I am not 100% but it may be a firmware fixable issue or I'd hate to say maybe HSS only works with the NX30? Have you tried contacting samsung support?

I am actually waiting for a good price on the Flash so can't really test it until I actually purchase it though I do have the NX30.

The official Samsung website says "HSS Function is compatible with NX30 and successors".

Going to reply to both of you on this one.  I was not expecting HSS to work with the NX300.  What I was expecting was everything else.  What I got was a crippled flash that couldn't even do manual on the NX300.  Please read the post to reply to it.  These things are firmware fixable (except possibly the HSS).  I did contact Samsung support (again, read the post) and they were totally useless.  Since I didn't gain any information on whether or not Samsung had any plans to correct this I had to send the flash back (not chancing them not ever fixing it).
