Re: Samsung SEF580A/NX300 compatibility update

I am not surprised really.  I wish I still had the NX300 to test with.  To summarize: your complaint was that only A-TTL and M modes are available and none of the other more advanced features like multi-flash, HSS, and Master control?

Also, in US in most states you don't ever have to register a product to be eligible for warranty coverage (this is explicitly prohibited by many states).  Some companies do offer extended warranties if you register (for example, Nikon), but mostly warranty registration is used to build marketing lists.

Looking around I don't see any firmware updates.

It is almost like Samsung US (and others) need support people specifically for NX cameras, and also get their website into shape.  I don't think any of it is intentional, they market directed towards consumers (most of which won't buy the SEF580A).  At least they are much better with firmware updates for the cameras now, US site actually gets them in a timely fashion
