Is the EX1 or NX5U equipped with ECS (Extended Clear Scan)?

[AlexCFrey]

Hello all,

I have a project coming up that will involve shooting computer screens.

After doing some research, it looks like the way to get around banding/flicker caused by the sync scan of the camera not matching the refresh rate of the monitor is a function called ECS, extended clear scan.

I can't seem to find out which cameras have this when I google it.

I have access to an EX1 and an NX5U, does anyone know if these cameras can eliminate flicker/banding from the computer screens? Or is there another similar camera I should use instead?

Thanks!

It's not going to be the same quality as EX1, But I do know for 100% that the xha1s does have a clear scan setting within the shutter speed wheel. I imagine there's others, but I can't say which.

Does that mean the EX1 does NOT have a clear scan setting?

im not sure if it does to be honest, Hopefully someone will chime in that knows for sure.

Nx5u has a flicker reduce setting.

Yes, the EX-1 has ECS...

I'll second this. IMHO it works as well as old betacams. You can reduce flicker, but even if you dial it in as close as you can, you might see a very faint refresh line.
