Samsung NX Protocol – Boot Sequence (2)

Posted by admin on in Canon EF-Samsung NX AF Adapter, Samsung NX Protocol

This post is continued from previous Samsung NX Protocol – Boot Sequence (1).

Step 3 : Lens Specific Property Request/Response

From this step, NX camera generates CLK signal at 2MHz.

In this step, NX camera inquires all detail info. which are defined in “Step 2: Block 4 : Support Property Indices”. For example, in the case of NX 30mm/F2.0 lens, the block contains 5001, 5002, 5003, 5007, 5008 and 5009. They are used for detail request in this step. If the body is NX1 (possibly NX500, too), the body inquires 2 addition information prior to 50XX request.

Step 3: Block 1 : Actual Focal Length  (Only NX1)

  • DCL: 0x05 0x10 0x0D 0x60 0x0C
  • DLC: 
    • Byte 1 : Packet size in byte.
    • Byte 2 – 3 : 0x20 0x01 – OK response
    • Byte 4 – 6 : always 0x00 0x00 0x00
    • Byte 7 : Following number of 2 byte size entries 
    • Byte 8 – (last byte – 1) : 2 byte sized entries
    • Last Byte : Checksum. 1 byte sum value from Byte 4

I couldn’t figured out accurate meaning of all entry values. But, all prime lens has only one value and all zoom lens has 18 values. So, I guess the values are some sort of actual focal length values according to 18 zoom positions.

Step 3: Block 2 : Specific Open Aperture F-Number

 (Only NX1)

  • DCL: 0x05 0x10 0x0D 0x60 0x0F
  • DLC: 
    • Byte 1 : Packet size in byte.
    • Byte 2 – 3 : 0x20 0x01 – OK response
    • Byte 4 – 6 : always 0x00 0x00 0x00
    • Byte 7 : Following number of 1 byte size entries
    • Byte 8 – (last byte – 1) : 1 byte sized entries
    • Last Byte : Checksum. 1 byte sum value from Byte 4

This block is similar from Block 1. But, the value size is 1-byte.When you take a look the value, it is quite close to real F-number of lens. For ex, 16-50 Pz lens has F/3.5 – 5.6 value, and the value of the block range is 0x3B – 0x52. This value has same with 18-55 lens.

So, I guess this block also contains 18 zoned actual open aperture F-numbers. So, prime lens has only one value.

After this entry, NX camera inquires for the entries which are shown in “Step 2: Block 4 : Support Property Indices”

In according to the table in Step2: Block4, Entries, 5001, 5002, 5003, 5007, 5008 are 5009 shown for all lens and bodies. And entries after that, some entries only available for only some lenses.

 

I will not list up all the entries, but some.

 

Step 3: Block 5001

  • DCL: 0x05 0x10 0x06 0x50 0x01
  • DLC: 
    • Byte 1 : Packet size in byte.
    • Byte 2 – 3 : 0x20 0x01 – OK response
    • Byte 4 – 12 : 0x00 0x02 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x02 0x00 0x04 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03

First entry of 50XX inquires. All NX camera and lens has same values.

 

Step 3: Block 5007: Farthest / Closest Focus Positions(?)

  • DCL: 0x05 0x10 0x06 0x50 0x07
  • DLC: 
    • Byte 1 : Packet size in byte.
    • Byte 2 – 3 : 0x20 0x01 – OK response
    • Byte 4 – 6 : 0x00 0x04 0x20
    • Byte 7 – 10 : 0x?? 0x?? 0x?? 0x?? <– not identified values which are vary for each lens.
    • Byte 11 : 0x01
    • Byte 12 – 13 : 0x?? 0x?? <– farthest focus position
    • Byte 14 – 15 : 0x?? 0x?? <– closest focus position
    • Byte 16 – 17 : 0x00 0x01

This entry contains far most and closest focus positions.

Step 3: Block 5008 : Fixed / Zoom Lens Indicator(?)

  • DCL: 0x05 0x10 0x06 0x50 0x08
  • DLC: 
    • Byte 1 : Packet size in byte.
    • Byte 2 – 3 : 0x20 0x01 – OK response
    • Byte 4 – 7 : 0x00 0x02 0x00 0x01
    • Byte 8 : 0x??  <– not identified value.
    • Byte 9 – 10 : 0x01 0x01
    • Byte 11 : 0x?? <– fixed / zoom lens indicator(?)
    • Byte 12 : 0x01

Byte 11 would be fixed / zoom lens indicator.

Step 3: Block 5009 : Max / Min Aperture Indicators

  • DCL: 0x05 0x10 0x06 0x50 0x09
  • DLC: 
    • Byte 1 : Packet size in byte.
    • Byte 2 – 3 : 0x20 0x01 – OK response
    • Byte 4 – 10 : 0x00 0x02 0x20 0x01 0x01 0x01 0x01 
    • Byte 11 : 0x??  <– max aperture indicator
    • Byte 12 : 0x??  <– min aperture indicator

Value in byte 11 and 12 are about min / max aperture indicator. They are not about actual aperture F-number. It is more likely describes how many steps are for aperture values.  For example, In case of 16-50PZ lens, it shows the range is from 0x01 to 0x1A, which means there are 26 steps. In case of 45mm /F1.8 lens, the range is from 0x01 to 0x24, which means there are 32 steps for setting its aperture.

After Step 3. the NX camera tries to set initial aperture position.

For your information, you can see detail dumps of DCL and DLC values when NX1 is power up with NX 16-50 PZ lens.
