SEF42A not working with NX100!

Hello Guys!

I moved from my Sony A700 to the Samsung NX100 cause I want a little camera to use more. The A700 was the major part of the time on my closet.

Well, After 3 weeks with the NX100 I liked it a lot and started to look for a Flash gun as the camera dont have one and some times I need it to take some pics with my friends.

So, I found one SEF42A here for a great price and bought it. For my surprise it did not worked on the camera! My NX100 is MADE IN KOREA for Brazilian market and the flash the guy told me that he bought in USA, so its MADE IN CHINA to USA market. My NX100 have the latest firmware, 1.12.

I get in contact with Samsung Brasil and they told me that the camera and the flash are not compatible. HOW NOT??? USA site says SEF42A is made for EX1, NX5, NX10 and NX100!

And the Brazilian site say its only compatible with NX10!

So, anyone have some idea if is possible to solve this problem? Or anyone already heard about this problem or a similar one?

Tks
