video! Only buttons for photo and video. Is this a question of ( streaming ) speed ?

Should not be a problem if it appears to be working well with NX1 ... but not with NX500 ?
